Returns

Changed your mind? You have 14 days from delivery to return it unused, uncut and in its wrapping; we refund within 14 days of getting it back. Report any damage within 48 hours. Full returns policy.

Care and cleaning

Gloss shows smears more than a matt finish, so finish with a dry microfibre cloth after wiping. Never use scourers or cream cleaners: they leave fine scratches on gloss. Always use a chopping board. Use a trivet for hot pans and a board for chopping.

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.

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.

Black Andromeda surface detail

Black sparkle that catches the light

Black Andromeda has a fine glitter that catches the light without looking flashy. It suits white gloss and handleless kitchens, and the sparkle helps hide everyday marks.

How to fit

Fitting Black Andromeda

Most straight runs of Black Andromeda are a weekend job. Gloss surfaces scratch more easily than matt, so lay a blanket on the worktop while you fit wall units above it.

  1. Step 1

    Measure

    Measure each wall run along the back. Black Andromeda comes in 3m, 3.05m and 4.1m lengths, so order the next size up and trim to fit.

  2. Step 2

    Cut to size

    Cut face up with a jigsaw and a down-cutting blade, or face down with a circular saw. Masking tape on the line stops the edge chipping.

  3. Step 3

    Fix it down

    Screw up through the unit brackets with screws shorter than 22mm so they cannot break through the top.

  4. Step 4

    Finish the edges

    Iron or glue the matching edging strip onto every cut end and file it flush, then seal along the wall with clear silicone.

What you’ll need

Most homes have these already:

  • Pencil
  • Drill driver
  • Circular saw or jigsaw
  • Straight edge or spirit level

Questions about Black Andromeda

Can’t find your answer? Contact our worktop team.

What sizes does Black Andromeda come in?

Prices include VAT and free delivery: Worktop 3m (38mm postformed) £153.98; Worktop 4.1m (38mm postformed) £209.05; Breakfast bar 900mm (38mm postformed) £339.54; Breakfast bar 665mm (38mm postformed) £341.77; Worktop 3m (38mm square edge) £217.71; Worktop 4.1m (38mm square edge) £295.55.

Should I choose the postformed or square edge?

The postformed edge wraps the laminate round a soft rounded profile at the front, so there is no seam where water can get in. The square edge gives a sharper, modern line and needs edging strip on any cut end. Both use the same Black Andromeda decor.

How do I join two lengths of Black Andromeda at a corner?

A postformed front edge needs either a mason’s mitre, cut with a worktop jig and router, or an aluminium corner joining strip, which only needs a straight cut. Seal a mitre with colour-matched joint sealant and pull it tight with connector bolts.

Can I have an undermount sink with Black Andromeda?

No. Laminate worktops have a chipboard core that would be exposed around an undermount cut-out. Choose an inset sink, which sits on top and covers the cut edge. Black Andromeda is not made in a 12mm compact version.

What colour cabinets go with Black Andromeda?

White gloss and handleless kitchens are the classic match. Red, grey and pale wood also work.

Is there a matching upstand and splashback?

Yes: a matching upstand (4100 x 100 x 22mm), a matching splashback (4100 x 640 x 10mm). Full-height panel behind the hob or sink.

How do I clean Black Andromeda?

Gloss shows smears more than a matt finish, so finish with a dry microfibre cloth after wiping. Never use scourers or cream cleaners: they leave fine scratches on gloss. Always use a chopping board.

How heavy is a Black Andromeda worktop?

The worktop 4.1m (4100 x 600 x 38mm) weighs roughly 60kg, so it is a two-person lift. It arrives as one full length, so check there is a clear route through the door and around corners.

Can I see Black Andromeda before I order?

We don’t sell samples, but the decor code is K218 GG from Kronospan Finesse, so a kitchen showroom that stocks Kronospan can show you the real thing. The close-up photos on this page are true to colour on most screens.
