CENTERPOINTE BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTERTOPS
5
It is not recommended to attach your CenterPointe
countertop directly on top of a solid underlayment or
existing countertop; remove existing top if applicable.
NOTE: If a solid particleboard or MDF underlayment is
required, use a 1/4” drill bit to drill holes every 6” to
9” for adequate ventilation.

COUNTERTOP PLACEMENT
Place your CenterPointe countertop in the location that it will be
installed. Allow 1/8” of room for expansion at each end. The gap can
be concealed with backsplash material or trim. Verify spacing and
cuts are accurate.
NOTE: Butcher block surfaces should never be attached with
caulk or construction adhesive as this will prevent natural
movement and result in damage to the top.

CORNER JOINT PLACEMENT
When joining two CenterPointe butcher block countertops
together, the butt joint method is recommended. Three
standard worktop jointing bolts must be used on each
joint. Cut bolt cutouts to a depth of 25/32” using a worktop
jig and router. Join using PVA which should be applied to
the top and bottom edge of the joint. Tape each side of
joint to avoid PVA spreading over the countertops. Ensure
cut edges are sealed before installing. Butt Joints with
opposing grain direction are never to be glued, instead
use silicone sealant.
