StorageUpdated a year ago

After you received the worktop please ensure that  are completely re-wrapped after inspection and stored on completely flat and level surface, with bearers in between (this will allow the air to circulate between the worktops and prevent deflection). 


Do not store worktops vertically or on edges!


All worktops need to be kept inside your house in the same room where they will be installed (not in a garage or any other outbuilding) and windows and doors should be sealed. 

During storage (recommended 24 to 48 hrs, room humidity 60-65%, room temperature 20-23 degrees ), please make sure that they are kept well away from extreme heat (radiators, underfloor heating AGA’s and intense direct sunlight etc) and kept away from any moist areas (recently plastered walls, dump basements etc). 


All wet trades should be finished and a sufficient period of time allowed for natural drying out before storing hardwood worktops in the same room. Allow the worktop a day or so to adjust to the ambient temperature and humidity of its new surroundings prior to installation.


If you wish to store your worktops for a long period, you should turn them every other day with

heavy weight on top to prevent cupping or bowing.
