Venato Compact Worktop

White marble with warm beige-grey veins sweeping on the diagonal, in Super Matt. This Venato 12mm compact worktop is solid right through, with a slim, light edge, and a 100mm upstand is listed alongside it, in the same decor, for the wall edge.

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 Venato, 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 Venato, 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 Venato 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

              Venato cleans with warm water and a little washing-up liquid on a soft cloth. Dry it after wiping, since white shows water spots, and keep hot pans on a trivet and chopping 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

              • White marble with warm veins

                Long beige-grey veins run diagonally through a white ground, softly blurred as they fade. It looks like a Venetian slab: bright, with warmth in the veining.

              • Super Matt on a dense board

                Super Matt is how the maker names this finish. Under it sits a solid compact board, so it takes an undermount sink and has no core to swell.

              • Venato in laminate and compact

                The laminate Venato comes in 38mm postformed and 22mm square edge, and a separate Gloss page covers other options. The compact is the slim, solid version.

              Light marble that warms a white kitchen

              Venato suits kitchens where plain white feels cold. The beige-grey veins sit well with oak, cream and sage, and they flatter brass or copper taps. The diagonal flow gives long runs a sense of movement, so it works on an island as well as along a wall. Trade buyers can specify the thin compact for slim islands and the laminate elsewhere.

              How to fit

              Fitting Venato

              Venato has diagonal veins with a clear flow, so lay lengths the same way and line the veins up across a joint. The 12mm board is bonded with adhesive and the compact kit, not screwed to the units.

              What dimensions does Venato come in?

              Venato is supplied as 4100mm long, 12mm thick lengths, in depths of 650mm, 950mm and 1300mm. The 950mm piece is the breakfast bar and 1300mm is the full sheet.

              Does Venato work with an undermount sink?

              Yes, because the compact board is solid. The cut-out edge is polished and exposed. The laminate Venato versions need inset sinks.

              Which Venato should I pick, compact or laminate?

              Pick compact for a slim 12mm edge and an undermount bowl. Choose laminate, in 38mm postformed or 22mm square edge, for a thicker front.

              What cabinet colours go with warm veining?

              Sage, cream, navy and charcoal all work well. Brass, copper and warm bronze handles pick up the beige-grey veins in the surface.

              Do the veins match across a joint?

              They can if you lay both lengths the same way and join where veins meet. The soft blur of the veins hides small differences.

              Is there a splashback or upstand?

              There is a 100mm tall upstand in Venato, 4100mm long. A splashback is not made in this decor, so tiles or paint go above it.
