The killer of laminate counter tops is moisture which can eventually infiltrate under the stainless sink lip or at the faucet hole and reach the compress board backing under the laminate. I find it good practice to run a coating of silicone around the vertical edges of the cut sink hole and the faucet hole to seal the edges against water. I also like to run a bead of silicone around the underside lip of the sink, rather than relying solely on the rubber sink gasket. The gaskets do break down over time. Keep the water out and your laminate counters can outlast expensive stone counters and the laminates are more everyday friendly with minimal care.
This is such a professional DIY video, I'm extremely happy to see it. What a great job! Clear audio, clear video, NO BACKGROUND MUSIC (thank you!!), clear speech, clear instructions, and very good pointers all the way through.
A classic! Thank you very much!!
+Lass-in Angeles thanks for noticing, we do put a lot of time and effort into providing good videos. We've seen many videos with bad audio, bad lighting, poor instruction, etc. so thanks. Please subscribe and thumbs up.
Shannon,
I've watched a number of your videos over the years.
NOW...I'm actually installing a SS sink in a laminate counter top for my garage...."man cave-ish".
You, more than anybody else...offers actually great insights into whatever process you're describing.
No just the step by step stuff like others.
PRACTICAL suggestions in real world situations.
Keep 'em coming...WHO KNOWS what job I'll be doing next...
In most cases, I bet you've already done a video to show me HOW.
Great work.
Another excellent instructional video! After watching quite a number of your house improvement videos, I would say you are consistently one of the best, most thorough video teachers out there. Your explanations are always clear, and you frequently get into specific potential problem issues that many videos just gloss over. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks, Shannon!
I like to refer to your videos sir. Not only are you a good installer, but also doubled with a very good teaching ability! Thank you.
thank you for all your videos. every time i have questions about projects around the house i can always find a house improvements video that show step by step instructions. thanks again
Another very informative video... You really should be teaching in some trade school Shannon. The way how you explain things are so simple and clear. Thanks
Your my go to guy . Remodeling a home I bought that was built in 1932 and remodeled slowly from 1968-75 . Now it's my turn in 2018. Love your videos. Thank you
You’re so professional and calm.
Best DIY channel I've found! Very detailed and thorough. Thank you!
You should use plumber's putty around the sink bowl. Also around faucet base plumbers putty. This will prevent the counter from swelling with water, and future bacterial growth.
Excellent tutorial video Shannon. Thank you. I appreciate your explanations as to why you do what you do because it helps we viewers to understand the process. I've also viewed several of your other videos. I've come away with more knowledge, and for that, I thank you.
thank you very much.
You are good. I like listening to you. You have a good demeanor, and instructive, good teacher.
Truly great video for beginners like myself. Thank you for sharing your expertise in an easy to follow way. :)
Thank you for the informative videos, Shannon. You have definitely raised my confidence level. We are having to renovate our kitchen due to recent water damage. Keep up the good work. BTW, at certain angles, you resemble the actor Jude Law.
Great video, many thanks. so happy not to have background music, I could actually listen to him.
An easy solution to your one man sink job is using a suction cup made for large windows to hold the piece of countertop while you make your final cut.
Yup, I did have one at one time but found it was just 1 more thing to carry around
HouseImprovements That makes sense and if you can accomplish it with your hand then might as well go that route for convenience.
Great piece of advice using down-sided jig saw blades on laminates. Those small details make all the difference. Look forward to your next video..
Thanks for keeping it simple for us beginners ! Appreciate you.
Thanks for the detailed video instruction! Brilliant...so very helpful. Can't wait to see your other videos.

I'm from Kurdistan and I love watching your professional videos , you are great Maintenance
Great video for first time installers. Detailed hints and tricks to make the job go smoothly. Thanks.
Also, your tape job is superb.
Hi Shannon and greetings from the land down under.
I was researching making glass splashbacks and come across your vid..
Im pretty happy with my work installing sinks...
But im even happier now as i picked up a couple of extra tips to make things run smoothly 10/10....👍
Seriously you have such a cute accent lol....

