Wood Worktop installation & aftercare instructions - Part four

Cutting & routing worktops :

Where appropriate, use templates supplied with the sink/hob etc... as a guide for cutting your worktop. IMPORTANT: Before making any cuts into your worktop ensure it is marked correctly.

If drainer grooves are required it is essential that they are machined by an experienced installer/fitter. It is important the grooves are correctly angled towards the sink to allow any water to drain. If water does sit in the grooves, it can cause the worktop to split.

We advise that drip grooves are machined into the underside of the worktop where belfast sinks are fitted. When you have fitted a sink to the worktop, seal the area with an appropriate mould resistant silicone paying special attention to the underside.

NOTE:For accuracy, quality and safety, all cut outs should be bench-cut using a jig and suitable router, never a jig saw. Our staff can advise on a comprehensive range of professional quality worktop jigs, please enquire for further information.

Having made all the cut-outs i.e. for the sink, hob etc., make sure that all cut edges are treated sufficiently and immediately with oil as previously instructed in this leaflet.
