blocks as it may drop back down and cause damage to the
product.

Once properly installed, your new vanity top will be

Installation and Maintenance
www.usmarble.com
With proper care following installation, your Natural Stone
vanity top will last a lifetime... and beyond.
1. Prepare Vanity for Installation
• Wipe away any silicone from the base and allow the
silicone to set and dry (we recommend 24 hours).
• Clean vanity of all debris.
• Level the vanity front to back, side to side, as well as
diagonally.
• Shim the vanity to keep it level and secure the vanity to the wall.
• As granite and quartz are heavy stones, be certain that the
vanity can withstand the weight of the top.
2. Install Faucets
• While supporting the vanity top carefully, install the faucet set
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Install the Vanity Top
• Apply a small amount of 100% clear silicone at each corner
and the center of the front and back on the vanity top and
vanity cabinet.
• Carefully lower the vanity top onto the cabinet base and set it
in place.

4. Install Back and Side Splashes
• Clean the back of the splashes, and “dry fit” to ensure that all
pieces will fit tightly before applying adhesives.
• Apply urethane adhesive to the back side of the back and side
splash.
• Place the splashes in place on the surface of the vanity top
and against the back wall or side wall.
• Run a 3/8” bead of clear acrylic caulk on the top edge of the
splash where it meets the wall. Smooth the bead carefully to be
sure to fill any gaps due to a non-flat wall. Do not force either
splash to compensate for a non-flat wall, but use the clear caulk
to fill in those gaps.
• Run a 3/8” bead of clear acrylic caulk in the corner where the
backsplash and side splash meet (where applicable).

Granite and Quartz Care and Cleaning &
Sealing
For routine maintenance and cleaning, we recommend
Counter Gloss® Granite & Natural Stone Cleaner. This can be
purchased through U.S. Marble with your top or at your local home
improvement center or fine Kitchen & Bath Showrooms. When
used weekly, Granite & Natural Stone Cleaner not only cleans and
shines the surface; it also provides many of the benefits of a
sealer. It fills the pores in the surface so that stains will not
penetrate. Consistent weekly use will aid in prolonging the life of
the original sealer. More frequent use may be required if
countertop has an unusually high rate of activity or has had
frequent use of cleaning chemicals. Normal care and prevention
ALWAYS after use, wipe away any water left lying on the deck.
Even water can leave behind mineral deposits if not dried up.
ALWAYS place protective pads on the bottoms of any heavy
objects such as pottery, appliances, or other objects that may
scratch the granite surface.
NEVER use abrasive cleaners, tub and tile cleaner, toilet
cleaner, or rough cleaning pads. If necessary, a soft buffing pad
can be used. These types of cleaners can etch or dull stone
surfaces.
NEVER stand on the granite top to fix overhead lighting or other
items. This can lead to product damage or personal injury.
steps like wiping up spills should always be taken.
Natural Granite tops are sealed at the time of manufacturing.
Natural Quartz does NOT require being sealed.
100% Silicone is the ONLY approved material for use
during installation.
