Just got my worktops and 1 is warped!

jonnywells

I just received my duropal worktops and after standing them up in the garage i have noticed 1 of them is a good inch and half warped in the middle (they are 4.1m tops)

I could not tell this as the 2 drivers took them off the van and layed them flat on my garage floor, it was only when i put them on there sides this was noticable.

I brought duropal tops because i understand they are about the best laminate you can get. Is this normal for worktops to warp abit or should i get getting on the ringer to the company i brought from?

You know the answer to that question.

I phoned the company (blingyourkitchen) and he said to lay them flat on top of each other for a couple days and it should fix it, else they would issue a replacement after the new year

Wanted to try and get kitchen done over n/y as well....suppose i can get the cabinets put in and just use old worktops for now

Store them flat on the floor and that should sort them out. if you store them the way they are in the picture they will also warp width ways.

I had 2x lengths of the same wortop and stored upright exactly the same as yours for a couple of months. Mine bent worse than yours in the middle, but were absolutely fine when fitted. I guess it's due to them being very long, when standing upright they will bend a bit in the middle. When I layed them flat prior to fitting, they were fine. Hope this reassures you.

I often fit worktops, an many are like that when they come. once there lay'd flat the weight of them straightens them out & if they are any cutouts in the piece this helps loads once cut out. I really wouldn't worry about them an go ahead an fit them. If there is still a bit of bend in them when they are joined together, when you screw them down to the units it will get rid of any bend.
