How to cut the kitchen countertop

You should do your best when cropping. Failure to trim can be very costly. When cutting the countertop, always make sure that the dimensions are correct and check that everything is correct.

  1. Place your worktop on the kitchen and check that it is properly seated. If you cut the worktop yourself, measure the required area and apply the measurements to the "rear surface" of the worktop.
  2. When cutting worktops, you should always use a very fine saw blade and saw very slowly. With finished countertops, you no longer need to saw out the surface, as this has already been done.
    3. Renew kitchens - this is how you change used worktops

    Renewing kitchens can be accomplished with a few things, depending on your needs and tastes. …

  3. Now take the worktop off the kitchen and turn it over. Place the worktop on an object in such a way that you can also saw in the middle without breaking anything.
  4. Measure out the dimensions for the sink, stove, and other kitchen appliances. Make sure that the dimensions are a little smaller on your worktop, otherwise parts such as the stove and so on will simply fall through. Normally one takes about 2 cm less than from the measured devices.
  5. Draw the dimensions on the "back surface" of the worktop and drill a hole at the corners with a wood drill. You should drill very slowly and without applying force.
  6. You can saw out the surface in the drilled holes with the jigsaw and seal it with polyurethane-containing silicone. This ensures that there is no moisture in the wood and then swell it up.
  7. You bring them now Fittings and fasten everything sufficiently. Place the worktop on the kitchen and screw both together.
