Care & Maintenance
In kitchens where temperatures can be either very cold (unoccupied site ) or very humid then the level of maintenance required is greater, especially in the immediate days / weeks after installation. In these cases extra coats of worksurface sealant will be necessary to prevent drying out and warping.
Wood Care Kit
Now from Sheridan, a care kit that is a necessity for every work surface. It includes everything you need to keep your worktop in first class condition.
A Care Kit will be sent out with every worktop order, the cost will be shown on all our quotations and invoices.
Contents of the Kit
1 tin of 375ml Ultra Worksurface Sealant, 1 spray tin of 400ml of Ultra Fresh, 1 tube silicone sealant, 2 pieces of aluminium Foil, 1 pair of disposable gloves, 2 lint free Cloths, 1 Sanding Block, 1 sheet red scotchbrite, 1 sheet white scotchbrite, 1 sheet 180 grit sandpaper, 1 Sheet 240 grit sandpaper, 1 Care & Maintenance Booklet, 12 Angled steel brackets, 48 wood screws, 48 washers, 6 steel bolts.
Ultra Worksurface Sealant
Ultra Worksurface Sealant is ready to use straight from the tin. Please do not thin but stir thoroughly.
Ultra Worksurface Sealant should be used after a damaged area has been sanded.
Apply first coat thinly to sanded area and leave to dry over night (at least 8 - 10 hours) ensuring good ventilation.
Apply second coat to the face and all edges.
Apply one more coat to the face (3 in total) and when the final surface is thoroughly dry you can use the polishing pad to polish off the surface.
Please pay particular attention to the sink areas.
De - nib
This takes place after the second coat of Ultra Worksurface Sealant and helps to remove high spots and raised grain. 180 then 240 grit sandpaper is used to give a beautiful smooth finish. A lint free cloth or in some cases the white scotchbrite may be needed after the third coat.
Ultra Fresh
Specially formulated to freshen up and clean your worksurface, apply every 2 to 3 months, by simply sparingly spraying on your worksurface, then buffing with the lint free cloth provided.
Leaves no watermarks and is odourless when dry.
