Key Tips
- If your walls are out of square, you may need to plane down some edges of the benchtop slightly
- If you have a join in your benchtop, your benchtops will come with benchtop connectors, and the benchtop joiner provisions pre-drilled
- If you are adding a splashback, the benchtop can simply butt up against the wall, and the installation of the splashbask will create a seal
- If the benchtop is remaining butting against a wall only, use silicon along the back edge to create a seal
