BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTERTOPS
5
It is not recommended to attach butcher block directly
on top of a solid underlayment or existing countertop;
remove existing top if applicable.
NOTE: If a solid particleboard or MDF top must be
used, ensure holes are cut into the board to assist with
adequate ventilation.

COUNTERTOP PLACEMENT
Place the butcher block 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 glued down
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 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.
