KITCHEN WORKTOP INSTALLATION GUIDELINES AND CARING FOR YOUR NEW WORKTOP

This installation guide is for laminate worktops only, laminate worktops are made up from a high density core like chipboard or similar material and covered in a laminate decorative surface so can be cut with standard DIY tools and saws.

Kitchen Worktop Installation Guide:

When using an electric saw you should start from the decorative profiled front edge cutting the worktop face down.
When using a handsaw the decorative face should be uppermost and again you should start from the decorative profiled front edge. Keeping the saw at a low angle to ensure the best cut. Ensure that your saw is sharp and well set and has 10/12 teeth per inch.
Cut-outs should be measured and marked on the worktops decorative surface using a soft pencil. Check your measurements before you begin making the cut-out.

Join the drill holes to complete the cut-out remembering that if using an electric jig saw you must use a down cutting blade or if you only have a normal up cutting blade turn the top over and work from the back.

Cut edges may be trimmed with a plane before applying the edging tape supplied with your top. Having ensured that the cut edge is flat and dust free apply a PVA woodworking adhesive to the edge and apply the edging tape supplied with your Worktop pressing along the length to ensure a good bond. Wipe off any deposits of glue from the face of the Worktop and edging immediately with a damp cloth.

Cleaning and General Maintenance of Your Worktop:

Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or a non-abrasive cleaner to keep the laminate surface clean and hygienic. Any potentially stubborn stains should be removed immediately and the use of abrasive cleaners should be avoided.
