Highland Oak Laminate Worktop

Highland Oak is a TopShape wood effect named after the oak it imitates. This oak effect worktop is a laminate kitchen worktop with a decorative square edge, laminated both sides. It comes in 40mm or 25mm, in 4000mm lengths, with matching trims to go with it.

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 Highland 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 Highland 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 Highland 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.

              Care and cleaning

              Wipe with warm soapy water and dry along the direction of the grain print. Avoid abrasive pads. A trivet should sit under any pan fresh from the hob.

              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

              • An oak look for long walls

                The decor is an oak effect in laminate, with the front edge carrying the same look. Judge the exact tone and grain against your cabinets in daylight before you order.

              • A decorative edge that carries the print

                Laminate on both sides of the square edge keeps the wood look at the front. The chipboard core inside means every cut end needs its edging strip.

              • Complete the set in Highland Oak

                Matching pieces are a 3600 x 125 x 18mm upstand and a 3000 x 1200 x 8mm backsplash. A utility panel measures 3600 x 350 x 18mm, and edging comes on a 5000mm roll.

              Oak for open-plan living and larger kitchens

              The 4000mm length covers a long wall in one piece, which suits open-plan rooms where joints would be conspicuous. The 900mm-deep top gives a generous island. Oak effect fits shaker and handleless kitchens alike. Pair it with painted units in grey, green or white, and use the utility panel to carry the same wood look into a boot room or pantry.

              How to fit

              Highland Oak comes in 4000mm lengths with a 40mm or 25mm square edge. A long wood effect top shows its grain direction, so plan every length to run the same way before you pick up a saw.

              0330 000 0000Email us
              What shade is Highland Oak?

              It is an oak effect, and the exact tone is best judged in person. View the decor in daylight against your cabinets before ordering a full run.

              What lengths and depths are listed?

              Tops are 4000mm long in 650mm or 900mm depth, available in 40mm and 25mm thickness, each with a decorative square edge.

              Can I fit a long run without a joint?

              A 4000mm top covers most single walls in one piece. Where you need a joint, use connector bolts and colour-matched sealant.

              Do trims match the worktop?

              Yes: a 3600 x 125 x 18mm upstand, a 3000 x 1200 x 8mm backsplash and a 3600 x 350 x 18mm utility panel are listed in the same oak.

              Is it suitable for a kitchen island?

              The 900mm-deep top gives a wide surface for an island. Support it properly underneath, and seal any hob or sink cut-out.

              How does it compare with the other TopShape oaks?

              Highland Oak, Safari Oak and Light Walnut share sizes and edge. They differ in name and tone, so compare them side by side before choosing.
