Processing instructions
EGGER eurolight® worktops

With EUROLIGHT® worktops EGGER is offering a new generation of worktops. Using EUROLIGHT® lightweight boards as a core material,
the worktops meet the modern design requirement for thicker worktops. A further advantage is the low weight, as well as the guarantee
that even these lightweight worktops are compliant with all quality features compared with conventional worktops. Whatever they
encounter on a daily basis, the surfaces will retain their high performance characteristics providing that you follow our recommendations
on processing and assembly very closely. The following instructions are for a kitchen work surface.

1. Description of the material

EUROLIGHT® worktops are composite elements consisting of E1 EUROLIGHT® lightweight boards, with the surface and/or profiles being
seamlessly laminated with decorative EGGER laminate. The utilisation rate of a worktop is basically determined by the laminate properties,
such as abrasion resistance, impact resistance and scratch resistance. The reverse side of the worktop is finished as standard with a
moisture-resistant balancer paper (GZP). To protect against moisture, the underside of the worktop in various models – example model
300/3 – has a standard PU-hot-melt adhesive coating.

2. Processing

2.1 Handling
Check the EUROLIGHT® worktop for obvious damage after removing the packaging. Anyone involved in transporting the worktops should
wear personal safety gear (safety shoes, gloves, suitable work wear, etc.).

2.2 Cutting
The worktops can be cut to size using standard woodworking equipment, e.g. panel saws, bench circular saws, hand-held circular saws
or jigsaws and also CNC routers. Panel saws or bench circular saws are generally used to cut the worktops to size. A good cutting result
depends on different factors including whether the decor side is facing upwards, saw blade projection, feed rate, tooth shape, tooth
spacing, motor speed and cutting speed. Example: Circular saw

Cutting speed: approximately 40 to 60 m/sec.

Motor speed: approximately 3,000 to 4,000 rpm.
Feed rate: maximum 10 m/min (manual feed)

With the exception of panel saws and CNC routers, all cutting involves manual feed. The high-quality melamine resin used for the
surface of the EGGER laminate means that the tool wear is considerably greater than with normal melamine resins. We recommend that
you use carbide metal-tipped or even diamond-tipped saws or router bits. Use the following tooth shapes depending on the standard of
finish you require (coarse or fine cut):

Flat tooth Alternating tooth Duplovit tooth Duplovit tooth Roof Duplovit tooth Trapezoidal
concave tooth chest with bevel flat tooth

A cutting guide rail should be used when using manual circular saws or jigsaws. The cutting must be performed from the underside of
the board.

Processing instructions eurolight® Worktops

2.3 Edging with EGGER ABS Edging

We recommend finishing the end or transverse edge of the worktop with 43 x 1.5 mm, 54 x 2 mm or 64 x 2 mm EGGER ABS Edging. These
decorative edges have a protective and a design function for the finishing of worktops. We recommend EGGER Universal Glue or a
contact adhesive for bonding the ABS Edging by hand. The glue should be applied evenly to a clean and dust-free chipboard edge using
a paint brush. Then the ABS Edging is pressed on with an edge press, gluing press or screw clamps using a rigid underlay, ensuring that
there is sufficient overhang of edging on both the face and the underside of the worktop.

Please observe the specifications of the glue and adhesive manufacturer.

We recommend using edge routing tools or special cutting blades for the finishing of ABS edges. Any further finishing which is required
can be done with a draw blade to even out possible irregularities from routing. The edges are then buffed in order to remove any dirt and
to create an edge profile. The use of matching melamine edging or laminate requires a chipboard frame to be glued afterwards. This is
due to the low tension and shock resistance characteristics of the melamine edging and laminates

For further detailed information please refer to the “Finishing the edges of EUROLIGHT® worktops with ABS edging“ instructions.

