Calacatta Ambrosio Laminate Worktop

A bright white marble effect with a few long veins in warm grey and gold, and soft cloudy patches between them. This laminate worktop comes as a 38mm postformed board or a slim 22mm square edge, with a matching upstand and splashback.

Thickness and edge
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 Calacatta Ambrosio, 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 Calacatta Ambrosio, 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

      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 Calacatta Ambrosio 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

              Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are enough for this white surface. Rinse and dry afterwards so no film is left behind. Stand hot pans on a trivet, not directly on the veined surface.

              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.

              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.

              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

              • White marble with long gold-grey veins

                A few broad veins in warm grey and soft gold run lengthwise through a bright ground. Between them, faint grey clouds keep the white from looking flat or clinical.

              • Pluton finish

                Calacatta Ambrosio carries Kronospan’s Pluton texture. This surface resists stains and everyday scratches, and unlike a real Calacatta slab it needs no sealing or polishing.

              • Both thicknesses are matched

                Upstands are 4100 x 100mm in 22mm and 20mm, and the splashback is 4100 x 640 x 10mm. This decor has no printed reverse, so the splashback face is the same marble on both sides.

              Calacatta looks for a modern, bright kitchen

              Bright white marble suits handleless gloss or matt units in grey, navy or pale green, and it lifts a north-facing room. The slim 22mm board gives a lean, contemporary line along the wall run. For islands and breakfast areas, the 38mm board has the weightier rounded front edge, and both stay on one decor so you can mix them. A white worktop also bounces light around a small room, which helps in a narrow galley.

              How to fit

              Fitting Calacatta Ambrosio

              Ambrosio’s veins run lengthwise. Lay lengths so they flow in the same direction before cutting. The 22mm board has a square ABS edge that can be butt-jointed, while the 38mm board has a 3mm rounded edge that needs a mitre or strip.

              What you’ll need

              0330 000 0000Email us
              Which lengths and thicknesses are listed for Calacatta Ambrosio?

              At 38mm, postformed boards measure 3000 or 4100mm by 600mm. The 22mm square edge is 4100 x 620mm. Breakfast bars are 665 and 900mm deep in 38mm, and 900mm in 22mm.

              Does white show stains?

              White shows dark spills until they are wiped, so clean up coffee and turmeric promptly. The laminate resists staining under normal use, and the soft grey clouds in the pattern help hide small marks.

              Which cabinets go with this marble?

              Navy, charcoal, sage and warm grey all look right beside it. For a lighter scheme, pair it with white shaker doors and brass handles to pick up the gold veining.

              Can I get a splashback in a different decor on the back?

              The splashback in this decor has no contrasting reverse listed. Both faces are Calacatta Ambrosio, so you can fit either one without worrying about orientation.

              Which suits me better, slim or standard thickness?

              Take 22mm for a slim, crisp square line and a lighter board. Take 38mm for the rounded edge and a solid appearance at breakfast bars. Fittings, upstands and sealing differ, so decide before ordering.

              Can an undermount sink be used?

              Not with this laminate, because an undermount cut-out would leave the chipboard exposed to water. An inset sink covers the cut edge and is the right pairing for a white marble look.
