FAQs
Can I place a hot pan directly on the worktop?
No, it is highly recommended to use a trivet or heat pad to protect the surface from thermal shock and heat damage.
How do I clean sticky residue?
Use a warm, soapy cloth. For persistent residue, use a non-abrasive household cleaner and wipe clean immediately.
Is the worktop waterproof?
It is moisture-resistant; however, standing water, especially at the joints or edges, can cause the core to swell.
Can I use abrasive sponges to remove stains?
No, abrasive sponges can scratch the decorative layer. Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush instead.
Does the worktop require regular oiling or waxing?
No, Wilsonart laminate is a non-porous material and does not require sealing, oiling, or waxing.
Can I cut directly on the surface?
You should always use a cutting board. Cutting directly on the laminate will leave permanent scratch marks.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears dull or streaky
Clean with a mild, non-abrasive detergent and buff dry with a soft, clean microfiber cloth.
Water pooling near the sink area
Check the silicone seal and re-apply a waterproof sealant if there are gaps or signs of deterioration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade to ensure chip-free edges. It is essential to use high-quality, moisture-resistant silicone sealant at all cut edges, such as where the sink meets the worktop, to prevent water damage to the underlying core. For daily care, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the laminate surface over time. If a spill occurs, wipe it up immediately to prevent liquid from settling into the seams.