2.4 Edge finishing with EUROLIGHT® decor profile

We have developed a new solution for the end or transverse edge finishing of EUROLIGHT® worktops for the EUROLIGHT® worktops stock
range. The EUROLIGHT® decor profile is designed for a worktop thickness of 60 mm and available from stock with 15 decors. The profile
allows for quick and easy edge finishing. The decor profile is based on the T-profile principle, except for the front side of the decor profile
which is covered with a PP edge of a matching decor (see illustration 1). The profile matches the base colour of the PP edge in terms of
colour and covers the entire worktop thickness. Processing is similar to the T-profile and the ABS edges respectively and is only slightly
different.

For further detailed information please refer to the “Finishing the edges of EUROLIGHT® worktops with the EUROLIGHT® decor profile”
instructions.

2.5 Cut-outs
For these areas in particular, the EUROLIGHT® T-profile has been developed especially for EUROLIGHT® worktops. The necessary pressure
stability is achieved via this profile by matching to standard thicknesses of 38, 40 and 60 mm. Before processing, ensure that the
worktop is supported securely and that sawing, routing or drilling is not likely to cause any damage. In particular, narrow joining areas
in the board can break or crack if the board is inappropriately handled during processing. The board cut-outs should also be secured to
ensure that they not suddenly fall out or break. This could injure persons or property.

Oven and sink cut-out edges should be rounded because cracks can form in sharp edges (see illustration 2). This applies particularly to
the hob area. The frequent exposure to heat in these areas causes the laminate to dry out and the shrinking tension is therefore much
greater.

Always read through the instructions and use the assembly templates provided by the manufacturers.
6/51
 Processing instructions eurolight® Worktops

The cut-outs should preferably be produced using a hand-held or CNC router. If using a jigsaw you need to pre-drill the corners to the
biggest possible radius and saw from radius to radius. You should cut from the underside of the board to prevent the laminate coating
from ripping off. Finish off the cut edges with sandpaper, files or hand-held routers to remove chips and prevent cracking.

2.6 EUROLIGHT® T-profile Processing Instructions

The EUROLIGHT® T-Profiles are a necessary accessory for EUROLIGHT® Worktops and were specially developed for sink and hob cut-outs.
The two right angled profiles of the T-profiles are slotted between the 8 mm surface layers of the worktops (see illustration 3). The
T-profiles not only protect sink and hob cut-outs from heat and moisture, they also guarantee the necessary pressure stability. In the
area around hob cut-outs, a self-adhesive aluminium tape should also be applied to provide additional protection against heat radiation
to the T-profile. The profiles are matched to the EUROLIGHT® Worktops standard thicknesses of 38, 50 and 60 mm.

2.7 Sealing edges, cut-outs and drilled holes

EUROLIGHT® worktops are effectively protected from moisture penetration by the laminate surface. Moisture and damp can still reach
the core material, however, via unprotected edges such as cut-outs, corner joints, mitres, long back edges, drill holes, screw holes and
fixtures. Moisture can cause unprotected edges worktops to swell near oven or sink cut-outs! For bonding EUROLIGHT® T-Profile, we
recommend EGGER Universal Glue, which should be applied to both sides (see illustration 5). As the profile will move back by approximately
1 mm with respect to the worktop thicknesses (see table), unprotected areas must be subsequently sealed.

These exposed areas must be sealed at the final installation stage.

Please find more detailed information in the “EGGER Universal Glue” leaflet.

The best products for sealing worktops have been found to be sealing profile and self-curing sealants such as silicon rubber,
polyurethane and acrylic. When using sealants you must also use a primer; either one that forms a film or a cleaning primer depending
on the material.

You must follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when using these materials.

It is absolutely essential that you clean the areas you are sealing and to allow the manufacturer’s specified venting time when using
primer. Apply the sealant leaving no gaps or holes and the smooth over with water and detergent. Mask off areas near joints to prevent
the surface from becoming dirty. Any pipes or leads running through the worktop should be centred with a minimum distance of 2 to 3
mm on either side and carefully sealed (see illustration 6).

