Product Information
Full details
The Wilsonart Mountain Lodge Square Edge Upstand is designed for homeowners and kitchen designers seeking the warm, rustic aesthetic of natural timber without the intensive maintenance required by real wood. Featuring a highly realistic wood grain texture, knot detailing, and a versatile contemporary grey finish, this upstand serves as a durable, stain-resistant backsplash transition that protects walls from splashes and debris; however, it is important to note that it is a laminate product and should not be placed in direct, prolonged contact with high-heat sources like open flames.

FAQs
Can this upstand be used near a gas hob?
While it is heat-resistant, it should not be placed in direct contact with a flame; ensure there is sufficient clearance as per your hob manufacturer's safety recommendations.
How do I clean the wood grain texture?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid wire brushes or abrasive cleaners that could damage the texture.
Is this product waterproof?
The laminate surface is water-resistant, but the core should be protected from standing water by sealing all joints and edges with silicone.
Can I cut this product to length?
Yes, it can be cut using a standard circular saw or jigsaw equipped with a blade suitable for laminate materials.
Does it need to be oiled like real wood?
No. This is a laminate product and requires no oiling, sanding, or staining.
Troubleshooting
Upstand appears loose after installation
Ensure the wall was sufficiently cleaned of dust and debris before applying adhesive; re-apply using a stronger, high-tack construction adhesive.
Visible gaps at corners or joints
Use a color-matched professional sealant to fill small gaps, or utilize an end-cap profile for a cleaner finish at exposed edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and level before application. Use high-quality silicone or structural adhesive suitable for laminate surfaces to bond the upstand to the wall. When cutting the material, use a fine-tooth blade to prevent chipping the laminate surface. Care involves avoiding abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can compromise the textured finish over time. Always verify that your wall gaps are sealed properly with a color-matched silicone to prevent moisture ingress behind the upstand.
