Hello, we are massive DIY amateurs having just moved into our first house with our young family. we would just would like a bit of advice on worktops. We are 'simply' looking to replace the worktops on our existing kitchen and have few things we are unsure of. 1. firstly we are not replacing the tiles. the tiles have been laid to sit 'on top' of the worktop. are we right in thinking we should stick to a 28mm thickness as per what is there now to make things easier? will the tiles get damaged when we remove the old worktop? 2. the worktop we like is from ikea. it's 625mm deep whereas our kitchen is a standard fit, with a 600mm worktop currently in place. Will this be too big an overhang? 3. if we go for the 625mm ikea worktop, is our oven (free standing with electric hob) going to look odd as the worktops each side will be sticking out quite a bit. At the moment they are kinda flush. I could pull the oven out slightly so that it is level with the new worktops but this would create a small gap between the oven and the wall??? Actually fitting the worktops doesn't seem to be overwhelming as its a galley kitchen with three straight disconnected areas of workspace. there are only two straight cuts needed (and the sink which comes with a guide). help?? Thanks ! I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: https://community.screwfix.com/threads/kitchen-worktop-overhang7845.// Education loan video |
