Acrylic worktop

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.04 PM

Hi I have purchased an Ikea acrylic worktop for my kitchen island, how is this fastened in place, screws or silicone? Thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hello, Acrylic or stone worktops should be fitted with the clear silicone. Most popular is: Everbuild Everflex 310ml Frame Sealant Regards. Tafix Ltd.

For those tops I would just spot silicon in each corner and leave over night,that should be fine then.

Screw it from underneath would hold it best

This will be silicone into place and clamped into place or weighted down until silicone has cured

silicone. unless you have some really strong glue like Araldite or something along that line attach wood, plastic clip or bracket to worktop and them screw worktop through in to base unit this way you will be able to remove the worktop if you ever need to. pete

A silcone sealant would be suitable to hold this work surface in place. No need for screw fixings.
