I am about to fit a new kitchen in an old house and the location where the sink will be fitted has a shallow bay window about 150 mm deep. I want the work top to continue into the bay. I was thinking of adding a piece of the same top and joining it with biscuits and glue, but I am concerned that over time the water from the sink will cause the joint to fail and the surface to expand. How do the professionals do this ?
Use a wider worktop and notch it out either side of the bay to clear the walls. Probably have to be a 900 DPF edge one. Jason
I thought about a wider top but it sounds like a really exoensive option and I will be throwing away 99% of the extra width . Plus I am not sure a wide bar type piece will be available in the same long length, but thanks for the reply
Its also v. important to check that a wide one like that at that length can be got into the kitchen. Shedmen
If you can get away with a 900 then do it, it will be a much better solution than using a joint and it's less than £100 extra if you're using Duropal/Axiom/Getalit or any other good laminate worktop brand.
or you can just seal it properly and bolt it together. What? end of, as far as i can see. no worries geeza
