Need Help Finding Your Worktop Weight?
Whether you are choosing our solid wood or laminate worktops, you will need to consider how heavy your selection is. The worktop weight differs for each individual product, but most weigh between 35 and 85kg. This means you will need sturdy support and the resources to lift the surfaces into place. Read on for more information, and where to find the weight of our products.
Strong Supports
You will need to be confident that your kitchen carcass can support your new worktop. Whether you are replacing the whole kitchen including the cabinets and carcass or retaining your existing setup, the supports should be more than capable of upholding the worktop properly. However, it is best to double-check and to ensure that the worktop will be supported in the right places, as incorrect support can lead to your worktop bowing and becoming misshaped.

Lifting the Worktop Into Place
Whichever delivery service you choose, you will need to lift the worktops into place during the installation process. As these worktops are very heavy, do not try to lift them unassisted. Straining to pick up a long, weighty item like this can cause serious injury.
