BEFORE YOU START
PLEASE :
• Check local plumbing and building regulations for approved procedures and use of appropriate accessories.
• Inspect the sink for potential damage. If you are concerned about a specific area covered with a protective
film, remove it to verify the sink condition. After inspection, put the protective film back in place.
• Return the sink to its box until you are ready to install it.
• Determine the type of installation required (réf. page 28).
• If your countertop is made of marble, granite, quartz or a solid surface, you need to ask your manufacturer to
pre-drill holes underneath to allow the installation of threaded inserts. Please screw the mounting brackets
into these holes, ensuring that all brackets are used and evenly distributed between the sink's front, back,
and sides. Please refer to your countertop installer for the type of hardware to use.
WARNING
For best results, enlist the help of a professional installer to cut the countertop, install the sink, and connect it.
Improper installation will invalidate the warranty.
Julien recommends that the sink be installed in such a way that it can be removed without damaging the
countertop.
Please note that sinks with a front-to-back dimension of 18" may require a custom cabinet to ensure adequate
faucet clearance.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED

6
PLAN AHEAD
Make sure the inside width of the cabinet (side to side) is a minimum of the overall left-to-right sink dimension + 2"
to allow for bracket installation. Make sure enough space is left behind the sink for faucet clearance.
A printed cutout template is supplied with the sink and a digital format is available online at homerefinements.ca*.
We strongly recommend using the digital template to obtain the most accurate cutout possible. The dimensions
provided are designed for an overhang installation.
The cutout template supplied with our SmartStation REV10 sinks allows for a 3/8” (10 mm) reveal installation.
Refer to page 28 for more details on possible types of installations.

INSTALLATION TYPE
Please make sure you select the appropriate installation type for the product you have chosen.
UNDERMOUNT OVERHANG 1/8"
This installation provides a 1/8” (3mm) overhang of
the countertop over the flange of the bowl and matches
the cut-out provided with your sink. All our undermount
sinks are designed for a 1/8” overhang installation with
the exception of the SmartStation REV10 collection. Our
standard installations will guarantee a perfect fit with our
sink accessories.
UNDERMOUNT REVEAL FOR
SMARTSTATION
The default installation for our SmartStation REV10 sinks
leaves a positive reveal of 3/8” (10mm) on the front and
back of the sink and a 1/8” (3mm) overhang on the sides.
This installation lets you place your sink accessories on
the exposed flange, allowing the countertop to act as a
stopper for the accessories. Our standard installations will
guarantee a perfect fit with our sink accessories.
UNDERMOUNT REVEAL OPTION**
Choosing the REV option will extend the flanges of 3/4"
at the front and back of the sink. During the installation,
a positive reveal of 3/4" (19 mm) on the front and back of
the sink must be created and we recommend a 1/8" (3 mm)
overhang on the sides.
This option is necessary if you intend to use your sink’s top
flange as an accessory rail. It can also be added to any of
our sinks that were originally designed for a standard 1/8”
overhang installation.
*Excludes À la Carte Home Refinements sinks ordered with the REV option. In this case, please refer to the cutout template supplied.
** Option not available for SmartStation and SocialCorner REV10 sinks that are already reveal installed.
No cut-out template is provided for À la Carte and Signature sinks.
Confirm that your cabinet size will accommodate the bowl and faucet installation.

INSTALLATION OF A SINK
WITH A LA CARTE OPTIONS
If you have a sink with one or more A la Carte options, always start with the cutout template for your base sink, then
make the necessary adjustments according to your chosen options.

INSTALLATION WITH SOLID SUPPORT
1. Make a 3-sided frame to support the flanges of the sink. The inner dimensions of the frame should be 1/2" larger than
the top of the bowl.
Measure the height of the apron, then install a support underneath.

