Installation and Sink Options
Installation made easy
Our Encore range offers a comprehensive choice of components, sink styles, installation materials and after care products. These are designed to make the installation process fast and easy on site, allowing you to enjoy your Encore worktops from the moment they go in. After that, our care and maintenance products are all you need to keep them looking lovely.
Installation & materials
Whilst Encore is easy to install, it is not a DIY product and should always be fitted by an experienced installer. As not all solid surface products are the same, to guarantee a professional finish, we recommend that the installer has attended one of our training courses on Encore. Please ask your kitchen retailer about this.
Installation kit
For every installation, it is essential that the installer uses a Bushboard Installation Kit, along with our bespoke Encore colour-matched adhesive for bonding, jointing and sealing.
Jigs for sinks & radius ends
When installing any of the undermount sinks which are available with Encore, it is essential to use our specially developed jig to ensure a professional installation every time. Other jig systems are not compatible with Encore. Jigs for drainer patterns are also available allowing you to complement your chosen sink style.
To form curved corners for furniture runs or island units, we supply a radius jig which is suitable for a 230mm, 300mm, 400mm and 450mm radii.
Encore colour-matched adhesive
Encore colour-matched adhesive is supplied in 50ml cartridges and we recommend the following usage guidelines:
- 1 cartridge per 2 joints
- 1 cartridge per 2 x 650mm end caps
- 1 cartridge per radius end
- 1 cartridge per slab end, where a mitred, seamless joint is required
If an overlap joint is used for a slab end BB Complete is the required adhesive
Comprehensive information for all necessary tools and materials required, along with full installation instructions are available in every installation kit and from our website or Customer Service Team. Your installer must read these prior to installation.
