REAL-WOOD INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FIG. 6
Place the hardboard spacer strips provided in the installation kit on top of the cabinets to help the air
circulate. The hardboard strips should be placed every 60cm apart and where cabinets meet
together.
FIG. 7
You can decide yourself which way the worktop will move by selecting either the front or the
rear edge to fix your worktop into position.
FIG. 8 & FIG. 9
Joins have to be made with jointing bolts. Worktop biscuits must also be used to keep the
tops flush.
Use 3 bolts for a 650mm worktop. Drill holes into the tops of the cabinets, as it is very important that
the bolts are fastened from the inside of the cabinets. Use a butt and scribe joint rather than a mitre
when installing worktops in corners.
Place the 2 tops together and check to make sure all joints are square and true. Make any necessary
adjustments. On 90O corners, the worktops have been designed to always form right angled joins.
Insert the worktop biscuits and push the worktops together until they are 3-4mm apart and mount
the jointing bolts. Apply sealant from the installation kit along the joint and tighten the jointing bolts
so the joint is tight. (Do not over-tighten the bolts).
Remember to always carry out a final tightening and adjustment of the joints to complete
the installation. Clean off the excess bead of sealant whilst still wet.
FIG. 10
Always protect the worktop against heat (heaters/cookers) and moisture (dishwashers, washing
machines etc.) with aluminium foil. Glue the aluminium foil onto the underside of the worktop before
fixing. Make sure the foil covers the whole area of the worktop where the appliance is to be
positioned.
Household appliances such as coffee makers, toasters and microwave ovens should never
be placed directly onto the worktop surface as the wood may dry out and cracks may appear.
FIG. 11
Particular attention should be given to free-standing cookers. Apply aluminium strips with silicone
sealant to the edges of the worktop closest to the cooker.
Small cracks may occur but they are not damaging to the worktop, simply treat with extra oil.
FIG. 12
Free standing worktops measuring more than 250mm must always be supported by frames or the
insertion of T-bars to avoid bowing. If a worktop is to be fitted over a radiator, aluminium foil must be
used to the underside to deflect heat.
UPSTANDS
Upstands must always be installed after the worktops have been secured to the kitchen units.
They can be fastened by using silicone onto the back edge of the worktop surface and wall. It
is very important that the sealing against the worktop and wall is carried out correctly so that
water cannot get underneath the upstand. This will prevent damage and miscolouring of the
wood over time.
