Pietra Dark Concrete Solid Surface Worktop

A plain, even, cool grey with no veining or flecks, Dark Concrete gives you a minimal concrete effect in 25mm solid surface. Its quiet tone suits modern kitchens, with 3050mm worktops, a 900mm-deep bar and a matching upstand.

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 Pietra Dark Concrete, 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 Pietra Dark Concrete, 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 Pietra Dark Concrete 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 is all this smooth grey needs day to day. Because it has no pattern, a scratch can stand out, so buff it with the care kit pads before it spreads. A trivet protects the surface from hot pans.

              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

              • A smooth, even cool grey

                The surface is one flat grey with a very soft, cloudless finish and no veining. That plainness is the point, giving a restrained concrete look that fits minimal kitchens.

              • Colour runs right through

                Without a pattern to hide behind, a solid colour needs a body that stays level. Here the grey is cast through 25mm, so the care kit pads can polish a mark away.

              • Worktop, bar and upstand

                The upstand is 3050 x 100 x 12mm, the bar is 2000 x 900 x 25mm, and both match. See breakfast bars for island options.

              The calm grey for modern kitchens

              Concrete looks suit kitchens where the cabinets do the talking. Dark Concrete works with handleless white, matt black or pale oak units, and pairs well with steel, glass and plain tiles. For landlords and fitters, a flat grey is a dependable specification. It sits well beside nearly any wall colour a tenant might choose and keeps the finish consistent along a long run.

              Is Dark Concrete really dark?

              The swatch shows a mid-tone, cool grey with no veining, which looks darker than white but lighter than charcoal. Check it against your cabinet colours before ordering.

              Does it have a pattern or grain?

              No. It is an even grey with a very fine surface texture and no flecks, so there is no direction to match when you join lengths.

              Which handles suit a concrete effect?

              Matt black, brushed steel and plain white handles all work, and a handleless door keeps the look cleanest. Oak handles add warmth against the grey.

              What are the available sizes?

              A worktop is 3050 x 650 x 25mm and a breakfast bar is 2000 x 900 x 25mm. The matching upstand is 3050 x 100 x 12mm.

              Is a plain grey wise for a let property?

              Yes, a plain grey suits most tenants, and the solid material means no chipboard to swell. Joints should be bonded by a fitter who works with solid surface.

              How is Light Concrete different?

              Light Concrete is paler and carries a fine speckle, while Dark Concrete is a deeper, plainer grey. Both share the same sizes and upstand.
