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 Sonoma Oak Light, 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 Sonoma Oak Light, 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 Sonoma Oak Light 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

              Light oak shows crumbs and tea rings more readily than a dark decor, so wipe up as you go with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry the surface to avoid streaks. Keep a board under the knife and a trivet under 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

              • Cream oak with a straight, even run

                The grain is long and nearly vertical across the pale ground, broken by fine horizontal marks like sawn timber. It reads soft and calm rather than knotty.

              • Finish code AT for daily use

                Laminate in finish code AT resists stains and everyday scratches, and the top never needs sealing. Because the core is chipboard, every cut end needs its edging strip.

              • Trims cut from the same print

                Sonoma Oak Light has a 3000 x 100 x 20mm upstand and a 3000 x 600 x 6mm splashback. A 3050 x 900mm breakfast bar in 38mm is also listed.

              A light oak for small and rented kitchens

              Pale oak bounces daylight around a compact room, which is why it suits flats, galley kitchens and first refits. White, light grey or soft sage units keep the scheme airy, while charcoal fronts give a modern contrast. Landlords and fitters will find one thickness and one depth easy to specify across several properties, and the studio Contract lengths keep the job simple.

              Sonoma Oak Light is a single 38mm square edge option, so planning is straightforward. Pencil lines show on the pale surface, so mark the cut on masking tape and keep the grain running the same direction along the run.

              What are the dimensions of this pale oak?

              Sonoma Oak Light is sold as a single 38mm square edge worktop, 3050mm long and 620mm deep, plus a bar top that is 900mm deep. A 22mm version is not listed.

              How does Sonoma Oak Light compare with a darker oak?

              It reflects far more light and shows a finer, straighter grain with no large knots. A dark oak feels rustic and heavy by comparison, so choose this one for small or north-facing rooms.

              Is Sonoma Oak Light a sensible pick for a rental?

              It is a sensible choice for rentals. The finish resists stains and everyday scratches, the neutral tone suits most tenants, and replacement lengths and trims stay in the same decor.

              How do I join two lengths at a corner?

              Butt the lengths together with connector bolts under the worktop and colour-matched joint sealant on the seam. A mitre cut with a worktop jig is another route on a 38mm top.

              Which handles and units go with pale oak?

              White and sage units are classic partners, and brushed steel, black or oak handles all work. Navy fronts make the pale grain look especially crisp.

              Does a matching upstand come in the same decor?

              Yes. The upstand is 3000 x 100 x 20mm, and a 3000 x 600 x 6mm splashback is available for behind the hob or sink.
