[Audio description] Audio-described
version, with a

00:00:03.010 --> 00:00:06.020
synthetic narrator. The original video
pauses briefly for

00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:09.030
descriptions. The Fox Marble logo appears
over the

00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:12.040
fabrication shop, followed by the title,
Pre-Template

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:15.050
Checklist. David stands in a kitchen under
construction,

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:18.060
beside plywood-topped cabinets and a sink.

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.080
[David] I'm David with Fox Marble. Whether
you're

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:29.480
a homeowner or a contractor, this video

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.600
will help you prepare your job site
properly before our measurers arrive,

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:34.860
which helps us keep your project on
schedule.

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:36.360
Let's get started. All cutouts in plywood

00:00:36.370 --> 00:00:39.112
[Audio description] A sink cutout is
labeled, Complete all

00:00:39.112 --> 00:00:41.855
cutouts. Other labels say, Save sink
templates, and, No

00:00:41.855 --> 00:00:44.598
plumbing or fixtures. A faucet lying
beside the sink is

00:00:44.598 --> 00:00:47.340
crossed out.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.820
Let's get started. All cutouts in plywood

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:52.740
for sinks or other installations must be

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:56.300
complete. Important: please save the sink

00:00:56.300 --> 00:00:58.480
templates for visual inspection by Fox

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:01.740
measurers. No plumbing or fixtures, such

00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:07.520
as faucets, can be installed yet. Ensure
there's enough room for faucets and

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:09.960
fixtures between the sink cutout and the

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:10.540
backsplash. We need a minimum of five
inches

00:01:10.570 --> 00:01:13.510
[Audio description] An arrow behind the
sink is labeled five

00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:16.450
inches minimum. A later arrow at the front
shows one inch

00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:19.390
minimum of plywood between the sink
opening and the cabinet

00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:22.330
edge. These are different measurements, as
David explains.

00:01:22.330 --> 00:01:24.490
backsplash. We need a minimum of five
inches

00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:27.450
of stone between the back of the sink and

00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:30.370
the start of the backsplash. At the front

00:01:30.370 --> 00:01:33.250
of the sink, we need a minimum of one inch
of plywood

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:36.310
subtop from the front of the sink to the
edge of the

00:01:36.310 --> 00:01:39.450
cabinet. This supports a minimum of three
inches of stone.

00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:42.585
[Audio description] Arrows show the
undermount sink rim

00:01:42.585 --> 00:01:44.910
flush with the plywood. Another view marks
one-quarter inch

00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:47.235
of movement. Text says not to glue or
permanently set sinks

00:01:47.235 --> 00:01:49.560
in place.

00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:51.680
Undermount sinks must be routed in place

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.960
and flush to the top of the plywood
subtop.

00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.660
Sinks must have a quarter inch of
movement. Please

00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:04.080
do not glue or permanently set the sink in
place.

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:07.540
Your cabinet alignment must be square and

00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:10.020
level. Countertops will not hide these

00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.620
issues, but rather accentuate them.

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.948
[Audio description] The overlay-cabinet
example shows

00:02:15.948 --> 00:02:18.815
plywood resting above the cabinet frame,
labeled

00:02:18.815 --> 00:02:21.682
five-eighths-inch plywood. The
frameless-cabinet example

00:02:21.682 --> 00:02:24.550
shows the plywood flush with the top of
the cabinet frame.

00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:27.850
Overlay cabinets with three-quarter-inch
stone,

00:02:27.850 --> 00:02:29.950
for a total thickness of one and a half
inches

00:02:29.950 --> 00:02:32.550
of lamination, must have five-eighths-inch

00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:34.510
plywood set on top of the cabinet frame.

00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:38.230
Frameless cabinets with
one-and-three-sixteenths-inch

00:02:38.230 --> 00:02:39.770
or three-quarter-inch stone

00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:43.150
with no lamination must have a plywood
subtop

00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:45.790
set flush to the top of the cabinet frame.

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.030
[Audio description] An on-screen reference
reads, No

00:02:49.030 --> 00:02:51.700
Lamination and Farmhouse Sink Pre-Template
Checklist. David

00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:54.370
gestures at the sink and cabinet height.

00:02:54.810 --> 00:02:57.270
For more details on this type of
installation,

00:02:57.510 --> 00:03:00.210
please see our no-lamination and farmhouse

00:03:00.210 --> 00:03:05.290
sink pre-template checklist. For farmhouse
sinks, the top of the sink

00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:07.870
needs to stop at the top of the cabinet

00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:10.890
frame. Ensure the sink itself is set
level,

00:03:10.890 --> 00:03:13.470
as many are slightly warped. This home is

00:03:13.470 --> 00:03:16.202
[Audio description] An arrow marks the
distance from the

00:03:16.202 --> 00:03:18.935
counter to a hood above the cooktop. A
hood graphic appears

00:03:18.935 --> 00:03:21.667
to show the upper measurement point. The
range is shown

00:03:21.667 --> 00:03:24.400
separately with the label, Range must be
on site.

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.940
as many are slightly warped. This home is

00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:27.940
going to have a tile backsplash, but if

00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:29.660
you're going to have a full-height stone

00:03:29.660 --> 00:03:32.740
splash behind your cooktop, the hood must

00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:35.040
be in place to attain proper measurement.

00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:39.100
For kitchens, range appliances must be on

00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:41.160
site for visual inspection by Fox
measurers.

00:03:42.130 --> 00:03:44.705
[Audio description] The words Pre-Template
Checklist appear

00:03:44.705 --> 00:03:47.280
beside David. The closing footage shows
him using a tablet

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.855
at the counter, with the Fox Marble logo
and the words,

00:03:49.855 --> 00:03:52.430
Excellence from the Ground Up.

00:03:53.510 --> 00:03:55.830
In addition to this video, please review

00:03:55.830 --> 00:03:57.790
our pre-template checklist, where you'll

00:03:57.790 --> 00:04:00.210
find diagrams detailing the various types

00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:02.870
of installation. And don't hesitate to

00:04:02.870 --> 00:04:04.290

00:04:04.290 --> 00:04:06.550
have. It's important to us to help keep

your job on time and on schedule. Thank

00:04:09.170 --> 00:04:11.030
