Butcher Block Installation Guide
1. Provide
as much level support as possible.
2. Do
not install if the block is rocking on the sub-surface.
3. Clean
sub-surface with alcohol to remove excess oil
or
dust before adhering.
4. Use high
quality 100% silicone as an adhesive and bed for the block.
5. Screws
should be used at the cardinal points of the top.
An oversized hole (5/8”) and fender washer (1/4”) may be used through
the cabinet top. This will allow the
block to expand and contract. Important
: Do not
screw the top down without
the ability to move.
This will cause cracking, splitting, and failure outside the warranty.
6. Seal
any dishwasher, under
counter oven, fridge compartment, or heated plenum, with a sheet metal cover so as to
keep out heat and steam.
7. At the splash: Do not grout down onto the countertop. Create a grout width line and fill with a flexible color matched caulk. This allows for future movement.
8. Give top a coat of Weiman's Furniture Cream (all natural) or Brooks Butcher Block Oil. Buff out to a high protective sheen.
9.
We have a three week production schedule. The top's finish is still fresh and
needs to cure and harden. Do not put weight and heavy use items on your top for
about a month.
Note: If we have packed and shipped a top to you, inspect the crate for damage before signing the shippers bill of lading .If any crate damage exists which might indicate that the top may be affected do not sign for the shipment . Insist on opening and inspecting before accepting the shipment or ask the truck man to return the shipment to us.
