Ristretto Baroque Oak Laminate Worktop

A dark, espresso-brown oak effect printed as rough planks, with knots, fine splits and a lot of character, a little like reclaimed barn timber. This laminate worktop is a 38mm square edge board, with breakfast bars, a 20mm upstand and a double-sided splashback to match.

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 Ristretto Baroque 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.

    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 Ristretto Baroque 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

      It's double-sided: Amber Baroque Oak is on the reverse, so you can choose which way round to fit it.

      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 Ristretto Baroque 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.

            Read the full fitting guide

            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 along the planks with a cloth and warm soapy water, then dry. Dark wood decors can show chalky water marks, so buff them away. A trivet takes the heat from pans better than the surface does.

              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

              • Dark brown planks with knots and splits

                Narrow planks in deep chocolate and espresso run side by side, with knots, fine splits and lighter flecks across the grain. It looks like reclaimed timber that has aged slowly in a barn.

              • Rift Wood texture

                Kronospan’s Rift Wood finish adds a straight-grain feel to the print. The laminate resists stains and everyday scratches, and you will not need to oil or sand it as you would real oak.

              • Amber Baroque Oak on the back

                The 4100 x 640 x 10mm splashback is printed on both faces, with Amber Baroque Oak, code K536RW, on its reverse. The upstand is 4100 x 100 x 20mm.

              Rustic depth for farmhouse and industrial rooms

              This dark oak grounds a kitchen. It looks right under cream and sage doors, against exposed brick, or with black steel fittings in a loft-style room. The flat square edge gives the rough-sawn pattern a cleaner, more modern finish than a rounded nosing would. Amber Baroque Oak on the splashback reverse supplies a lighter timber if you want warmth behind the hob.

              How to fit

              Fitting Ristretto Baroque Oak

              Ristretto Baroque Oak has a flat ABS front edge on 38mm board, so corners are butt-jointed with connector bolts and sealant. Plank lines run along the length, so line them up across joints and finish cut ends with the 43mm strip.

              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 buy?

              Worktops are 38mm thick and 600mm deep, in 3000mm or 4100mm lengths. Breakfast bars measure 4100mm in length and come either 665mm or 900mm front to back. All carry a flat square edge.

              Is the grain rough to the touch?

              The Rift Wood texture gives a straight-grain feel that follows the printed planks. It is a laminate surface, so it still wipes clean, with none of the splinters or roughness of reclaimed timber.

              What does Amber Baroque Oak look like?

              It is the lighter, warmer oak printed on the reverse of the splashback, code K536RW. Choose it behind the hob if you want amber timber above a dark worktop.

              Which cabinet colours suit very dark oak?

              Cream, sage, putty and soft white give lift, while black or navy units make a deep, moody room. Brass, black iron and brushed steel fittings all look good.

              How are cut ends finished?

              Use the colour-matched 1300 x 43 x 1.5mm ABS strip. Iron it on with household heat, file it flush, and seal around all cut-outs with silicone so water cannot reach the chipboard.

              Could this have an undermount sink?

              Not with laminate, because the cut would leave raw chipboard open to moisture. Fit an inset sink and seal its opening. A compact 12mm option is not listed for this decor.