Illustration 6

Cut edges can also be sealed using a two-part lacquer or two-part adhesive. Manufacturers supply sealing rings, profiles or collars with
attachments such as mixer taps, sinks and hobs. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when fitting these items.

8/51
Processing instructions eurolight® Worktops

2.8 Positioning and fitting sinks and hobs

Cut-outs for hobs or sinks must be produced according to the measurements and positioning details and/or using templates supplied
by the manufacturer. The cut edges must be carefully protected against moisture according to no. 2.6. Accompanying or integrated dry
seals and fastening screws provided by the manufacturer must be used according to their assembly instructions. In general, the fastening
screws must be designed for a worktop thickness of 38 mm, and for this purpose EGGER has developed the EUROLIGHT® sink installation
adapter. The adapter can be used for many sink brands and the adapters and fastening screws are assembled by simply inserting them
into each other (see illustration 7).

Illustration 7

The fastening screws shown in illustration 7 are typcial, expecially for sinks. Attachment rails or fixing brackets to opposing screws can
be screwed directly onto the EUROLIGHT® T-profile. For any type of hobs — stainless steel, glass ceramics — the cut-outs should in all
cases be made according to the instructions and installation templates supplied by the manufacturer.

Please refer to the instructions for “EUROLIGHT® worktops hob installation” for the detailed instruction of the individual steps in
installing hobs.

Ensure correct centring and an adequate safety margin to the cut edge, particularly for hobs. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The hub must not abut against the surface for safety reasons, as elevated temperatures are possible in the event of a malfunction.
The worktop should not measure less than 50 mm at any one place. For ergonomic reasons the distance between the hob area and an
upright cupboard should not be less than 300 mm. Allow for the hob manufacturer’s specified safety margin. The same distance is
recommended for the gap between the sink and the hob (see illustration 8).

Illustration 8

For safety reasons as much as for ergonomic reasons, kitchen designs should be discussed with a kitchen specialist and fitting carried
out by an authorised specialist. Particularly electricity, gas and water supply connections must be carried out by trained specialists.
In the region of corner connections, a minimum distance of 300 mm must be taken into account during planning (see illustration 9).

9/51
Processing instructions eurolight® Worktops

Illustration 9

Once the sections have been implemented in the worktops, any further transportation must be carried out while observing the utmost
caution as to prevent “snapping at thin points”. Worktops should be carried upright because cut-outs can be damaged more easily if the
boards are carried horizontally.

2.9 Worktop joints and corner joints

In general EUROLIGHT® worktops can span distances of 3,050 mm to 5,600 mm without joints, and boards need rarely be joined end to
end. However, they are frequently joined at corners. These should not be weakened by notches or cut-outs such as for hobs or sinks
(see illustration 9). Corner joints on worktops are made by mitring on the circular saw or routing using CNC routers and/or especially
using hand-held routers with the aid of templates (see illustrations 10 and 11).

Illustration 10 Illustration 11

To be able to implement EUROLIGHT® worktops with a thickness ≥ 50 mm using milling templates we have developed the EGGER milling
template as well as a matching hand-held router bit in cooperation with the LEUCO company (see illustrations 12 and 13).

Illustration 12 Illustration 13

10/51
 Processing instructions eurolight® Worktops

Worktop corner connections can be easily made using the EGGER milling template and commercial hand-held router bits and end milling
cutters. The milling template may either be used for EUROSPAN® worktops (chipboard core) or EUROLIGHT® worktops (lightweight
cardboard honeycomb core). In addition to milling corner connections (contour milling) you can also use the template to make the
required millings for the worktop connectors.

Please find more detailed information regarding the operation of the EGGER template in the operating instructions of ”EGGER template“.
We would be glad to provide you with more information on the LEUCO router bits.

