    Default Setting Scallop Foot Cabs on Ceramic Tile

    Maybe I'm over thinking this but I need to address it.

    I'm getting specs for a 2 bath reno I'm into that includes 2 sink vanity that has scalloped feet, granite top. There will be ceramic tile on the floor. Most likely porcelain.

    The tile floor will not be true like a flat floor. Are there any difficulties or tips in setting this type of cab. There's no toe piece to cover shims of course.

    What's to a good install so it doesn't rock ?

    Why won't the floor be on plane?

    On this one we made sure the tile was set flat. It does not look like it in the picture, when Eric laid out the tile the grout lines are on center of the feet. A little extra time in the beginning may save a lot of grief latter. Not scalloped feet but the same idea.

    Being scalloped, I assume you can't sand them to avoid rocking?

    Good suggestions Tom.

    I think sanding the feet, maybe is what I'm looking for ?

    I'll do what I can about the tile. I'm not putting it in.

    Flat and level. Sanding means sealing. W/o knowing the pesky details of what type/style of leg or how much correction, on which legs, color of adjoining members, sight lines, etc., consider the variety of PSA tapes available from HDPE, ABS, melamine, wood even, that can be quite effective.
