How should laminate countertops be stored prior to installation?
Whenever possible, store your countertops horizontally as flat as possible. Try to keep them in a warm/dry area
and after dry fitting the pieces (laying out together and inspecting), put the pieces back in their protective
packaging until installation. Avoid storing countertops in garages or basements.
Can laminate countertops be used as a cutting boards or have hot utensils laid on them?
While contemporary laminates do have durable finishes, you should not cut directly on their surface or lay any
utensils warmer than approximately 250 degree F on your countertops.
Are build-up strips necessary for installation in every instance?
Yes. Our countertops are 3/4” thick with a 3/4” build-down front edge. If you were not to use build-up strips, your
front edge would hang down over cabinet drawers or doors. Build-up strips also provide support for your tops
and attachment points from cabinets to tops.
If my walls are out of square, do I need my countertops to be cut out of square as well?
If your walls are 1/2” or less out of square, simply sanding the scribe or back of the countertop to the contour of
your walls will provide a snug fit. If your walls are more out of square, it may be necessary for you to use loose, set
on backsplash to cover the gap between the back of the tops and the wall.
