Dekton DWRG01 Kitchen Worktop
This reference guide is designed to give key information on planning &
installation for Dekton worktops.
Note: Do not drag ceramics and glassware across the surface of the
worktop to avoid marking.
Unsupported spans
Support bars are required if over 575mm
IMPORTANT: No joints in the worktops should be over unsupported spans or
in a cut-out area
Positioning
As best practice, never fit a worktop between two wall sections.
Note: Plan where joints will sit about decor patterns.
Support
Where unsupported spans exceed the maximum span of a support bar, a decor end
can be used to bridge the gap. e.g where appliances are fitted. support bars
are still required over spans of 575mm.
Hob positioning
Note
Always refer to the appliance guidelines for confirmation on minimum
spacing requirements. The distance between the back of the hob to the next
hard surface (if the material is Dekton) must be 80mm min (Gas hob) & 30mm min
(Ceramic/Induction hob).
Cut-outs
Dekton worktops require specific minimum measurements for cut-outs. See the
illustrations below for guidance. We recommend that cut-outs or tap holes be
slightly chamfered.
Note: In all applications, always follow the appliance/sink cut-out guide
for other key dimensions specific to that product.
End of a run
Always try to finish a run with a cabinet. Where a single panel is being used,
additional support with a wooden batten is required along with a metal support
bar.
Product overhangs
- Minimum general cut-out principles for cut-outs in all island applications – dimensions to the edge of the cabinet
Visual
Dekton is a product made using natural materials. Consider how patterns might
run through joints when planning sections/where joints are required.
Note: Dry fit tops first.
LED lighting
LED lighting should not be recessed into the underside of the Dekton worktop on an overhang, as this can weaken the worktop.
