Fossil Arosa Laminate Worktop

A cloudy, mottled mid-grey with darker patches drifting through it, like weathered stone. This laminate worktop has a crisp square edge in 38mm and pairs with a matching upstand and splashback. It suits kitchens that want a quiet, grounded surface.

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 Fossil Arosa, 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 Fossil Arosa, 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: Dovetail Arosa 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 Fossil Arosa 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.

              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

              Wipe the Pluton surface with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, then dry it. Keep abrasive pads away from it. Rest hot pans on a trivet, and keep the knife work to a board.

              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

              • Soft grey clouds, no hard pattern

                The grey shifts from lighter to darker in broad, hazy patches. There are no sharp veins or flecks to line up, so the surface reads as calm even across a long run.

              • Pluton finish, sealed under laminate

                A high-pressure laminate skin sits over a chipboard core. Spills wipe off with warm soapy water, light scratches rarely show, and the top needs no sealing. Cut ends do need the edging strip.

              • Dovetail Arosa on the splashback reverse

                The 4100 x 640 x 10mm splashback is double-sided with Dovetail Arosa (K538 PN). Add the 100mm upstand, or a 12mm compact Fossil Arosa for a sink area.

              A neutral grey for both light and dark units

              Mid-grey is easy to live with because it sits between pale and dark cabinets without competing. Try it with warm white doors for a soft, tonal kitchen, or with deep blue units for contrast. The cloudy pattern also forgives crumbs and small marks better than a plain, flat colour. Fitters like it for the same reason: there is no direction to match at a joint.

              How to fit

              Fitting Fossil Arosa

              Fossil Arosa is a 38mm square-edge worktop, so every cut end needs the matching 43mm edging strip. Lay the lengths out, mark your cuts, and keep the factory edge facing the room.

              What you’ll need

              Most homes have these already:

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

              0330 000 0000Email us
              What lengths can I get, and are there bars for an island?

              Standard worktops are 600mm deep and arrive in 3000mm or 4100mm lengths, all 38mm thick. For an island, pick a 4100mm breakfast bar at 665mm or 900mm deep. This decor is not made in 22mm.

              How do I finish the cut ends?

              Use the matching ABS edging strip, 1300 x 43 x 1.5mm. Iron or glue it onto the cut end and file it flush so the chipboard core is covered and the grey carries round the edge.

              Can a sink sit under the worktop rather than in it?

              Not with the laminate, as the cut edge of the core would be exposed to water. Choose an inset sink instead, or take the 12mm compact Fossil Arosa, which is solid all the way through.

              Which decor is printed on the splashback reverse?

              Each splashback has two faces. One shows Fossil Arosa and the other shows Dovetail Arosa, code K538 PN. At 4100 x 640 x 10mm, it can be fixed with whichever face suits the room.

              Do dark or light cabinets suit this grey better?

              Both work. Charcoal and navy doors make the grey look lighter and softer. White or pale stone doors give a low-contrast, tonal kitchen where the cloudy pattern becomes the quiet feature.

              Will the pattern hide marks in a busy family kitchen?

              The hazy mid-grey hides crumbs and light smears better than a plain pale surface does. Wipe spills promptly with soapy water. The laminate does not need sealing, but a trivet is still wise for hot pans.