Worktop joints and corners need to fit perfectly and be completely sealed, and not just for aesthetic reasons. They need to repel any
moisture which can cause swelling of the chipboard. The individual worktops are attached using the specially developed EUROLIGHT®
worktop connectors (see illustrations 14 and 15) or the EUROLIGHT® worktop connectors type M (see illustrations 16 and 17) plus
additional adhesion.

of EUROLIGHT® worktop connectors used must be the same as shown in illustration 14 or implemented depending on the worktop width.
Taking into account adhesive curing and the fastening tension, height levelling is possible via the EUROLIGHT® worktop connectors.

boards. The necessary routing work within the worktop to integrate the fitting is also simple to achieve. The worktop connectors type M are
only available in the length of 150 mm as well as also matched to the thickness range of 38, 50 and 60. Please refer to illustration 17 for the

The following work stages should be observed when executing worktop corner joints:

a.) Remove any wood chips near the cut or milled edges with sand paper (grade 120).
The same is true for the chips or loose parts located in the honeycomb layer.

b.) Bevel the laminate slightly along the joint with a sanding sponge or sandpaper (grade 360).

c.) Lay the worktops on the cupboard framework and check the joints and fitting holes for correct fit.

d.) Apply glue, D3 quality, to the central and lower area of the joint.

e.) Apply sealant (e.g. Helmipur SH 100) evenly and continuously to the top routed or cut edge and to the profile and long
back edge. You should do this just before screwing the worktop connectors in place.

f.) Join worktops, insert fittings and tighten screws slightly. Align worktops horizontally and vertically. Tighten worktop
connectors fingertight after aligning. When tightening, you must check that the two worktop surfaces remain aligned and
the sealant emerges on all sides. Do not place any stress on the worktops while the sealant is hardening.

g.) Remove excess sealant immediately. Clean the worktop surface using a suitable cleaning agent such as citrus cleaner or
acetone. Caution: Acetone can affect the surface if left for a long period. We therefore recommend masking off the joint area
with masking tape.

Processing instructions eurolight® Worktops

3. Wall connection and anchoring

Before sealing the long edge of the worktop against a wall, make sure that it is not just adequately supported but is also joined to the
sub-frame. Stresses can otherwise occur that will interfere with the sealing joint. When fitting, make sure that the worktop is not tilted
towards the wall. This will result in water collecting at the joint area. Clean and degrease around the sealant area on both the worktop as
well as the wall joint and pre-treat with a bonding agent depending on the sealant used.

Even if using Worktop-Wall Profiles, you need to seal the long back edge and all transverse edges which abut to a wall with sealant (see
illustration 18). When attaching the basic Worktop-Wall Profile, ensure that the laminate is predrilled in the screw fastening area. The
holes must be at least 1 mm larger than the screw diameter to prevent stresses building up in the material (see illustration 19). We also
recommend protecting the inside of the screw hole with sealant before screwing.

Illustration 18 Illustration 19

4. Structural water-repelling measures

Worktops are particularly subject to steam and heat near dishwashers and ovens. In addition to the lacquer coating and the PU hot-melt
adhesive coating you should also protect the underside of the worktop by structural means. Appliance manufacturers supply aluminium
repellent strip, which you must use. This moisture-repellent strip deflects and expels steam and heat (see illustrations 20 and 21).

Read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before assembling.

Illustration 20 Illustration 21

5. Maintenance and cleaning recommendations

Thanks to their resistant, hygienic and waterproof laminate surfaces, EUROLIGHT® worktops do not need special care. As a general rule
dirt and spilled substances such as tea, coffee, wine etc. should be cleaned immediately as the cleaning work increases if they are left to
dry. When necessary, cleaning should be done with non-aggressive agents. Cleaning agents must in particular not contain any abrasive
components, as they may adversely affect the gloss level or scratch the surface. Due to everything from light and fresh to severe and
stubborn stains being possible in daily use, and which are caused by the most varied substances, correct cleaning is an important matter.

EGGER TemplatE

With the help of the EGGER template as well as a standard, commercially available hand router and router bit, worktop joints can be
produced without problems. The template can be used with both EUROSPAN® Worktops (Chipboard core) and EUROLIGHT® Worktops
(Honeycomb core). In addition to the corner joints, the milling of the slots for the worktop connector bolts can also be done using the
template.

