White Star Astro Laminate Worktop

White Star Astro is a white decor listed in the sparkle collection, so expect a little light play on the surface, though we describe no flecks. This laminate worktop has a square edge in 40mm or 25mm, 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 White Star Astro, 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 White Star Astro, 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 White Star Astro 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

              A cloth wrung out in warm water with mild detergent keeps White Star Astro bright. Dry it to avoid water spots on a white surface. Do not use scouring pads or bleach-based powders.

              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 with a touch of sparkle

                The name gives us white, and the range lists it with the sparkle decors. We do not describe the flecks themselves, so use the product photos to see how the light catches the surface.

              • High-pressure laminate for daily use

                A laminate face over chipboard wipes clean with warm soapy water and resists everyday stains and scratches. White shows marks quickly, so wipe spills promptly. No sealing is needed.

              • Worktop, upstand and panel line up

                The 3600mm worktop matches the 3600 x 125mm upstand and the 3600 x 350mm utility panel in length. A 3000 x 1200mm splashback and a 5000mm edging roll complete it.

              A bright, easy-to-live-with white

              White sparkle decors suit compact kitchens, kitchenettes and salon-style utility spaces, where you want a clean, bright surface. At 3600mm, the boards are easier to carry through tight halls and stairwells than the 4000mm lengths in much of the range. Pair with grey, navy or pastel cabinets and chrome handles. The 25mm option keeps a slim profile, and the 40mm option adds a firmer front edge.

              How to fit

              Fitting White Star Astro

              White Star Astro is supplied in 3600mm lengths, so measure carefully and plan joins to suit. Both 40mm and 25mm boards have a square edge, so every cut end needs colour-matched edging before you seal it.

              0330 000 0000Email us
              Why is White Star Astro in the sparkle collection?

              The range lists it with the sparkle decors. We do not describe how it glitters, so look at the product photos to judge how much light it catches.

              How long are the boards?

              They are 3600mm long, a little shorter than most TopShape decors. Depths are 650mm and 900mm, and thicknesses are 40mm and 25mm.

              Will it make a small kitchen feel brighter?

              White surfaces reflect light, so it can help in compact or dim rooms. The effect depends on the room, and the sparkle detail shows best in daylight.

              What units and handles flatter a white top?

              Soft grey, navy, sage and dove tones all work with white, and chrome or black handles complete a clean scheme.

              Can I join it with the matching upstand easily?

              Yes. The 3600mm upstand matches the worktop length, so a single piece covers the wall behind a full board. Seal the joint along the top and bottom.

              Is it suitable for a hair salon or shop counter?

              The laminate suits light commercial counters as well as homes, with a square edge and wipe-clean surface. Support any overhang properly for the thickness chosen.
