Product Information

Full details

The Wilsonart Mississippi Pine Laminate Upstand is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking the rustic aesthetic of natural wood without the high maintenance requirements. It provides a durable, heat-resistant, and stain-resistant transition between countertops and walls, perfectly replicating the look of pine with authentic knots and wood grain texture. While it excels in durability and daily ease of use, it is important to remember that this is a laminate product, meaning it lacks the depth of solid wood if sanded or deeply scratched.

FAQs

Can I use this upstand near a gas hob?

Yes, it is heat resistant, but you should ensure there is a safe distance between the open flame and the laminate surface to prevent scorching.

Does it need to be sealed?

No, as a laminate product, it is non-porous and does not require sealing, oiling, or waxing.

Can I cut this upstand to size?

Yes, it can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or a circular saw with a laminate-grade blade to ensure a clean edge.

How do I join two pieces of upstand together?

Use a professional-grade color-matched joint sealant to create a seamless, water-tight bond between adjacent sections.

Is the surface real wood?

No, it is a high-quality laminate engineered to provide the visual and tactile characteristics of natural wood with greater durability.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between upstand and wall

Apply a thin bead of color-matched silicone sealant to bridge the gap and prevent moisture ingress.

Surface buildup or grease

Use a non-abrasive household kitchen cleaner and a microfiber cloth to gently lift grease without harming the texture.

Minor scuff marks

Gently buff with a soft, dry cloth; do not use steel wool or abrasive powders.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to heat and kitchen stains
  • Looks and feels like natural wood
  • Requires zero sealing or specialized wood maintenance
  • High impact resistance for busy households

Cons

  • Laminate surface cannot be sanded or refinished like solid wood
  • Deep scratches may expose the core material
  • Not intended for direct high-heat exposure from hot pans

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard laminate mounting techniques, typically involving high-quality, moisture-resistant adhesive or silicone sealant to ensure a gap-free bond between the wall and the worktop. It is compatible with most standard laminate worktops in the Wilsonart collection. For care, simply use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away debris. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acidic chemicals, as these can dull the textured finish over time. Always wipe away standing water near the joints to ensure the longevity of the substrate.