1. EGGER Template

Material: Compact laminate

Dimensions: 1,200 x 400 x 10 mm
Maximum worktop width: 920 mm

1.1 Worktop profiles

The worktop template has been set up so that the depth of the mitre joint is 15 mm. This ensures that it can be used for worktops with
a maximum postforming radius of ≤ 10 mm. The following EGGER worktop profiles are possible: 300/3 – 90 – 100/1.5 – 100/2 – 200/4 –
200/6 – 200/8– 300/6 – 300/8 – 301/6 and 301/8.

1.2 accessories
EGGER Templates are delivered with pins, which fit into the template for the front and back stops.

20/51
 Template handling advice

The template is fixed in axial direction with the stop pin. The milling depth at the corner joints as well as possible corrections of angles is
made with the eccentrics.

Fit a router bit with a 14 mm diameter (For example Leuco cutting insert – end milling cutter – Ident-Nr. 182696 – replacement blade:
Ident-Nr. 182697)
The router should be set so that milling should take place in three stages, each one increasing in depth. Set the router at 3 increasing
depths (so that the router bit is not overloaded and in order to achieve an optimal cut)

3.1.2 Milling process – joint 2-b

Milling should take place in three stages, (i.e. 3 depth adjustments) from left to right to avoid chipping the laminate. (Counter rotation).
The guide bush should follow the “inside” surface of the template, e.g. the side closest to the user – see photo.
With regards to the three stages, the last milling which goes through the whole worktop, should be carried out from left to right with
the router on the “outside” surface of the template (the side furthest away from the user), in order to achieve an optimal cut.

Note:
Please work at a steady feed rate and shift your weight onto the supported part of the template.
Only remove the router bit when the router has been completely switched off.

Processing Instructions
Finishing the edges of EUROLIGHT® worktops with
the EUROLIGHT® decor profile

For finishing the edges of EUROLIGHT® Worktops we have developed the EUROLIGHT® Decor profile so that edge finishing can be
performed quickly and without any difficulties. The decor profile is based on the same principle as the T-profile with the main difference
being that the front side of the decor profile is decor matched and that the whole worktop thickness is covered. The processing is
similar to the T-profile and ABS edgings respectively and only has slight differences. The decorative EUROLIGHT® Decor profile has
both protective and design functions for the exposed edges of the worktops. For gluing the decor profile we recommend the use of the
EGGER Universal Glue or an alternative contact adhesive.

Materials
For the finishing of worktop edges the following materials, tools and additional resources are required:
EUROLIGHT® Decor profile
EGGER Universal Glue, or an alternative contact adhesive
Measuring Tape
Pencil or permanent marker
Adhesive tape – for example Tesa® glass fibre fabric tape
Brush
Utility knife

Hob installations with eurolight® worktops

Processing Instructions
Hob installations with EUROLIGHT® worktops

For any type of hob – stainless steel, glass ceramics – the cut-outs should in all cases be carried out according to the instructions and
installation templates supplied by the manufacturer. In conjunction with EGGER EUROLIGHT® worktops attention must be given that the
worktop is securely positioned, so that no damage can arise through sawing, milling or drilling. Narrow sections of worktop in particular
can break or crack through inappropriate handling during processing. The board cut-outs should also be secured so that they cannot fall
out in an uncontrolled way and cause injury to individuals or damage materials.

