Chepe Laminate Worktop

A speckled grey-taupe surface packed with large pale chips and small dark flecks, in the manner of terrazzo or aggregate. It is a square edge laminate worktop in 38mm or slim 22mm, supplied in 3050mm lengths with matching trims to go with it.

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 Chepe, 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.

    What's a splashback?

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

    What it is

    A full-height panel in Chepe, 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 Chepe 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.

            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.

Order by 4pm Monday to Friday for next working day delivery to most of England and Wales; orders placed after 4pm, at weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day, and some areas take 2 to 3 working days. Check your date below. We confirm your slot 24 hours before, and delivery is kerbside, so have a second person ready to carry it in.
              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

              Wash with warm soapy water, and dry to leave no film. Avoid abrasive powders that would dull the print. Hot saucepans should rest on a trivet.

              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

              • Chunky chips in grey-taupe

                Angular pale and dark fragments are scattered through a grey-taupe ground, some as large as a coin. It has the busy character of terrazzo without a repeating motif.

              • Practical in finish code DP

                This laminate resists stains and everyday scratches and is never sealed. The speckle also helps camouflage crumbs. Keep every cut end covered with edging strip, since the core beneath is chipboard.

              • Trims and bar top in the same chips

                A 3000 x 100 x 20mm upstand and a 3000 x 600 x 6mm splashback are available in the same chips. The 38mm breakfast bar is 3050 x 900mm.

              A speckled surface that forgives a busy kitchen

              Where a plain grey shows every mark, a busy aggregate pattern hides them. That makes Chepe a good fit for family kitchens, rental properties and garage workbenches. White, soft black and sage cabinets all look good against it, and wooden handles add warmth. Choose 22mm for a thin, contemporary edge or 38mm for a heavier one; the print is the same.

              How to fit

              Fitting Chepe

              Chepe comes square edged in 38mm and 22mm. The chip pattern has no direction, so any off-cut can be reused without matching a grain, and joints are easy to disguise in a pattern this busy.

              What does Chepe look like up close?

              Expect a grey-taupe base filled with pale and dark chips of various sizes, with a few tiny black flecks. It looks a lot like terrazzo or aggregate.

              Which depth should I choose for a bar?

              The 38mm top has a 900mm-deep bar version in the full 3050mm length. The 22mm option is a standard 620mm worktop only.

              Does the speckle hide marks?

              Largely, yes. A busy chip pattern camouflages crumbs and light marks far better than a plain surface, though it is not a substitute for regular wiping.

              Which units suit this pattern?

              Plain fronts work best: white, soft black, sage or putty grey. With a busy top, keep handles simple and the splashback in the matching decor or plain.

              Do the trims come in the same chips?

              Yes. A 3000mm upstand, 100mm high and 20mm thick, comes in the same chips. A 6mm splashback 600mm high also matches.

              Which thickness suits Chepe, 22mm or 38mm?

              The 22mm top gives a slim, modern edge, while 38mm feels more solid and is the only one offered as a breakfast bar. Choose by how you want the front to look.
