How to choose in three steps 

•      Measure the thickness of your top in millimeters. It's the starting point.

•      Choose the type. On Top for direct and precise integration. Top wire for total visual continuity. Free Top for a customized thickness or an edge to enhance.

•      Choose the finish: matt black or stainless steel.

The profile size refers to the thickness of the top in standard sizes. For customized thicknesses or particular shapes, the Free Top profile is the correct choice. 

Frequently asked questions 

Is the front profile part of the LHOV installation? 

Yes. The front profile is an integral part of the installation: it is it that guarantees the exact correspondence between the worktop and the kitchen top. It must be chosen and mounted together with the top.

What is the difference between On Top and Filo Top? 

On Top: The edge of the LHOV overlaps the top precisely. No milling, direct installation, available in 10mm. Top Flush: LHOV is exactly flush with the top for total visual continuity. Requires front milling, available in 16mm.

When do you choose the Free Top? 

The Free Top is the right choice for customized top thicknesses or for edges that you want to enhance. It adapts to any thickness between 10 and 50 mm, without milling.

Can I choose profile after installing LHOV? 

No. The front profile must be chosen and installed together with the top. It is part of the installation process, not an accessory to add later.
