H. Backsplash shall be field installed, with tight, sealed joints. J. Sinks shall be selected from manufacturer s standard sink designs and colors, and shall be formed integrally into countertops. As a general rule, solid substrates should only be used for furniture or vanity tops, or overhangs where heat sources are not present. The runner method uses 1 x 4 supports that run parallel to the length of the cabinets. These supports should be mechanically secured to cabinets.
Frameless cabinets require the thickness of the top edge to clear doors and drawer fronts.
For example, a kitchen island with a cooktop and overhang. Steel frames should be mechanically secured to the cabinetry which will provide a catilevered support. All heat or cold sources should be insulated using Avonite Thermo-Flow tape. Install vents and fans in the cabinet. Place the fans near the bottom of the cabinet wall to circulate air throughout the cabinet.
