INSTALLATION OF JOINED COUNTER TOP MADE OF LAMINATE
Install the counter top so that it is level. Check with a spirit level. The base must be level and secure.
Square corners and other joints are supplied with art. no. 392011 which consists of glue, three connection
fittings (C) and wooden biscuits (D). Fit the wooden biscuits in the milled groove. Place one wooden
biscuit right at the front edge of the groove and one wooden biscuit right at the back edge of the groove.
Place the remaining two wooden biscuits at regular intervals between the front and back edge. Slide the
boards together, then check that the surfaces of the boards are level with each other. Joints between
counter tops may become uneven if the boards are conditioned differently. These uneven areas should be
evened out using shims or by pulling down. This also applies between sinks and counter tops. If the board
needs to be joined with connection fittings, you may need to make holes in the base in order to tighten
the connection fittings from underneath. Once they fit, pull the boards apart. Apply the supplied sealant
over the upper part of the particle board joint. Use the entire contents of the tube. Press the counter tops
together within 90 seconds, then fit the three connection fittings (C) so that the counter tops are pulled
together. Start adjusting the front connection fitting so that the counter tops are even at the upper edge,
then tighten. Do the same with the centre fitting and then the inner connection fitting.
NB: Check that the excess sealant is pressed up along the entire joint and that no air pockets have
formed. Remove the excess sealant immediately with a plastic scraper or a piece of stiff cardboard. Wipe
dry using a cloth dampened with acetone or equivalent. Always work from the wall, towards the front of
the board and diagonally over the joint, so that the sealant is pressed down into the joint. Tighten the
connection fittings (C).

IMPORTANT:
The sealant must be
applied on the top over the entire
length of the joint in order to
prevent the joint from leaking,
which could result in a risk of
moisture damage.
