Before beginning, turn off the water supply to the area. Clear the space around the installation site and ensure the wall and floor are clean and dry. Measure the corner space to confirm the sink fixture will fit properly.
Check the Wall and Floor
Inspect the wall and floor for any damage or uneven surfaces. Use a level to ensure the sink will sit evenly once installed. Make adjustments as needed for a secure fit.
