Grey Albus Laminate Worktop

A warm mid-grey with a fine, even speckle, close to the look of honed natural stone. These laminate worktops come in 38mm or slim 22mm with a crisp square edge. Choose the thickness that suits your cabinets and your taste for a chunky or lighter profile.

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 Grey Albus, 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 Grey Albus, 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: Galaxus 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 Grey Albus 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.

              Care and cleaning

              Pluton laminate wipes clean with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid. Avoid scouring pads and harsh cleaners. A quick dry-off stops limescale spots from showing on the speckled grey.

              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

              • Fine speckle on a warm grey ground

                Tiny flecks of lighter and darker grey sit on a base with a hint of warmth. Up close it feels grainy, like sandstone. From across the room it settles into an even, quiet grey.

              • A Pluton finish that wipes clean

                Grey Albus has a high-pressure laminate top over a chipboard core. Stains and light scratches are kept at bay, and sealing is never required. Heat and blades are the enemies, so use a trivet and a board.

              • Two thicknesses, one grey

                Choose 38mm for a solid look or 22mm for a slimmer edge. A single 100mm upstand and a double-sided splashback serve both, and Galaxus appears on the splashback reverse.

              Why the 22mm option suits this grey

              A thin edge looks sharp in a contemporary room, and Grey Albus has just enough texture to hold interest at that scale. Slim 22mm is also easier to handle for a first-time fitter and works well over sturdy cabinet frames. For a heavier, more traditional presence, the 38mm version carries the same grey with a deeper front edge, so you can match the profile to the room.

              How to fit

              Fitting Grey Albus

              Grey Albus comes in 38mm at 600mm deep and 22mm at 620mm deep. The two need different edging strips, so check which thickness you have before you order trims for the cut ends.

              What you’ll need

              0330 000 0000Email us
              How do the 38mm and 22mm versions differ?

              Both share the same decor and square edge. The 38mm worktop is 600mm deep and looks chunkier. The 22mm one is 620mm deep, comes in 4100mm lengths only, and gives a lighter, slimmer line.

              Can I get a breakfast bar in slim 22mm?

              Yes, one size. The 22mm breakfast bar is 4100mm long and 900mm deep. In 38mm you have a choice of 665mm or 900mm depths. Each is supplied as a full length for you or your fitter to trim.

              Which edging strip fits which thickness?

              The 43mm ABS strip (1300 x 43 x 1.5mm) goes on 38mm worktops. The 28mm strip (1300 x 28 x 1.5mm) is for 22mm. Both match the Grey Albus colour and finish cut ends neatly.

              What sits on the reverse of the splashback?

              The 4100 x 640 x 10mm splashback is double-sided, with Galaxus (K553 SU) on the back. Galaxus is near-black, so the reverse gives you a strong contrast if you want one.

              Is it suitable for an undermount sink?

              No, laminate needs an inset sink. The chipboard core would be exposed on a cut undermount edge. Seal the inset cut-out thoroughly with the edging strip or silicone before the sink goes in.

              Which cabinet colours go with Grey Albus?

              Sage green and soft blue-grey units sit well with its warm tone. White doors keep it light, while black handles add definition. Avoid cold, blue-white lighting if you want the warmth to show.
