Important points to note
Measuring up
• Any cut edges on a chipboard base material must be sealed with a chipboard sealer prior to installation
• Apollo® Magna solid surface can expand as much as 1mm/mtr, so always allow a gap of at least 3mm if for example, worktops are captive between walls
• Tolerance in Apollo® Magna is ±2mm
• Splashbacks and upstands over 100mm high must have a minimum gap from the face to the rear of the hob: Electric 50mm, Gas 100mm
• Allow a minimum 50mm from the cutout 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 a minimum of 100mm from the sink or 120mm from a hob cutout
• Allow a minimum of 120mm between heated cutouts
• Stainless steel sink cut outs to manufacturer’s recommendations
• Standard overhang is 35mm from the carcass front not the door
• Overhangs in excess of 300mm should be supported and the worktop should be supported every 600mm
Hot Stuff
• Do not pour boiling hot water directly into solid surface sinks, and where constant boiling hot water taps are fitted, please ensure they are not left running directly into solid surface sinks
•Heat producing appliances that sit beneath the worktop, must have an aluminium foil membrane placed on the underside of worktop, directly above the appliance.
• Ensure that pans used on gas hobs are of the correct size
•Hob flanges need to sit on aluminium thermal insulation tape around the cut-out, to avoid conducting excess heat and causing cracks in the worktop
• Flush mounted, recessed hobs (including induction hobs) are not covered under warranty
