U Shaped Kitchen Worktop Joining Advice

[hoppaz]

Hi I am looking for a little advice on my worktops as I am about to begin installing a new (small) "U" shaped kitchen.

The plan is to install all of the units and as I do not have a router get a joiner in to fit and join the worktops.

My question is more to do with the best looking way to fit a walnut "planked" wood style worktop in a U shaped kitchen so the planked wood effect looks good. How would others on here approach this (or have approached it in the past)?

Hi there,

If you plan to continue fitting worktops then your best bet for a good looking finish would be to get a router and a jig.
Should be able to pick one of these up from Screwfix.

If not, then you can get someone in to do it for you at approx £120.

If neither of these are an option, then you can buy joins from the usual retailers and finish with straight joins. However, this does not look a clean enough finish.

Regards,
JR

a decent fitter will only be able to tell you that , if his scribes are good worktop will look good.
