Recommendations for Solid Grade Laminate (SGL)
• Pilot hole diameters for screw fixing to SGL to be
0.5mm less than diameter of screw.
Generally; • No 6 screw - 3.5mm
• No 8 screw - 4mm
• No 10 screw - 4.5mm
• No 12 screw - 5mm
• ALL pilot hole diameters should be screw tested
before finalising.
Cut-Outs
• Square cut-outs:
Drill four corners (at least a 10mm diameter hole),
start from one of the holes, use a jigsaw with metal
cutting blade, cut the holes & square into the
corners. Finish with metal file (semi-soft), ensure all
sharp arrises are removed to avoid injury.
• Oval or circular cut-outs:
E.g, cutting a basin hole into a vanity top. Drill one
10mm diameter hole, start from the hole, cut
according to template, use a jigsaw with metal
cutting blade. Finish with metal file (semi-soft),
ensure all sharp arrises are removed to avoid injury.
Resizing & re-edging previously finished panels
• We recommend the panel is cut as previously
described, trim to size using a ‘TREND’ sunk bead
router cutter running at 18,000 to 22,000 rpm, finish
with 300 grit sand paper.
• Polish as described below.
Finish edges
• To eliminate machine-cutting imperfections at
edges, sand with 300 grit sand paper to fine finish.
• To obtain darker edges, rub edge with cloth soaked
in linseed oil or wax. Leave to dry for 30 minutes &
wipe off.
• Sharp edges must be smoothed to avoid injury.
Machining
• Use tungsten carbide tipped blades/cutters or metal
cutting tools.
Cutting
• For a clean cut, use carbide tipped saw blades with
trapezoidal & as many teeth as possible or jigsaw
with metal cutting blade.
• Alternating teeth may be suitable, but the cut will
not be as clean.
• For best results, use horizontally fixed saws.
Precision Cutting
• A clean edge without flaking can be obtained.
• For best quality cut:
1. Saw the panel slightly oversize
2. Re-cut edge to precise measurement using a
tungsten carbide tipped router cutter of required
profile at 18,000 to 22,000 rpm.
Grooving
• SGL can be grooved; use a saw blade or router
cutter with tungsten carbide tips.
• Groove depth must not exceed 1/3 of SGL
thickness.
Drilling
• For best results use carbide bits with 3 prongs
(helicoidal bits) in preference to high-speed steel
drills.
• Holes can be drilled through part or whole of
thickness
• For stopped holes, minimum thickness of 1.5mm to
2mm of laminate must remain (maximum depth of
hole = 11mm). Minimum of 1mm space must remain
between tenon, screw tip or insert & bottom of hole
(otherwise, risk of laminate cracking when fitting)

Introduction
Secure Fixing
It is vital that the structural integrity of walls, ceilings
and floors is capable of taking the dynamic and static
loads imposed by the fixings to support the product.
Insufficient structural integrity will invalidate
guarantees and cause product instability.
The surfaces being fixed into should be firm and
stable, without deflection and have good fixing
retention properties over the length and width of the
bearing surface.
Particular care should be taken with studwork walls
and suspended ceilings which will usually require the
inclusion of a pattress to sufficiently strengthen the
structure.
Poor security of fixings will compromise performance
and could lead to failure of the product.
Screws and Fixings supplied to fix components to the
floor or wall structural material should be tested to
ensure they are suited and have sufficient holding
power to accept the static and dynamic loads
required to support our products. Due to the
multitude of floor and wall constructions, it should not
be assumed that the fixings supplied are suitable for
all installations. If you are uncertain contact your
local specialist fastening supplier.
Do NOT overtighten fasteners, if using power drivers
make sure that the torque settings are correct.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Please consult our cleaning & maintenance guide.
Panel Storage & Conditioning
• To ensure panels and doors remain flat ambient
site conditions must be stable prior to delivery.
Variable temperature and humidity can cause panels
to bow and twist irreversibly.
• Before, during and after installation, temperature
and humidity must be maintained between 18 - 25˚C.
• Panels should not be stored outside or in areas
where they may be exposed to water or humidity.
• Wet trades and forced-drying procedures should be
complete and the building fully dried out.
• Use supports and spacers to elevate panels off the
floor and keep space between panels; air must be
able to circulate around each panel evenly.
• The ideal base is a slatted pallet with base board;
however, if these are not available, panels should be
carefully stacked on bearers suitably spaced to
maintain flatness. Spacing of bearers should not
exceed 400mm.
• Avoid storage conditions where extremes of
temperature and humidity can occur.
• Panels must be allowed to equalise to levels
approximating to those that will prevail during
building use.
• BS EN438 recommendations should be adhered to:
Temperature – 18 to 25˚C
Air humidity – 40 to 60%
BS 4965 Flatness: Flatness to BS 4965 can only be
guaranteed at the time of delivery.
