Installing your own countertop is an opportunity for
self-expression – and money savings. To help you do the job
efficiently and with style, we've listed all the essential
materials you will need, as well as nine simple steps for
installing your new countertop.
Here are some essentials for a typical L-shaped kitchen
countertop with a cutout for a sink or rangetop installation:
Countertop sections (order standard lengths). Your dealer
should be able to miter cut and machine the fastening-bolt
T-slots (underside of the joint).
Fastening bolts (for drawing miter joints tight).
Tube of sealant (for caulking joints).
End splash and/or end caps (kits, as required).
These should be available from your dealer.
Non-flammable contact adhesive (for fastening end caps,
unless kit has pre-applied adhesive for "iron-on" method).
White glue (for fastening "build-up" blocks).
