How to fit laminate worktop edging strips

Don’t forget to order Duropal edging strip with your Duropal worktops or breakfast bar purchase.

Our Prima, Omega, Odyssey and Axiom worktops and breakfast bars are supplied with a half length of edging strip included with each worktop or breakfast bar. Duropal, however, is supplied differently. Duropal worktops and breakfast bars are sold without these edging strips. They are available separately as a 4.1m roll of matching laminate strip.

If you intend to cut your Duropal worktops or breakfast bars to length, this will expose the chipboard core and you will need to purchase Duropal laminate edging strip to glue on to protect the edge of the worktop from moisture ingress.

Glue them in place with impact adhesive such as Evostik Time Bond, then trim to the worktop or breakfast bar profile using block plane, file and final finishing (carefully) with 120 grit aluminium oxide paper wrapped around a sanding block. Or, you might be lucky enough to own an electric laminate trimmer which makes a neat finish very quickly.
