Countertop Installation Points
Caulking
Backsplashes are caulk to countertop using 100% silicone caulking. I desired, silicone caulking may be used between countertop and cabinet. Installers do not caulk between cabinet and walls. This is left to finishers who use paint-able caulking.
Shims
Various thickness of shims may be required in order to give the countertop support about every 12 inches. Clear 100% silicone caulking is then used between the countertop bottom and cabinets.
