Hi all. I'm fitting a kitchen worktop above a washer and dryer with a wall either side. What's the best way to secure the worktop to the walls as there will be no units for it to sit on. Thanks in advance
Screw a wooden batten onto the walls either side, and along the back if necessary, and plonk the worktop on them.
Yeah, what Dr Bodgit said. But if your available space is too tight for battens, you could use these instead: http://www.screwfix.com/p/large-angle-shrinkages-zinc-plated-48-x-25-x-1-6mm-10-pack/43326
Putting 6" battens around the wall area to support the worktop would be a good idea. It'll support the worktop while you put the wall fixings on and make sure it is level. If the battens are in the way, simply remove them after installing.
Or if you could be adventurous and try these on the back wall And brackets just on the front edge Depending on your work top surface you may have to seal the underside especially with the moisture from the machines
