Solid Surface Kitchen Worktops
While we don’t offer fitting services, we highly recommend using a registered tradesperson for your worktop installation. A professional will ensure that your worktop is fitted accurately and securely, giving you peace of mind and a perfect finish. Look for tradespeople in your area with good reviews and credentials for a smooth installation process.
Solid surface worktops are incredibly durable and are the ideal alternative to natural stone. They’re non-porous and hygienic, making them easy to clean and maintain. With discreet joints and waterproof properties, they’re perfect for seamless, stylish kitchens. Plus, they work beautifully with undermounted sinks for a sleek, modern look.
Our solid surface worktops are crafted from a solid acrylic material throughout. This construction ensures a consistent and durable surface that combines the high-end appearance of stone with superior hygiene and resilience. It’s the perfect choice for a luxurious yet practical kitchen.
Absolutely! Our customisation service covers everything you need, including cutting to size, edge finishing, joining, and more. For all the details and to begin your bespoke project, visit our customisation services page.
For solid surface worktops, the maximum unsupported overhang is 150mm. This provides a stylish and practical overhang while ensuring stability and durability.
- Assess the Cause: Determine why the worktop has bowed. Common reasons include changes in humidity or moisture content, improper installation, incorrect storage, or structural issues.
- Evaluate Damage: Check if the bowing is minor or severe. Minor bowing might be less of an issue and easier to correct.
- Avoid Cutting or Installing: If the worktop is significantly bowed, avoid cutting or installing it. Contact us to see if it can be replaced.
- Reduce Moisture Exposure: If the bowing is due to moisture, try to reduce exposure to moisture sources. Ensure there are no leaks from nearby sinks or taps.
- Weight Distribution: Place heavy objects or weights evenly across the bowed area to gradually encourage it to flatten out. Use something like heavy books or bags of flour for a couple of days.
- Flip the Worktop: If the worktop is not fixed in place permanently, flipping it over might reveal a flatter surface on the other side.
- Consult a Professional: If the bowing persists or is severe, consult a professional carpenter or installer. They can assess the situation and provide expert advice on how to fix or replace the worktop if necessary.
- Prevent Future Issues: Once the worktop is corrected, take steps to prevent future bowing by ensuring proper installation, oiling, and maintenance.
Depending on the severity and cause of the bowing, one or more of these steps should help alleviate the issue. If you're unsure or uncomfortable tackling this yourself, it's always wise to seek professional assistance.
