Affixing a laundry benchtop

[cdunton]

Hi there,

Hope you are all well! We are embarking on a laundry refresh and want to install a bench top on the right land side of the laundry sink. We are listing our property to sell shortly and want to make the laundry a lot more dynamic - but don’t want to pay a lot. What would you recommend I use to get the bench top in place - nails, screws, bracket, masonry drill? Any help would be appreciated!!

Hello @cdunton 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your benchtop.

I propose using a combination of timber and angle brackets to hold the benchtop in place. I suggest using 70 x 35mm Framing MGP10 H2 Blue Pine 5.4m for the back and right-hand side of the benchtop. For the left-hand side near the laundry tub, I recommend using a Carinya 300 x 300mm White Heavy Duty Straight Stayed Bracket.

I suggest using a stud finder to find the studs behind your wall if you have a timber framed wall. I recommend using Zenith 10G x 75mm Gold Passivated Type 17 Countersunk Head Timber Screws - 50 Pack to screw into your timber stud. To drill into the tiles I suggest using a QEP 8mm Diamond Tile Drill Bit.

Please give me some time to draw up a quick sketch of the mounting. As soon as I'm finished. I'll post it here.

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
