Troubleshooting
Upstand will not adhere properly to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for compact laminate and follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.
Visible gaps between the upstand and the wall or worktop.
This may indicate an uneven wall or worktop surface, or improper cutting. Ensure precise measurements and cuts. For minor imperfections, a suitable sealant can be used along the edges after installation.
Surface appears dull or has lost its sheen.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Revert to using only a soft, damp cloth or a mild detergent. A specialist laminate cleaner might restore some sheen, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Cutting the upstand results in chipping or splintering.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw specifically designed for cutting laminate or composite materials. Ensure the upstand is securely supported during cutting to minimize vibration and use masking tape along the cut line to help prevent chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This upstand is designed for straightforward installation. It should be fitted directly onto the wall behind your worktop, typically using a suitable adhesive or fixing method recommended for compact laminate. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and flat before application. If cutting is required, use appropriate tools for laminate materials and ensure edges are smooth.
Compatibility: The Zenith Marmo Bianco Upstand is designed to integrate with most standard kitchen worktops. Its slim profile ensures it fits neatly into the gap between the worktop and the wall. It is suitable for use in kitchens, particularly behind hobs and sinks where splash protection is most needed.
Care: Cleaning is simple. Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the laminate surface. Ensure spills are wiped up promptly to maintain its pristine appearance.
