Kitchen Fitting
Supporting worktop when joining at 90 degree angle help!
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.17 PM
Missus instructed me to take out 500mm base unit to fit washing machine in to instead. No problem but now have 500mm worktop to fit over 600mm washing machine. Missus has no problem with the 100mm of washing machine showing, but how can i support the open end of the worktop? Worktop is 38mm chipboard laminate . The worktop we have is still available from wickes / travis perkins but it's £47 for 3m and i would only need a little more than 600mm and i would only have a 15mm gap from the washing machine to the cooker next to it. I've got the battening to the rear wall which will support the back of the worktop, was thinking if battening the underside of the worktop to the existing worktop would support the weight? Or is there an L bracket that would help, without the \ diagonal support as no room. I've seen the worktop joining bolts so could use these, but would they be substantial enough, perhaps with the battening on the underside they would? Any advice much appreciated
