FAQs
What tools do I need to install the joining strip?
You'll need a measuring tape, saw (for cutting the strip and possibly the worktops), drill and screwdriver, and appropriate fasteners (screws).
Can I use this strip with different worktop materials?
Yes, but ensure your worktop material is compatible with the fastening methods you use. Consider pre-drilling holes to prevent splitting.
How do I cut the joining strip to the correct length?
Measure the gap between your worktops and carefully cut the strip to match, using a fine-tooth saw or cutting tool.
What if the Matt Gold finish gets scratched?
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out. For deeper scratches, you may need to consider a touch-up paint or replacement.
Is the strip suitable for wet areas?
While the aluminium is resistant to rust, ensure proper sealing of the worktop edges to prevent water damage.
How do I clean the joining strip?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Joint is not flush.
Check the alignment of the worktops and ensure they are level. Re-adjust the strip and fasteners as needed.
Strip is difficult to cut.
Use a fine-tooth saw or appropriate cutting tool for aluminum. Ensure the blade is sharp and apply even pressure.
Fasteners do not hold securely.
Ensure the correct size and type of fasteners are used. Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in harder worktop materials.
