Jet Laminate Worktop

A plain, solid black with no grain or pattern, giving a sharp and graphic surface for modern kitchens. It is a postformed laminate worktop with a 6mm radius edge in 38mm or 28mm, sitting among the black and dark worktops.

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 Jet, 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 Jet, 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 Jet 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

              Black shows dust, fingerprints and limescale, so wipe with warm soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads. A trivet keeps hot pans off the surface.

              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

              • Solid black, no pattern

                The surface is one even black with no veining, grain or fleck. It reads as bold and minimal, and it frames white or pale cabinets like a dark picture frame.

              • A wrapped front edge, finish BS

                The laminate wraps over a 6mm radius edge, so no seam sits at the front. With finish code BS, stains and everyday scratches are kept at bay and sealing is never needed.

              • Matching black trims

                A 3000 x 100 x 20mm upstand and 3000 x 600 x 6mm splashback come in the same black. A 3050 x 900mm breakfast bar is available in 38mm.

              Graphic black for modern and monochrome kitchens

              Black worktops make a strong line against white, pale grey or light wood cabinets, and they look sharp with brushed steel taps. In a landlord refit the plain colour needs no pattern matching, and the 3m contract lengths are simple to specify. Expect to see crumbs and dust on a dark surface, so it suits people who wipe as they go.

              How to fit

              Fitting Jet

              Jet is postformed with a 6mm radius, in 38mm and 28mm. A plain black surface shows every scuff from cutting, so protect the face and clean dust off before you move on.

              Is Jet a true black?

              Jet is a plain black decor with no visible grain, pattern or fleck, so it reads as one even dark tone. It sits among the dark decors in the range.

              How thick and deep is this worktop?

              Choose 38mm or 28mm, each 3050mm long and 600mm deep. The breakfast bar is available in 38mm and offers 900mm of depth for seating overhang.

              Will it show marks?

              Dark surfaces show crumbs, dust and water marks sooner than patterned ones. A quick dry wipe after cleaning keeps Jet looking even.

              What colour units look best with it?

              White, pale grey and sage give crisp contrast, while navy or black units create a deep, tonal room. Metal handles in steel or brass look sharp.

              How do I deal with corners?

              Cut a mason mitre with a worktop jig, or lay an aluminium joining strip across the joint. Both suit the rounded front edge.

              Is Jet a smart pick for a laundry run?

              Yes. The laminate resists stains, and the plain black brings a smart look to a laundry run. Seal all ends and the sink cut-out against moisture.
