Light Cortona Laminate Worktop

A flowing grey marble with cloudy swirls and pale blue-grey patches across a large print. It is one of our marble effect worktops, with a 3mm rounded postformed front edge on 38mm thickness. The upstand and splashback repeat the pattern.

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 Light Cortona, 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 Light Cortona, 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 Light Cortona 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

              Warm soapy water lifts everyday marks from the surface; dry it with a soft cloth. Protect it from hot pans with a trivet, and slice on a board. No sealant coat is ever needed.

              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

              • Grey marble with movement

                Soft cloudy swirls run top to bottom, with lighter patches and darker streaks breaking through. It has real movement, closer to a quarried slab than a repeating tile.

              • Marble character without sealing

                Real marble stains and needs sealing. This laminate surface resists stains and everyday scratches, wipes clean with warm soapy water, and never needs a sealant coat.

              • A splashback that continues the pattern

                The 4100 x 640mm splashback lets the veining run up behind the hob. A 4100 x 120 x 19mm upstand covers the wall edge instead. Browse upstands and splashbacks.

              A statement marble for white or navy cabinets

              Light Cortona is the busier marble in the group. Pale handleless units let the swirls take over, while navy or charcoal doors give a calm contrast. Because the pattern moves, it works best across a long run rather than a few short returns. Fitters should lay lengths in the same direction. If you prefer a quieter marble, browse the other marble looks.

              How to fit

              Light Cortona is a 38mm postformed worktop in 3000mm and 4100mm lengths. The swirling pattern changes along the sheet, so check how each cut piece will sit before you commit the saw.

              0330 000 0000Email us
              How strong is the veining in Light Cortona?

              Fairly pronounced. Cloudy swirls run top to bottom with paler blue-grey patches and darker streaks, so the surface has plenty of movement. If you want something calmer, consider a plainer grey decor.

              Should I match the pattern across joints?

              Try to. The print is large and flowing, so facing every length the same way keeps the swirls feeling continuous. A mitred corner makes the veining appear to turn the corner.

              What sizes of breakfast bar are there?

              Choose a 670mm or 900mm depth, both at the full 4100mm length. The 3mm rounded front edge matches the standard worktop beside them.

              Which cabinet colours go with grey marble?

              White and pale grey let the swirls lead, while navy, charcoal or deep green offer contrast. Chrome, brushed steel and black handles all suit the cool tone.

              Can I fit an undermount sink in this marble look?

              No, because laminate has a chipboard core that would show at the cut-out. Pick an inset sink and seal the cut edge before you drop it in.

              Is the splashback the same pattern?

              Yes. The matching splashback is 4100 x 640mm and the upstand 4100 x 120 x 19mm, both printed in the same grey marble so the veining reads as one surface.