Very helpful video. Thanks. You might want to give a little more detail on 'tightening' the clamps. Many sinks recommend a clip tightening sequence to avoid sink damage.
Good job again! Im from Vancouver, I lack the confidence to do some of the things you show until I see the videos. Im a finish carpenter but always like to take on new challenges.
great to hear we can help a pro
Do you know if those clamps will work with the ikea stainless steel sink? I got one and the chip that come with it are not good
Excellent video and instruction for a variety of "in countertop" installations. Thank you.
On this next step video, i like the stencil card board/tape trick as it makes it much easier not to screw up transferring the correct hole size into the counter-top for the sink. Though if a black mark on the tape wouldn't bleed thru i would enhance the pencil marks with a marker on the green tape before i cut because i tend to sometimes miss a light pencil mark.
Thanks Shannon , Your very good explaining. Will follow your instruction , thanks a lot.
Shannon,
One tip that is worth mentioning is when getting a drain assembly, try to avoid any type that creates a double strainer situation. I noticed on this drain, the top piece has a strainer, but the bottom also has a few cross pieces inside, creating a double strainer. The problem is that any debris that gets through the first strainer may get t get trapped on the second one. It should not be an issue with this one too much, as the second strainer is larger than the first. I have had to replace drain assemblies whiched clogged up all the time due to the second strainer trapping debris.
Good tip.
Thanks Mike. I would not have picked up on that.
If your sink doesn't have the foam strip around the perimeter you can check out SinkSEAL also. Very few sinks come with a sealing gasket (in the US anyway) and SinkSEAL allows you to seal the perimeter without silicone/caulk/putty. It can be found on Amazon.
Clear and concise. Thank you for your tutorial.
AWESOME series of videos!!! Many thanx Shannon
Very good video, it was very instructional to me, thank you
thanks Shannon, I like all yours videos. very helpful, step by step
thanks ,please subscribe to our channel...its free! th-cam.com/users/HouseImprovementsvideos?view_as=public
Great video on the sink install Shannon. Love the color on the walls and cabinets too.
the only one that mentioned the downward cutting blade . pro thanks
Pro tip!
I was not aware this type of blade was available. When installing a stove top years back, I used a regular blade but taping the cut area prevented chipping and cracking. This blade would have made the job easier and less stressful. Thanks.
Great video. This one and the other one about installing a laminate countertop were very helpful.
Glad to help.
Very useful for any beginner thanks good instructions
Thankyou very much for this instructive video from a professional.
God Bless.
I want to see how they install the old version which they used a putty or silicone to stop leakage on the countertops, your show is 100% perfect but we need what is needed or appropriate to our country philippines.
Great video, I plan to put in a new sink within the next couple of days. Your videos always are a great help.
Good luck
Thank you and Thank you . You are great.
God bless you . You are very helpful.
Shannon: Thanks for mentioning the down cut (reverse cut) blade.
Thank you, Shannon.
Excellent vid. Thanks Shannon
great video, gives me the confidence to install new sinks in my bathroom
+slackskillz Giver a go! good luck
Nice video. Thank you. I found plumbers are usually using Silicon to cut water penetration. Is it necessary?
Thanks for this vid. Just what I needed
Excellent Video! I am now a subscriber. Thanks Shannon.
Another great how to video. Thanks
A very informative and helpful video Shannon. Thanks!
you are welcome
I thought the template looked a little crooked too. Perhaps adding a think strip of wood behind the template at the back base would ensure that the sink is lined up straight. But, thanks for sharing. If the hole is not done properly because the wood was cut out half an inch away it allows for imperfections. There may be a need to saw off a pinch now and then. My carpenter always seems to make a slight curve at the front center line out towards the window. Maybe he does this to make sure that the sink is snug? Or, to compensate for an imperfect cut?
An extra step I like to do is seal the particle board with polyurethane just in case it ever gets wet.
Perfect explanation
THANKS, I've watched other videos on this put your video was the easiest to follow, very helpful, I can now go do the installation with confidence. I clicked on the like button and subscribed to your channel. God bless

Awesome Video. I am staring down a project like this soon. I appreciate the good quality instructions and clarity of your video.
I feel like this is going to be easier than I had imagined now. Just subscribed.

