🛠️ Structural Integrity Comes First:
Recent Kitchen Renovation Update
When planning a high-end kitchen renovation—especially one featuring heavy quartz worktops weighing up to 500 kg—ensuring the underlying floor structure is solid isn't just important; it's essential.
During a recent project, we uncovered a severely compromised and structurally unstable subfloor. Instead of proper support, the previous installation relied on plastic packers and freestanding stones held up without cement.
Our team immediately stepped in to put things right before installing any new cabinetry or worktops:
Complete Removal: We safely stripped out the inadequate timber and unstable makeshift supports.
Upgraded Framework: We replaced the old 6-inch timber with robust 10-inch wall plates and 8-inch joists.
Heavy-Duty Anchoring: Joists were securely tied to the wall using M10 threaded bars, nuts, washers, and high-strength chemical anchor resin, paired with professional jiffy hangers.
Maximum Stability: We added two extra 6-inch timbers running underneath for ultimate load-bearing capacity, securely seated on solid concrete pads.
By refusing to cut corners, we’ve ensured this new kitchen has a rock-solid foundation that will last for decades to come.
