Grey Sonoma Oak Laminate Worktop

A pale, warm-grey oak with open vertical pores and the occasional darker patch at the board edge. Fit it as a 38mm postformed worktop or a slim 20mm square edge one, and match the wall with an upstand or splashback in the same grain.

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 Grey Sonoma 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.

    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 Grey Sonoma 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

      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 Sonoma 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 grain with warm soapy water, which clears most marks from the open pattern. Dry any standing water at the sink edge. Protect the surface from hot pans with 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.

              • Breakfast bars are deeper: 665mm or 900mm, for islands and overhangs.

              Why you’ll love it

              • Light grey-taupe oak with open pores

                The tone sits between grey and sand, with long vertical pores and soft variation from board to board. A few darker patches add character without breaking the calm.

              • Finish code RT, no oiling needed

                Duropal makes Grey Sonoma Oak in finish code RT. The laminate face resists stains and everyday scratches, so you get the look of weathered oak without the upkeep.

              • Slim or classic, same board pattern

                A 20mm top suits a lean modern kitchen, and a 38mm postformed top suits a traditional one. The 4100 x 120 x 19mm upstand and 4100 x 640mm splashback match both.

              Soft grey oak for light, airy kitchens

              This is the oak to choose when natural wood feels too yellow and plain grey feels too cold. It lifts white and cream units, calms a dark green or navy island, and gives a Scandinavian look with black or brushed handles. Because the board pattern is open and varied, it hides light dust and small marks well, which helps in rental properties and busy family kitchens.

              Questions about Grey Sonoma Oak

              Can’t find your answer? Contact our worktop team.

              0330 000 0000Email us
              Is Grey Sonoma Oak more grey or more brown?

              It is a warm grey-taupe, lighter than most oak decors. In daylight it leans toward grey, and under warm bulbs a hint of sand appears.

              Which edge should I choose, 38mm or 20mm?

              Choose 38mm for a rounded front with no seam and a traditional depth. Choose 20mm for a slim, flat, laser-edged front and a lighter-looking room.

              Does it have a 12mm compact version?

              No, only the laminate versions are made. If you want an undermount sink, look at the compact collection, otherwise use an inset sink with this decor.

              How deep are the Grey Sonoma Oak island bars?

              At 38mm the bars are 670mm and 900mm deep, and at 20mm a 900mm bar is available. Each is 4.1m long, so one piece can span an island.

              How does it differ from Wellington Oak?

              Wellington Oak is deeper and more weathered, with rougher plank lines and visible knots. Grey Sonoma Oak is lighter, with a soft, even pore pattern.

              Can I mitre a corner on the 38mm top?

              Yes, using a worktop jig and router, or you can use an aluminium joining strip. On the 20mm version corners are butt-jointed with connector bolts and sealant.
