Black Andromeda Glitter Matt Laminate Worktop

A deep black ground scattered with tiny white and silver flecks, like a night sky. This laminate kitchen worktop has a square edge in 38mm or slim 22mm and a dramatic, glamorous presence. Matching upstand and splashback are available in the same black.

Size

What's an upstand?

Upstand, 100mm highWorktop 100mm high 22mm thick Silicone bead 600mm deep worktop Wall

What it is

A 100mm-high strip in Black Andromeda Glitter Matt, the same decor as your worktop. It sits along the back edge of the worktop, against the wall.

Why you need one

Walls are rarely straight, so there's nearly always a gap between worktop and wall. An upstand covers it, stops water and crumbs getting down the back, and gives a neat finished line. It's the simplest, cheapest way to finish a worktop.

Sizes

    Most kitchens need one length per wall run.

    Fitting

    Cut it to length with a fine-tooth saw and bond it to the wall with grab adhesive. Run a bead of clear or matching silicone along the bottom edge, and finish any exposed ends with an end cap.

    Upstand or splashback?

    Choose an upstand if you're tiling above the worktop, or want the cheapest neat finish. Choose a splashback behind the hob or sink, or if you want no tiles at all. Lots of kitchens use both.

    Read the full fitting guide

    What's a splashback?

    Splashbackupstand heightHob and oven 640mm high 10mm thick Worktop Wall

    What it is

    A full-height panel in Black Andromeda Glitter Matt, the same decor as your worktop, fixed to the wall behind the hob or sink.

    Why choose one

    One continuous wipe-clean surface with no grout lines, so there's nothing to stain or scrub between tiles. It protects the wall from splashes and cooking grease, and makes the worktop and wall look like one piece.

    Sizes

      It's double-sided: White Andromeda is on the reverse, so you can choose which way round to fit it.

      Behind a hob

      Check the minimum clearance to a laminate panel in your hob's installation manual. Gas hobs usually need more space, or a heat-resistant panel behind the burners.

      Fitting

      Cut it to size and bond it to a flat, sound wall with panel adhesive. Seal the bottom edge to the worktop with silicone.

      Upstand or splashback?

      Choose an upstand if you're tiling above the worktop, or want the cheapest neat finish. Choose a splashback behind the hob or sink, or if you want no tiles at all. Lots of kitchens use both.

      What's an edging strip?

      BeforeCut end: barechipboard core AfterEdging strip,45mm wide, coversa cut end

      What it is

      A strip in Black Andromeda Glitter Matt that covers the cut end of the worktop. It comes pre-glued, or is fixed with contact adhesive.

      When you need it

      Whenever a cut end is on show: at the end of a run, on a breakfast bar, or anywhere you've cut a length down.

      Sizes

        Fitting

        1. Glue Spread contact adhesive on the end and the strip, or warm a pre-glued strip.
        2. Press Press it on firmly from the middle outwards, with a block of wood.
        3. Trim and file Trim the overhang with a sharp blade, then file the edges down at a slight angle.

        What are joining strips?

        Corner strip (L-shape)Straight stripSeen from above Aluminium strip38mm worktop: use the38mm stripWorktopWorktop

        What it is

        An aluminium strip that joins two worktop lengths without a router or jig. The web slips between the two ends and the cap covers the joint.

        Straight or corner

        Straight: joins two lengths in a line. Corner: makes an L-shaped join where two runs meet.

        Sizes

          Match the strip to your worktop's thickness: a 38mm strip for a 38mm worktop.

          The alternative

          A mason's mitre gives a seamless corner, but it needs a worktop jig and a router. See both options in our fitting guide.

          What are end caps?

          BeforeAfterExposed endEnd capScrewed over therounded profile Left end capRight end capYou, facing the worktopWall

          What it is

          An aluminium cap that finishes the exposed end of a postformed worktop, following its rounded front edge.

          Left or right?

          Stand facing the worktop. If the exposed end is on your left, you need a left end cap; if it's on your right, a right end cap.

          Sizes

            Match the cap to your worktop's thickness.

