Understanding Dual-Mount Flexibility
The Cheviot Square basin features a specialized rim design that accommodates both drop-in and undermount installation methods. Think of it like a picture frame that can either sit neatly on top of a mantel or mount flush behind a custom cutout; the physical frame remains identical, but the way it interacts with the surrounding surface changes entirely. When used as a drop-in sink, the finished rim rests directly on top of the countertop cutout for straightforward mechanical support. When configured as an undermount sink, the countertop material spans over the edge of the basin, creating an uninterrupted transition from stone or solid surface directly into the white ceramic bowl. This versatility allows installers to adapt to various countertop materials and design preferences without changing the underlying porcelain fixture.
Installation Guide
Verify countertop cutout dimensions match the inner bowl and overall length of 16 1/8 inches and width of 16 1/8 inches before beginning installation.
Determine whether you are using a drop-in or undermount configuration and apply the appropriate mounting clips or adhesive sealants.
Connect a standard center-placement drain assembly, ensuring all rubber gaskets and washers are properly seated to prevent leaks.
Pair the basin with your chosen wall-mounted or separate deck-mounted faucet since this model features zero pre-drilled faucet holes.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the white ceramic surface down with a soft damp cloth and mild dish soap to remove toothpaste and soap residue.
Stain Removal Use a non-abrasive liquid cleanser or a baking soda paste for stubborn marks on the porcelain.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Refrain from using steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or abrasive chemical bleach that could dull the glossy finish.
Rinse Thoroughly Always rinse the bowl completely with clean water after applying any cleaning solution.
Prevent Impact Damage Take care when handling heavy glass or ceramic items around the basin to prevent chipping the rim.