Materials
Apart from the hob and the worktop the following materials, tools and additional resources are required for the hob installation:
Jigsaw with guide rail, for example Festool TS 75 EBQ or alternative jigsaw, hand router or CNC milling machine
Cordless electric screwdriver
EGGER EUROLIGHT® T-profile
EGGER Universal Glue
Measuring tape
Set square
Pencil or permanent marker
Self-adhesive aluminium tape – for example Tesa Aluminium Tape
Wood spiral drill or cylinder head drill bit
Installation instructions or template from the device manufacturer
Steel or woodworking bench

38/51
Hob installations with eurolight® worktops

Positioning
Centred mounting and sufficient spacing within the worktop should be observed for hobs in accordance with the specifications provided
by the manufacturers. As a safety precaution the hob should not be in contact with the cut edge as high temperatures are possible if
a malfunction should arise. The remaining distance to the front and back worktops edges must be at least 50 mm. Due to ergonomic
reasons the distance between the stovetop and a tall cupboard should be at least 300 mm. This spacing also applies as a recommendation
between sink and stovetop, as well for the minimum spacing in the area of corner joints.

Step by step guide

1. Mark the cut-out

Mark the cut-out according to the dimensions provided by the hob manufacturer using a pencil or permanent marker.
Important: Take an allowance of + 2 mm per side to make room for the EUROLIGHT® T-profile.

2. Through-hole in the marked corners

Largest possible radius according manufacturer specifications

39/51
Hob installations with eurolight® worktops

3. Cut out the marked area

Cut out the marked area using a jigsaw and guide rail.

Result:
EUROLIGHT® worktop with hob cut-out.

The edges should be finished by means of sandpaper, filing or

manual top milling to eliminate cracks due to chipping.

4. Measure and mark the EUROLIGHT® T-profile

The T-profile length depends on the drilling radius – from inside In order to use 1 piece of EUROLIGHT® T-Profile around the hob
radius to inside radius. without cutting, the ridge profiles in the corner areas must be
removed.

5. Apply EGGER Universal glue

Apply EGGER Universal Glue onto both sides of the ridge profiles within the T-profile.

40/51
Hob installations with eurolight® worktops

6. Slotting of T-profile
The right angled ridge profiles of the EUROLIGHT® T-Profile are slotted under the 8 mm surface layers of the worktops.

7. Coating of the cut-out area with self-adhesive aluminium tape

Before installation of the stovetop the T-profile should be sealed with a self-adhesive aluminium tape. The aluminium tape not only
reflects the heat, but also serves as an additional seal as the T-profile is 1mm narrower than the worktop thickness. At the same time
the unsealed inside corner area is sufficiently protected.

8. Position and screw mount the fixing brackets

Position and screw mount the fixing brackets directly into the T-profile according to manufacturer specifications.

EUROLIGHT® T-Profile

EUROLIGHT® T-Profiles are an accessory required for use with EUROLIGHT® Worktops and are specially designed for sink and hob
cut-outs. EUROLIGHT® T-Profiles not only protect sink and hob cut-outs from heat and moisture, they also guarantee the necessary
pressure stability. The profiles are designed for use with EUROLIGHT® Worktops in standard thicknesses of 38, 50 and 60 mm.

Article description
EUROLIGHT® T-Profiles are made from a material known as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). A universal bonding agent (primer)
is applied to the underside as standard. The profile cross-section and corresponding dimensions are shown in the diagram and table
below (see illustration 1). Along the profile length of 3,000 mm ± 15 mm, 7 mm slots are cut in the right-angle profiles at 10 mm intervals.
The slotting on the underside allows the use of circular cut-outs (see illustration 2).

EUROLIGHT® Decor profile

For finishing the exposed edges of EUROLIGHT® Worktops, we have developed the EUROLIGHT® Decor profile so that edge finishing
can be performed quickly and without any difficulties. The decor profile is based on the same principle as the T-profile with the main
difference being that the front side is colour matched to the worktops and covers the whole thickness of the worktops. The profiles are
matched to the EUROLIGHT® Worktop standard thickness 60 mm.

Description of the product

The EUROLIGHT® Decor profile is composed of ABS (acryl nitrile butadiene styrene). The rear side is coated as standard with a universal
primer. The front side is coated with a PP- (polypropylene) thin edge strip with the same decor. Please refer to the following drawing
(see illustration 1) for the profile cross sections and the respective dimensions. The length of the profile is 3,070 mm ± 15.
