What is the primary function of the Wilsonart Woodstone Blanc upstand?

The primary function is to protect the wall behind the countertop from splashes, stains, and impacts while seamlessly integrating with the Woodstone Blanc worktop.

What tools are needed for installing the upstand?

You will need a measuring tape, saw (for cutting), adhesive, sealant, a level, and possibly clamps to hold the upstand in place during the curing process.

Can I install the upstand myself?

Yes, with proper preparation and the right tools, it is possible to install the upstand yourself. However, for a perfect finish, professional installation is recommended.

How do I clean the upstand?

What kind of adhesive should I use?

Use a suitable adhesive specifically designed for laminate installation, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Is the upstand heat resistant?

While the upstand offers some heat resistance, it's best to avoid placing hot items directly against it. Use trivets or heat-resistant mats.

Troubleshooting

Upstand not sticking to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive for laminate and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and drying time. Consider using additional support during the curing process, such as clamps.

Gaps between the upstand and the wall/worktop.

Ensure the upstand is cut to the correct size. Use a suitable sealant to fill any gaps, providing a waterproof seal and a neat finish.

Upstand surface damaged after installation.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Repair minor scratches using laminate repair kits. If the damage is extensive, consider replacing the section of the upstand.
