FAQs

What material is the Ideal Standard I.life A Worktop made from?

The worktop is constructed from chipboard with a laminate finish.

What are the dimensions of this worktop?

The worktop measures 60.2cm in length.

Can I cut this worktop to a different size?

Yes, this worktop can be cut to size using appropriate tools for wood-based materials. Remember to seal all cut edges.

Is the carbon grey wood effect finish waterproof?

The laminate surface is designed to be water-resistant and easy to wipe clean. However, the core chipboard material is not waterproof, so spills should be wiped up promptly, and cut edges must be sealed.

What type of edge does this worktop have?

This worktop features a square edge design.

How should I clean the worktop?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this worktop suitable for a kitchen?

While durable and wipe-clean, it is primarily designed for bathroom units or shelving. For kitchen use, where it may be exposed to more moisture and heat, a worktop specifically designed for kitchens would be recommended.

Troubleshooting

Worktop appears uneven after installation

Check that the supporting structure underneath is level and securely fastened. Ensure the worktop itself is not warped by checking with a spirit level. Adjust fixings or support as needed.

Water marks or stains are visible

Clean the surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner might be required. Ensure all spills are wiped up immediately in the future. Check if cut edges are properly sealed.

Edge finish is peeling or lifting

This may indicate a failure in the edge sealing. Minor lifting can sometimes be addressed with a suitable wood glue and clamp, but significant damage may require replacement of the affected section or the entire worktop. Ensure proper sealing during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This worktop is designed to be cut to specific sizes using appropriate tools for wood-based materials. Ensure all cut edges are properly sealed with a water-resistant sealant, especially when used in damp environments like bathrooms. Secure the worktop to its supporting structure (e.g., cabinet or brackets) using suitable fixings. Ensure the support structure is level and stable.

Compatibility: The worktop is compatible with standard bathroom vanity units and shelving support systems. It can be combined with various basin types, provided the installation allows for proper drainage and sealing. Its contemporary design pairs well with modern bathroom fixtures and fittings.

Care: Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the laminate finish. Immediately wipe up any spills, particularly water, to prevent absorption into the core material. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent solution and dry thoroughly afterwards.
