Solieque Vanity Countertops
A Solid Surface Solieque Vanity Countertop is
an Ideal Solution for a Bathroom Vanity Countertop
By: Mark J. Donovan

As part of a bathroom remodeling project I installed a new bathroom vanity and a
solid surface Solieque vanity countertop. I had previously not installed a
Solieque vanity countertop and was very much impressed with its look and
quality. The particular Solieque vanity countertop that I installed was
manufactured out of a solid surface material and included an under-mounted
Corian bathroom sink. It had a smooth and non-porous surface that made it ideal
for a bathroom application where mold and mildew growth can be a common problem.
|
The overall thickness of my particular bathroom vanity was ½” thick and came
with a Set-on backsplash.
Solieque solid surface vanity countertops are manufactured using a blend of
acrylic resin and natural minerals. And again, since they are non-porous they
are impervious to stains.
Besides its quality and aesthetics, another reason why I decided to go with a
Solieque vanity countertop was that I could have it manufactured to my custom
specifications. |

I had a unique bathroom vanity requirement that required an odd length
countertop with a centered sink bowl. As a result, an off the shelf solution was not feasible. I also liked the
fact that Solieque vanity countertops can easily be repaired for minor
scratches. All that is needed for removing small scratches is a Scot-Brite pad.
Installing
Solieque Vanity Countertop
Installation of the Solieque bathroom
vanity countertop was a breeze. I first installed the bathroom faucet assembly
and drain pipe onto the Solieque vanity countertop.
|
Then, after making sure the bathroom vanity was level and secured to the wall
with screws, I put a series of dime size dabs of silicone caulk every 6 inches
all along the top perimeter edge of the bathroom vanity. Prior to applying the
silicone caulk I wiped down the perimeter edge with a rag to remove any dust. I
then carefully placed the Solieque vanity countertop onto the top rim of the
bathroom vanity, resting the back edge of the countertop onto the rim first.
Using a damp rag I then wiped away the excess silicone caulk.

To complete the installation of the
Solieque countertop vanity, I wiped down the back sides of the backsplashes with
denatured alcohol and then applied dabs of silicone caulk onto the backside of
the two back splash pieces and along the bottom edges. I then set them in place
against the bathroom wall and the top surface of the Solieque vanity countertop
to complete the project.
So if you are looking for a beautiful looking bathroom vanity countertop that is
simple to install consider installing a Solieque vanity countertop. They come in
a myriad of colors and can be manufactured to meet your specific countertop
needs.
