hi all just new to forum. having worked on sites mostly on 2nd fix work i am going to go full time into kitchens
1 question to ask, when fitting a corner appliance housing do my 2 return worktops just butt against the corner worktop at
90deg or have they to be cut at 22.5deg or do they have to be mason mitred the same as an ordinary joint ithink this is called
a corner solution

Welcome to the forum,
This is a subject
I haven’t yet covered in the articles and although it is rarely used in kitchen designs because of it’s poor use of space it
still holds an aesthetic attraction for some.
Many worktop jigs have a mitreing facility for a corner solution in
addition to clear instruction to the procedure to undertake to perform the task.
A corner solution renders the use of a
900mm double postform
worksurface to be fitted across the corner at 45 degrees. As 900mm is the deepest wirth available,
the rear edge of the worktop is too shallow to fit into the corner and will require a triangular worktop section to overcome
this in a butt joint configuration.
Prior to fitting however the rear postform will have to be cut off leaving you with a
depth of 885mm. As an alternative I have in the past forsaken the butt joint by creating a raised triangular shelf which
proved useful
Mitres are formed similarly as to a 90 degree joint but for this design the jig employs a softer
radius.
Without advertising their wares there are two commonplace jigs that spring to mind that have this facility with
clear instruction and I will e-mail details to you.
Let us know how you go on here prw,
Tim
