Worktop Joining Glue, Pure White, Solid Surface, Lab20^®

Measuring up:
Lab20® solid surface can expand as much as 1 mm/mtr. Always allow a gap of at least 3 mm if for example, worktops are captive between walls
Tolerance is ±2 mm
Splashbacks and upstands over 100 mm high must have a minimum gap from the face to the rear of the hob - electric 50 mm, gas 100 mm
Allow a minimum 50 mm from the cut-out to the front edge
Whereas possible, joints in worktops should fall on a carcass and panel, giving added support to a joint
Joints should be a minimum of 100 mm from the sink or 120 mm from a hob cut-out
Allow a minimum of 120 mm between heated cut-outs
Stainless steel sink cut-outs to manufacturer’s recommendations
Overhangs in excess of 300 mm should be supported and the worktop should supported every 600 mm
A gap of at least 3 mm should be left at each end of the worktop and filled with decorators caulk
When joined to other materials (such as glass, steel or wood) an elastic type of adhesive, for example polyurethane, is required to let parts expand and contract freely
Hobs must be integrated into a Lab20® work surface according to specified guidelines
Installation:
Plastering or tiling should be completed after installation
Regular use of the care and maintenance kit should be ensure worktops stay in good condition
Installation is relatively easy, for either a competent DIY enthusiast or recognised kitchen installer to carry out
No specialist tooling required. Can be cut using normal woodworking routers and blades
Plan the worktop layout to ensure joints don’t fall on or within 100 mm cut-outs
