I’m fitting an oak worktop in a utility room I’ve made. I’ve not fitted an oak worktop before (used cheap laminate in the garage).
I’ve had it pre-cut so it will just drop straight in. I’m going to leave 3-4 mm clearance at the left side and along the back edge for growth.
I’ve got some slots bracket to fix the worktop to the cabinets. I’ll probably screw through the cabinet frame with some oversized clearance holes and washers as advised to add extra fixtures.
I was thinking of applying some sealant, maybe in the corners underneath the worktop and along the back edge. Mainly due to my suspicion that I haven’t got everything perfectly level and it will help it sit on the units/frame.
Is there anything wrong with this approach?
