Oak Castell Laminate Worktop

A mid-brown oak effect with broad cathedral grain, a dark knot and hairline splits that read as aged timber, the kind of character you usually pay for in solid wood. This is a square edge laminate worktop in 38mm or slim 22mm, supplied in full 3050mm lengths with a matching upstand and splashback.

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 Oak Castell, 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 Oak Castell, 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 Oak Castell 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.

              Delivery

              Delivered by our specialist worktop delivery partner, in full lengths, flat and protected. Delivery is free to every postcode we serve. Order by 4pm Monday to Friday for next working day delivery to most of England and Wales; orders placed after 4pm, at weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day, and some areas take 2 to 3 working days. Check your date below. We confirm your slot 24 hours before, and delivery is kerbside, so have a second person ready to carry it in.
              Returns

              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 with warm soapy water and dry the surface afterwards. A deep brown shows chalky limescale marks sooner than a pale oak, so clear splashes from the kettle spot promptly. Rest hot pans on a trivet and chop on a board.

              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

              • Aged-timber grain with a knot and splits

                The print shows broad cathedral figures in mid-brown oak, with one dark knot and thin splits running through the grain. It gives a new kitchen a lived-in, rustic feel.

              • Hard-wearing surface, finish code AN

                The high-pressure laminate resists stains and everyday scratches and never needs sealing. Finish code AN sits over a chipboard core, so a trivet and a chopping board still earn their place.

              • Upstand, splashback and bar top to match

                The same print comes as a 3000 x 100 x 20mm upstand and a 3000 x 600 x 6mm splashback. A 38mm breakfast bar at 3050 x 900mm completes the set.

              Rustic oak for painted and handleless kitchens

              A dark, characterful oak gives a painted kitchen something to lean on. Set it against cream, sage or dusty blue units and the knot and splits add a sense of age. It is equally at home in a boot room or utility room, where a deeper tone is forgiving of daily traffic. Landlords and fitters get a 3m contract decor that still looks considered.

              How to fit

              Fitting Oak Castell

              Oak Castell is square edged in 38mm and 22mm, so every cut end needs edging and corners can be butt-jointed. Plan the run before you cut: the grain runs along the length, and the knots look best away from joints.

              What you’ll need

              Most homes have these already:

              • Pencil
              • Drill driver
              • Circular saw or jigsaw
              • Straight edge or spirit level

              Which lengths and depths can I order in Oak Castell?

              In 38mm you can have the standard 3050 x 620mm worktop or a deeper 3050 x 900mm breakfast bar. The 22mm option is limited to the 3050 x 620mm worktop.

              Will Oak Castell work in a utility room?

              Yes. The mid-dark tone hides daily wear well, and the 22mm option keeps a laundry run light-looking. Seal every cut end and the sink cut-out so moisture stays out of the core.

              When should I choose 22mm over 38mm?

              Pick 22mm for a slimmer front edge and a lighter, more modern line. Pick 38mm for a chunkier edge and the breakfast bar. The print and finish code AN are identical on both.

              Which cabinet colours suit this oak?

              Cream, sage green and dusty blue units all sit well against the brown. Black or aged-brass handles echo the dark knot, while white units give a clean contrast.

              Is there an upstand and splashback in the same decor?

              Yes, both are printed to match. The upstand runs 3000mm and stands 100mm high, and the 6mm splashback is 600mm high. Use the upstand to seal the wall joint and the splashback behind a hob.

              Can I fit an undermount sink in this worktop?

              Not with laminate. Water at an unsealed cut-out would reach the chipboard, so choose an inset sink and seal the cut edges thoroughly with silicone.
