Dark Porterhouse Oak Laminate Worktop

A smoky brown oak effect laid in narrow staves of varied tone, like a butcher’s block. This laminate worktop is a 38mm postformed board with a rounded front edge, and it comes with a matching upstand and splashback and two depths of breakfast bar.

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 Dark Porterhouse Oak, 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 Dark Porterhouse Oak, 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: Light Porterhouse Oak 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 Dark Porterhouse Oak 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.

              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

              Wipe along the staves with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. Dry the surface afterwards. No oiling is needed, but a trivet and a chopping board will protect the decor.

              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

              • Staved oak in smoky browns

                Short and long staves sit side by side, running from deep chocolate to a lighter walnut-brown. Some show open grain and small marks, so the surface feels crafted rather than uniform.

              • Fine Pore finish

                This oak wears Kronospan’s Fine Pore finish. You get the look of oiled oak with a laminate that resists stains and everyday scratches, and there is no oiling, sanding or sealing to schedule.

              • Light Porterhouse Oak on the back

                The double-sided splashback pairs this decor with Light Porterhouse Oak, code K091FP, at 4100 x 640 x 10mm. The upstand is 4100 x 100 x 22mm, and breakfast bars come in two depths.

              Butcher-block warmth without the oiling

              A stave pattern suits farmhouse and shaker kitchens, and also gives warmth to cream, grey and green cabinets. Solid wood worktops need regular oiling and hate standing water, while this laminate gives a similar rich look on a surface you can simply wipe. A good fit for a busy family kitchen or a rental where you want the warmth without the upkeep.

              0330 000 0000Email us
              What size boards does this oak come in?

              Expect a 38mm postformed worktop, 600mm deep, in 3000mm or 4100mm lengths. Breakfast bars run to 4100mm, 665 or 900mm deep. A matching upstand at 4100 x 100 x 22mm.

              Is it real wood?

              No. It is a printed high-pressure laminate over a chipboard core, designed to look like staved oak. That means no oiling, and you can wipe it clean, though you should still use a trivet.

              What is the difference from Light Porterhouse Oak?

              Light Porterhouse Oak, code K091FP, is a paler version of the same stave style. It is the reverse of the double-sided splashback, so you can use the lighter face behind the hob if you wish.

              What kitchen colours work with it?

              Cream and sage cabinets bring out the warmth, while grey and white give contrast. For a dark, moody look, pair it with charcoal units and black handles.

              Will an undermount sink work with this oak?

              No, because laminate has a chipboard core that a rough undermount cut-out would leave open to water. Fit an inset sink and seal the cut-out edge with silicone. This oak is not offered in compact.

              What is the best way to form a corner?

              Use a mason’s mitre cut with a worktop jig, or an aluminium joining strip if you prefer a straight cut. A mitre wants colour-matched joint sealant, with connector bolts to draw it closed.
