Butt and scribe joints AKA mason mitres are the ultimate means of joining laminate and wooden kitchen worktops. This technology is taken even further with solid surface worktops where after installation of the join the material is sanded and polished to provide a near invisible join which can be completely invisible with certain patterns and colour types.

Butt And Scribe Mason Mitre Technology
Kitchen Worktop Fitters was one of the original kitchen worktop installation companies who first introduced the famous butt and scribe joint or masons mitre into UK kitchen worktop fabrication.
Since the early days millions of kitchens in the UK now incorporate this technology within their design.
Butt and scribe joints are also known in the industry as a masons mitre and hockey stick joins.
Butt and scribe joins and mason mitre's originate from stone masons and were originally designed to save on material as the 45 degree does not continue in a straight line. The mitre part of the join only continues for a short distance before dog legging and becoming a butt joint....giving the overall appearance of a "hockey stick shape" hence the name.
The only way to achieve this perfect join is to use router and jig technology.
Once the joins are cut the underside is recessed to accommodate the toggle bolts for bolting together.
Where a join is unsupported it may require biscuit joining.
On some occasions when joining solid wooden worktops it may be preferable aesthetically to run the 45 degree join in a straight line so any staves (the small wooden blocks that make up a worktop) line up all the way along the join...however this would require more worktop length to achieve.
