DOUBLE WIDE HUTCH COUNTER ASSEMBLY
Currently, there is no SKU available for a continuous, one-piece, double-wide hutch countertop.
Below are instructions for creating a continuous countertop using two pieces of 14” top shelving
material. You may wish to order a custom, continuous countertop piece to fit your double-wide
hutch tower configuration. The dimensions for a custom 48” wide countertop (2- 24” hutch towers)
is 48-5/8” w x 20”d x 3/4”h. Ensure the side edges are finished since they are visible on the side
of the overlay.
1.
To create a continuous counter top across
two or more hutch towers from existing
SKUs, you will need two pieces of 14” top
shelf material and matching edgebanding
tape.
2.
Measure, mark and cut the front “top shelf”
to fit across both towers. (See Fig. 6.)
NOTE: If you are installing drawers and/or doors in
the bottom half of the hutch tower(s), you will need to
measure this additional top shelving to meet the fronts
of the doors and/or drawers flush along the face. This
depth can vary depending upon door/drawer type.
Further, with the top shelf now protruding from the
front of the hutch frame, the side cut edges will be
visible and require edgebanding. This material varies
in thickness depending upon finish. Please measure for
your double-wide top shelf dimension to accommodate
the thickness of edgebanding on both sides.
3.
Measure, mark and cut the back “top
shelf” to fit across both towers butted
against the back edge of the front “top
shelf.”
4.
Remove any drawers or upgrades under-
neath which may block access to screw
together the new, long top shelving to the
existing, one-tower wide fixed top shelf. Using #8 x 1-1/4” screws, fasten together the long top
shelves to the top fixed shelves, ensuring the front edge of the countertop extends to match
flush the door or drawer faces. (See Fig. 6.)
