Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure and Cut: Carefully measure the length of the wall where the upstand will be installed and cut the upstand to the correct size using appropriate tools. Ensure clean, precise cuts.
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the wall surface to remove any dust or debris. Ensure it's smooth and dry.
- Apply Adhesive: Use a suitable adhesive specifically designed for laminate installation. Apply the adhesive to the back of the upstand, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Position and Secure: Carefully position the upstand against the wall, aligning it with the worktop. Press firmly to ensure it adheres properly.
- Seal the Edges: Seal the edges of the upstand with a sealant appropriate for kitchen environments to prevent water ingress.
Compatibility:
The Wilsonart Woodstone Blanc upstand is designed to be compatible with the Woodstone Blanc worktop. Ensure that the materials are appropriate for the intended use and follow all installation and maintenance guidelines. Check with your adhesive and sealant manufacturers for compatibility with the laminate.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Protection: Avoid placing hot items directly against the upstand to prevent damage. Use trivets or heat-resistant mats.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the sealant around the edges and reapply as needed to maintain water resistance.
