FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

COMMON STAINS
Q - How should laminate countertops be stored prior to installation?
A - Whenever possible, store your countertops horizontally and as at as possible. Try to keep them in a warm/dry area. After dry-tting the
pieces (laying out together and inspecting), put the pieces back in their protective packaging until installation. Avoid storing countertops in
garages or basements.
Q - Can laminate countertops be used as a cutting boards or have hot utensils laid on them?
A - While contemporary laminates do have durable nishes, you should not cut directly on the surface or lay any utensils warmer than
approximately 250℉ on the countertop for an extended period of time.
Q - Are build-up strips necessary for installation in every instance?
A - Yes. Our countertops are ¾" thick with a ¾" build-down front edge. If you were not to use build-up strips, your front edge would hang down
over the cabinet drawers or doors. Build-up strips also provide support for your tops and attachment points from cabinets to tops.
Q - If my walls are out of square, do I need my countertops to be cut out of square as well?
A - If your walls are ½" 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 walls are more out of square, it may be necessary for you to use a loose backsplash to cover the gap between the back of the tops
and the wall.
