It can be tempting to see accessories like sealants, tape, strips or metal trims as optional extras, but they play a crucial role in the look and longevity of your kitchen. Laminate worktops are impressively durable, but they’ll still benefit from a bit of extra protection at the joints and edges. Products like joint sealants, high-strength tape and protective trims are designed to create tight, durable seals that prevent water ingress and reinforce exposed areas. Skipping them might save a small amount during installation, but using the correct accessories from the start helps to ensure your kitchen remains strong, neat and functional for even longer.

Kitchen Accessories FAQS
1. Do I really need these kitchen accessories, and why do they matter?
2. Can I install these accessories myself?
Yes! In fact, we pride ourselves on the fact that the majority of our kitchen accessories are designed for straightforward DIY installation. With a bit of time and effort, you can fit and finish your new surfaces yourself with minimal stress. Of course, if you need a bit of additional support, our team is always available to provide practical advice throughout the installation process. We also offer a dedicated edging service carried out by experienced joiners for extra convenience and total peace of mind.
3. Do I need edging strips or metal trims?
Whether you choose edging strips or metal trims depends on the finish and protection you want for your kitchen worktops. Edging strips are ideal for covering exposed edges, protecting against moisture, knocks, and everyday wear while creating a smooth, coordinated look that seamlessly matches your surface. On the other hand, metal trims, like our matt silver and black options, provide a sleek, modern finish and guarantee even more durable protection. They’re perfect if you want to add a contemporary detail or need a robust edge solution. Many customers use edging strips for a classic, integrated finish, while others choose metal trims for style, contrast and resilience. If you’re unsure which to go for, our team will be happy to offer guidance to help you make the right choice for your space.
4. How do I protect my surfaces from heat and moisture?
At Savoy Timber, we understand how busy kitchens are, which is why we choose our entire range with everyday use and durability in mind. With that said, there are steps you can take to keep them looking their best for even longer. Take our self‑adhesive protector rods, for example. They sit along your surfaces and provide a simple but effective shield where hot pans or trays could otherwise leave marks or stress the finish. They’re heat, water, and detergent‑proof, making them a durable choice for protecting your surfaces near cooking zones or work areas. Another useful product is a moisture and heat barrier sheet. This fits on the underside of your worktop above things like dishwashers or washing machines and acts as a barrier, helping to safeguard both the appliances and the worktops.
