How to Install a Post-form Countertop 03

Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation : How to Install a Post-form Countertop 03



Hold the endcap laminate against the end, slightly overlapping the edges. Activate adhesive by pressing an
iron set at medium heat against the endcap. Cool with a wet cloth, then file the endcap laminate flush with the
edges of the countertop.


Position the countertop on the base cabinets. Make sure the front edge of the countertop is parallel to the cabinet faces. Check the countertop for level. Make sure that drawers and doors open and close freely. If needed, adjust the countertop with shims.


Because walls are usually uneven, use a compass to trace the wall outline onto the backsplash. Set the compass arms to match the widest gap, then move the compass along the length of the wall to transfer the outline to the top of the backsplash. Apply painter’s tape to the top edge of the backsplash, following the scribe line (inset).


Remove the countertop. Use a belt sander to grind the backsplash to the scribe line.
