Granite Worktop Colour Bands

Joins

Apollo Granite®  joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge. Silicone sealant is applied to prevent water ingression.

Tolerance

Tolerance in Apollo Granite® is ±2mm

Thermal expansion

Due to thermal expansion Apollo Granite® can expand up to 1mm per metre. A gap of at least 3mm should be left at each end of the worktop when fitted and filled with decorators caulk. When Apollo Granite® is joined to other materials (such as glass, steel or wood) an elastic type of adhesive, for example polyurethane, is required for expansion.

Any overhang extending more than 300mm must be supported.
