Can I cut the Lustrolite panel to size?

Can I use Lustrolite behind my kitchen hob?

Yes, it can be installed behind an electric, ceramic or induction hob however we advise that a distance of at least 50mm is required between the hob and the Lustrolite panel. Also additional protection is recommended directly behind hobs to avoid damage to the panels caused by direct contact with hot pans; We recommend the use of our aluminum or colour matched glass hob protector (available in our web store). Please note: Lustrolite is NOT suitable for installation behind a gas hob.