Thanks for your such nice explanation & patient
Nice job dude!
Thanks Shannon!
Awesome video - you are a great teacher!

Should you use plumbers putty when putting the drain in?
Amazing video, thanks a lot for the help !
You are welcome
Great video, thanks for the help Shannon!

Have you got a video on Roof to wall securely connections.?
Your all videos are first class-good workmanship-precise and efficient.
shortly fantastic..
watch my shed build series, there I use some Hurricane brackets to secure the rafters to the walls, they are the same thing I use on garages and additions as well.

Yes and if your really good about it you shouldn't need any plumbers putty or caulking around the kitchen sink because of the rubber border strip that was under the peeled off sticker paper.
Also the built in flange takes care of not needing plumbers putty on the drain of the sink as well. Metal clips hold it to the counter top as well as the sink faucet when it is installed.
Hey Shannon! I love your videos, I'm a contractor and like to see how others work. If I recall you put the cabinets together, and there not some home depot junk right? I personally would have went with granite, and under mount
HouseRemodeling Yes these cabinets were made by me ( see videos). The granite is a nice touch but just to costly in my area as we do not have a local supplier.Its hard to justify the $$ in a flip house of this value. I actually prefer quartz but its even more. Thanks for the comment.
HouseImprovements I also like quartz. I didn't mean just granite, but I meant stone counter tops
Awesome thanks for all the info
Thanks for the video. It is very helpful.
Thank you 😊
Definitely you are best 👍💪🛠
Great video
Hello. I really enjoy your how to videos. Very helpful. Anyways I am trying to install a glacier bay sink drop in sink in my quartz counter top. The supplied clips aren't working out too well. The little teeth wont grab the underside of the counter and slip off when tightened. Can you or any one else here recommend a fix for this? Alternate clip that works with glacier bay sinks? Thanks !
Please come over to my forum for individual help www.house-improvements.com/forums/
Nice work
Great video, only comment I have is you were not able to put any clips on the faucet side, due to only cutting out the bowl.
Am I correct?
Great video. Learned a lot. Subscribed and liked.
Great education. Thanks!
you are welcome
I’m switching out the counter top and sink in the kitchen, can I install the sink first before placing the new countertop ?
If it is an under mount sink. Use our forum for more assistance if you need it.www.house-improvements.com/forums/
this is the best detail video all over in the you tube great explanation keep up sir ill subscribe you too
Very helpful. Thanks.
Very informative
Great video. Thanks.
When will you make the video on how to install the faucet and drain.
That will be a couple of weeks away.
Not a bad job! Well done video
+BJC Bathrooms and Kitchens Thank you
Great video, thanks!! I have seen my plumber to use a silicone to cover that fresh cut on the counter top as a barrier for any potential water penetration in the future. Good idea? Or not necessary?
Can't hurt anything.
that gasket that comes on the sink does nothing, a bead of silicone all the way around will stop water come getting in. you can also rub some on the the cut out part if its partical board, that will make the partical board water proof
Thanks and much appreciated your Video.
this video is very helpful, thanks
Curious why you didn't install the faucet before dropping the sink in?
The faucet goes through the counter top as well its not just attached to the sink.
ty for the video. if u do not have a gasket around the sink can I use silicone? and should I put a thin layer of silicone on the cut part of the formica?
+Robert Boblick Use plumbers putty under a kitchen sink.
@@HouseImprovements that was the question I had, I just pulled my sink to get the GD stuck faucet out. Thank you for the great video!
Like roughly how much does it cost to get a double sink changed? I believe my sink is licking and needs to be changed.
Great video Thank you .
You're welcome, Paul.
nicely done

Hello Shannon, I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. I have one quick question, I noticed you didn't put on plumbers tape when you screwed in the pieces in the sink, is there a reason why? My dad raised me to always use plumbers tape...I'm old school, forgive me if it's a stupid question. I know things are always changing.
If the fittings or lines have a rubber seal inside no tape is needed.
