Calacatta Marble Laminate Worktop

Calacatta Marble is a white marble effect decor, named after a classic Italian stone, and listed in white. This laminate worktop has a crisp square edge in 40mm or 25mm, with a matching upstand and splashback for a seamless wall.

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 Marble, 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 Marble, 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 Marble 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

              Calacatta Marble responds well to a soft cloth and warm soapy water, followed by a dry-off. White surfaces show spills quickly, so wipe them promptly. Avoid scouring pads and harsh powders.

              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.
              Full measuring guide

              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

              • A bright marble look, listed in white

                Calacatta is the name of a classic Italian marble, and this decor is listed in white. We do not describe vein colours, so use the product photos to judge the veining.

              • Marble style with an easier surface

                Real marble stains and etches, but the high-pressure laminate face resists everyday stains and scratches and wipes clean with soapy water. It never needs sealing. Use a board and a trivet.

              • Matching set for a seamless finish

                Add a 3600 x 125mm upstand, a 3000 x 1200mm splashback, a 3600 x 350mm panel and 5000mm edging, so the wall and ends match the surface.

              A white marble look for light, classic kitchens

              White marble effects suit classic shaker kitchens, painted units and bright, airy rooms. Calacatta Marble works well with pale grey, green or navy cabinets and with brass or chrome handles. The 40mm board gives a chunky edge on an island. The 25mm board is a lighter choice for a second run or a utility. Both have the same look, so the rooms can match.

              How to fit

              Fitting Calacatta Marble

              Calacatta Marble is a white decor, so pencil lines and dust show on the face. Plan 4000mm runs carefully, and have the colour-matched edging ready for every cut end on both the 40mm and 25mm boards.

              What you’ll need

              0330 000 0000Email us
              Is Calacatta Marble white?

              It is listed in white, with a marble look as the name states. We do not describe the veining, so check the product photos for the pattern and tone.

              Do I have to seal this the way I would real marble?

              No. Sealing the face is never required. Only seal cut ends and cut-outs with the matching edging strip or silicone, so moisture stays out of the core.

              How wide is the board for an island?

              The 900mm depth suits islands and peninsulas, and the 650mm depth suits standard runs. Both are 4000mm long, in 40mm or 25mm thickness.

              Which handles suit a white marble look?

              Brushed brass, satin nickel and chrome all work. Black handles give a sharper contrast against a white surface and pale cabinets.

              Will a Belfast or inset sink suit Calacatta Marble?

              Yes. An inset sink suits laminate; an undermount sink does not. Seal the cut-out edges with silicone or edging so water cannot reach the chipboard core.

              How does it compare with Milan Marble?

              Both are marble effect decors in the same range and sizes. Calacatta Marble is listed in white, while we have no colour for Milan Marble.