            Fitting

            Hold the cap against the end, drill small pilot holes and screw it on. A thin bead of silicone behind it keeps water out of the end.

            Read the full fitting guide

            What's in the joint kit?

            3 connector boltsJoint sealant Seen from underneathBolts pull the joint tight;sealant keeps water out

            What's in it

            Three connector bolts and a tube of joint sealant: everything to hold one worktop joint together.

            What it's for

            The bolts sit in pockets cut underneath both worktops and pull the joint tight. The sealant goes on the joint faces first, so water can't get into the core.

            How many?

            One kit per worktop joint.

              Care and cleaning

              Black laminate shows fingerprints, dust and limescale, so keep a soft cloth to hand. Use warm soapy water, dry it, and buff along the surface. Avoid scouring powders that could dull the face.

              Which edge?

              • Postformed: the laminate wraps a soft, rounded front. Classic and hard-wearing.
              • Square edge: a sharp, modern line with a matching edge strip.
              • Compact: 12mm solid board, slim and waterproof.
              More on edges and thickness

              Fitting in four steps

              • Measure, then cut face down with a fine-tooth blade.
              • Lay it on the units and screw up through the brackets.
              • Seal the cut edges, then fit the upstand and end caps.
              Read the full fitting guide

              How to measure

              • Measure each wall run along the back, in millimetres.
              • Add about 50mm to every run so you can trim to a clean fit.
              • In an L-shape, let the longest run go into the corner.

              Size guide

              • Worktops come 3000mm or 4100mm long and 600mm deep.
              • Breakfast bars are deeper: 665mm or 900mm, for islands and overhangs.
              • Buy a length that covers your run, then cut it to fit.

              Why you’ll love it

              • Black with a scatter of silver stars

                Tiny white and silver flecks sit densely on a true black ground. In bright light they glint like a starry sky. In low light the surface looks smooth and nearly solid black.

              • Glitter Matt texture on laminate

                A laminate surface over chipboard keeps cleaning simple. The flecks hide small crumbs, though dust and water spots show on black, so a regular wipe pays off.

              • White Andromeda on the reverse

                The 4100 x 640 x 10mm splashback is two-faced with White Andromeda behind. A 38mm postformed Black Andromeda is also made, including a 3m contract length of 3050mm.

              Sparkling black for statement kitchens

              A black speckled worktop suits handleless gloss or matt units in white, grey or navy, and it makes brass or steel fittings stand out. Used for an island, a 900mm breakfast bar in this decor becomes a feature. It is also a hard-wearing choice for a bar area, a salon or a rental flat, where a dark surface hides daily wear.

              How to fit

              Fitting Black Andromeda Glitter Matt

              Black Andromeda is a square-edge board in 38mm at 600mm deep or 22mm at 620mm deep. A dark top reveals chips and dust, so protect the face, saw slowly, and match the strip width to your thickness.

              Questions about Black Andromeda Glitter Matt

              0330 000 0000Email us
              Is Black Andromeda truly black?

              Yes, a deep black base with small white and silver flecks. The flecks are dense, so the worktop sparkles in direct light and settles to near solid black at a distance.

              What thicknesses and sizes are on offer?

              38mm boards are 600mm deep in 3000mm and 4100mm, with 665mm and 900mm bars. The slim 22mm range has a 4100 x 620mm worktop and a 4100 x 900mm bar. All have a square edge.

              Is it made with a rounded front edge too?

              Yes. A separate Black Andromeda postformed product has a 38mm rounded edge, and a 3m contract length of 3050mm is also listed. This page is for the square-edge boards.

              Will it show dust and water marks?

              Black surfaces do show them, though the flecks soften the effect. A soft cloth after cooking and a dry-off around the sink keep it looking sharp.

              Which colour sits behind the black splashback face?

              White Andromeda, code K217 GM. A splashback in this range is 4100 x 640 x 10mm, so you can face the wall in black and use the white side in another room.

              Which cabinet and tap finishes go with black?

              White and light grey doors give a crisp contrast. Dark green or navy gives a rich, moody effect. Brass and steel taps both read well against the black.
