Rebated Hob Cut Out
Are you a new homeowner or someone renovating a kitchen but don’t know how to fit your hob? A Rebated Hob Cut Out is what you need. This simply means we at MO’s STONEX create a space in your worktop. It involves cutting a precise opening or hole, which is shaped specifically to fit your kitchen hob or cooktop. It is the exact spot where your appliance will be installed. This ensures a neat and functional area for cooking.
Moreover, our special machinery creates this precise cut out. We use professional CNC router technology that ensures the cut is perfectly accurate. After all, it is essential to get the right size of cut out. The dimensions of the cutout must exactly match your specific hob. If the sizes don’t align, you can end up with gaps. An ill-fitting cut out will also cause instability. That’s why we pay heed to this topic that precise match is the pivot point for both a clean look and safe installation.
Let’s look at the difference in hob cut outs. There is a Standard Hob Cut Out and then there is a Recessed Hob Cut Out. The recessed type is designed for a specific purpose. It is made for hobs that are meant to sit perfectly flush. Here, flush means the top of the hob is level with your worktop surface. This gives a wonderfully sleek finish so that your kitchen looks modern and smooth.
Interestingly, our Recessed Hob Cut Outs are made with precision. We follow the exact guidelines from the appliance manufacturer. This process includes leaving a small gap so that it sits between the hob and your quartz kitchen countertop. We use silicone to carefully fill this gap.
Here, the silicone is important because it helps for thermal expansion. As you know, hobs create heat when they are used. This flexibility protects both your appliance and your worktop from stress. It is a key detail for a safe and lasting installation.
