      How are Minerva work surfaces installed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Minerva easy to fit system makes installation simple, but needs to be undertaken by competent kitchen installers. as. Worktops can be installed using standard wood working equipment and they are supplied with pre-finished surfaces and edges. Consequently there is no need for expensive and time consuming templating usually associated with solid surface products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Your kitchen fitter will be able achieve seamless joints and profiles for the complete \u2018solid surface finish\u2019.  It cannot be stressed too highly that the final finish is highly reliant on the skill of the installer. For that reason you should establish that your kitchen fitter is familiar with the product and has fitted it previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
