FAQs

What are the dimensions of this upstand?

The upstand measures 3000mm in length, 100mm in height, and 20mm in thickness.

Is this upstand waterproof?

The laminate material is designed to be water-resistant and protect your walls from splashes. However, it is not intended for submersion and should be wiped dry after significant wetting.

How do I clean the Clear Beech Block surface?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Promptly wipe away spills.

Can this upstand be used with any type of worktop?

It is designed to complement laminate worktops, particularly those from the Options range, for a seamless look. Compatibility with other materials should be assessed based on installation methods and aesthetic matching.

What does 'antibacterial protection' mean for this product?

The surface has been treated or manufactured with materials that inhibit the growth of bacteria, contributing to a more hygienic kitchen environment.

Does the lifetime guarantee cover accidental damage?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and faults under normal use. It generally does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or wear and tear from improper installation or maintenance.

How is the realistic wood texture achieved?

The texture is part of the laminate's design, created through a printing process that mimics the look and feel of real wood, applied to a durable substrate.

Troubleshooting

Upstand does not sit flush against the wall.

Check the wall for unevenness and ensure it is properly prepared. Minor imperfections can sometimes be addressed with the adhesive or sealant used during installation.

Visible gaps between upstand and worktop.

Ensure both surfaces are level and clean. Use a suitable sealant designed for kitchen installations to fill small gaps and provide a waterproof seal.

Surface appears dull or discolored after cleaning.

You may have used an abrasive cleaner. Switch to a soft cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consult the manufacturer's specific cleaning recommendations.

Difficulty cutting the upstand to size.

Use a sharp fine-toothed saw suitable for laminate or wood. Ensure the upstand is securely supported during cutting to prevent chipping. Consider a professional cut if unsure.

  • Comes with a lifetime guarantee for long-term value and peace of mind.

Cons

  • The 3000mm length requires careful planning and potentially assistance for installation.

  • As a laminate product, it may not offer the same solid feel as natural wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and level before installation. The upstand can be cut to size using appropriate tools for laminate materials. Apply a suitable adhesive or use mounting clips as recommended for your specific wall type and worktop installation. For precise fitting, a professional installation is recommended, especially given its length.

Compatibility: This upstand is designed to complement laminate kitchen worktops and adjacent wall surfaces. It is best used with Options laminate worktops for a seamless finish. Ensure compatibility with your chosen wall finish (e.g., plasterboard, tiles).

Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the laminate surface. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. For tougher marks, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used sparingly. Ensure the area where the upstand meets the worktop and wall remains dry to prevent moisture ingress.
