Gold Craft Oak Laminate Worktop

A rich golden oak with broad cathedral grain, small knots and fine hairline cracks, in the Kronospan Fine Pore texture. This 38mm postformed laminate worktop is a characterful choice for a larger kitchen, and it comes with a matching upstand and splashback for the walls.

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 Gold Craft 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 Gold Craft 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: Black Flint 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 Gold Craft 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.

              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 along the grain with warm soapy water, and dry it off. The texture is shallow, so a soft cloth is enough. Rest hot pans on a trivet, and keep a board for the knife.

              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.
              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

              • Golden oak with real character

                This swatch has wide cathedral arches, dark knots and hairline splits across a deep golden ground. It looks like planed timber that has been lived with, not a smooth, even veneer.

              • Fine Pore texture, no oiling

                Finish FP is Fine Pore, a delicate timber texture. The laminate resists stains and everyday scratches, and never needs the oiling that real oak asks for.

              • A bold reverse in Black Flint

                The double-sided splashback has Gold Craft Oak on one face and Black Flint (K210PE) on the other. The 22mm upstand runs 4100mm, and breakfast bars take the same grain.

              Farmhouse warmth for shaker and cottage kitchens

              Gold Craft Oak has enough grain to hold its own beside painted shaker doors. Sage, cream, duck-egg blue and deep green all sit well against its golden tone. The knots and cracks make it a good fit for a country or cottage kitchen, where a perfectly even finish would look out of place. A long island in this oak anchors a room.

              How to fit

              Fitting Gold Craft Oak

              The cathedral grain in Gold Craft Oak is broad and distinctive, so matching it across a joint takes care. Lay the 38mm boards out in order and rotate them until the arches sit comfortably together.

              Questions about Gold Craft Oak

              0330 000 0000Email us
              Will the knots look the same on every board?

              No. Each length carries a printed pattern with its own arches and knots, so lay boards out in order and rotate them until the grain at every joint flows naturally.

              What lengths and bar depths are made in this oak?

              Worktops are 3000 or 4100mm long and 600mm deep, all at 38mm. Bars run to 4100mm, in depths of 665mm or 900mm. Every board has a 3mm radius front edge.

              Does it suit painted shaker cabinets?

              Very well. Sage, cream, duck-egg and forest green all bring out the golden tone, while black or aged brass handles make the grain look sharper.

              What does the splashback reverse look like?

              The double-sided splashback has Black Flint, code K210PE, on its second face. It is a strong contrast, so choose which face suits your kitchen scheme.

              Can I use it with an inset sink?

              An inset sink is fine in laminate. Cut the opening and seal every raw edge with silicone before fitting the sink. Undermount sinks are not suited to laminate.

              How does it compare with Stone Oak?

              Stone Oak is calmer, with a straight grain and a lighter honey tone. Gold Craft Oak is deeper, with arches, knots and fine cracks, so it looks more rustic.
