FAQs

What is the primary material of this upstand?

The upstand is made from durable laminate material.

Is the terrazzo dune effect printed or embedded?

The product description implies a decorative laminate surface with the terrazzo dune effect.

Can I cut this upstand to a custom size?

Yes, the upstand can be cut to custom lengths using appropriate tools for laminate.

How do I clean the antibacterial surface?

The antibacterial surface is maintained through regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive materials.

What is covered by the lifetime guarantee?

The lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects.

Can this upstand be used in a very humid environment like a bathroom?

While it is moisture-resistant, it is specifically designed for kitchen use. Prolonged exposure to high humidity not typical of a kitchen environment is not recommended.

What adhesive should I use for installation?

A suitable laminate adhesive or a strong, flexible silicone sealant is recommended for installation. Consult with your local hardware store for specific product recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Upstand not adhering properly

Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Reapply adhesive, ensuring even coverage and sufficient curing time.

Visible seams or gaps after installation

Ensure precise cutting and a level mounting surface. Small gaps can sometimes be filled with a color-matched sealant, but re-cutting may be necessary for a perfect fit.

Surface appears dull or stained

Review the cleaning instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use a mild detergent and water. For stubborn marks, a specialized laminate cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Edge chipping during cutting

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for laminate or plastic. Support the material adequately during cutting to prevent vibration and splintering.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances kitchen aesthetics with a unique terrazzo design.
  • Offers excellent durability and resistance to daily wear and tear.
  • Provides hygienic benefits with antibacterial properties.
  • Low maintenance, easy to clean and resistant to stains.
  • Long-term value with a lifetime guarantee.

Cons

  • Fixed dimensions (3000 x 100mm) may require cutting or may not suit all spaces.
  • Laminate material, while durable, may be susceptible to deep scratches or heat damage if not handled with care.
  • Requires proper installation to ensure a seamless and secure fit.
  • The specific aesthetic may not appeal to all design preferences.
  • Not a flexible or modular system, best suited for standard installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the required length for your countertop. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts.
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure the wall and countertop edge are clean, dry, and free from debris.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Apply a suitable laminate adhesive or silicone sealant along the back edge of the upstand and the corresponding edge of the countertop and wall.
  4. Position and Secure: Press the upstand firmly into place. Use masking tape to hold it securely while the adhesive cures, if necessary.

Compatibility:

This upstand is designed to be installed directly onto most standard kitchen countertops and walls. It is compatible with laminate, solid surface, and quartz countertops. Ensure compatibility with your specific wall material (e.g., plasterboard, tile) and use appropriate fixings if needed beyond adhesive.

Care:

  • Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
  • For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