INSTALLATION WITH BRACKETS
Follow the installation steps for a standard undermount sink on pages 29 à 30. Please note that À la Carte sinks do not
include cutout templates and as such, it is best to wait until you have your sink before cutting your countertop.
Apronfront sinks can be installed in several ways. If you decide to use a method other than the one recommended by
Home Refinements, the countertop cutout will be dierent from the one illustrated in this installation guide.
Minimum inside cabinet width = Sink left-to-right overall dimension + 2"
*It’s best to wait until the sink position in the cabinet has been finalized before measuring the countertop cutout.

PRECAUTIONS
Acidic-based or chloride-based products : Stainless steel is vulnerable to hydrochloric and sulfuric acid, as well as other strong acids and
chlorine-based products. Please do not use the following products :
• Construction chemicals
• Solvents (ex: plumbing PVC solvents, etc.)
• Photographic developing liquids
• Denture cleansers
• Grout and stone cleaners
• Silver cleaners
• Non-diluted bleach
• Household cleaners containing chlorine
• etc.
These products can cause discolouration or corrosion. If one of the above products comes into contact with stainless steel, wash it immediately
with plenty of water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Ordinary steel and carbon-based contaminants : Avoid leaving cans, steel wool, scouring pads (ex: S.O.S.), etc., in contact with stainless steel.
These can leave small steel particles on the surface and contaminate the stainless steel, causing rust stains.
Corrosive food : Citric fruit juices (ex: lemon), damp salt, and vinegar, among others, should not be left in contact with stainless steel for extended
periods as they can create corrosion.
Minerals : Saltwater can cause rusting on stainless steel that is not marine grade. It is recommended to use a 316 grade for marine applications.
Jullien oer this grade through its Signature concept. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
Rubber mat : Do not place a rubber mat under your sink. Food, water, and cleaning products can cling to it and create stains.
CLEANING
Daily cleaning : Julien recommends using Julien Cleaner and Polish, available at your sink retailer, for best results. Otherwise, use a well-wrung-out
damp cloth, previously soaked in soapy water, and wipe toward the metal grain. Rinse with clear water and dry.
NB : Home Refinements sinks are considered “flat-bottom bowls.” Even if their bottom surface is pitched toward the drain hole to ensure adequate
water draining, it is perfectly normal that some drops of water stay on the surface. Completely dry the sink to avoid water spots.
Oil or grease marks : Rub the surface with a cloth soaked in a mix of water and soap or water and detergent that is safe on stainless steel. Rinse
with clear water and dry. If a stain remains, consider adding a solvent such as acetone, methyl alcohol or mineral spirit to the mix. Review the
manufacturer's recommendations to ensure the solvent is safe on stainless steel.
Fingerprints : If a regular cleaning with soapy water cannot remove fingerprints, spray a glass cleaner or a household detergent on the surface and
rub it with a soft cloth. Rinse with clear water and dry.
Neglected surfaces, grime deposits, stubborn spots, light discolouration, light rust staining, and water spots : Use a non-abrasive cream or a
mild polish with a soft cloth or a sponge and rub in the direction of the metal grain. Rinse with clear water and dry. Be careful not to use abrasive
scouring powders or pastes, which can damage stainless steel.
Heat stains or heavy discolouration : Use a non-abrasive cream, a mild polish or a scu-free scouring pad such as “Scotch-Brit e®” (the blue one)
and rub in the direction of the metal grain. Rinse with clear water and dry.

19
MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning : It is impossible to wear out stainless steel by cleaning it too often. It is even the best way to preserve its aesthetics and
corrosion resistance attributes. Ensure you clean your sink before it requires an aggressive cleaning due to accumulated grime deposits.
Scratching : Even if Home Refinements stainless steel is a very high-quality material, it is still susceptible to scratches. To prevent scus and
scratches, we recommend using a grid to protect the bottom of the bowl, available at your sink retailer. To mask scratches on stainless steel, gently
rub the surface toward the metal grain with a fine abrasive pad such as “3M Scotch-Brite®.” This will help align and blend the new scratch pattern
with the original finish.
