Worktop, Solid Surface, Cream, Apollo® Magna

Measuring up:

• Any cut edges in a chipboard base material must be sealed with a chipboard sealer prior to installation
• Apollo® Magna 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
• Wherever possible, joints in worktops should fall on a carcass end panel, giving added support to a joint
• Joints should be 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 overhang is 35 mm from the carcass front (not the door)
• Overhangs in excess of 300 mm should be supported and the worktop should be supported every 600 mm

Installation

• Plastering or tiling should be completed after installation
• Regular use of the care and maintenance kit should 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 to ensure joints don’t fall on or within 100 mm of cut-outs
