FAQs

What are the dimensions of the upstand?

Dimensions are standard for kitchen upstands; please refer to the product's specific technical specifications for exact measurements.

Can I cut the upstand to a custom size?

Yes, the laminate upstand can be cut to size using appropriate tools for laminate cutting. Ensure clean cuts to maintain the integrity of the material.

How do I clean the antibacterial surface?

The antibacterial properties work continuously. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the laminate.

What is covered by the lifetime guarantee?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and material faults under normal domestic use. It does not cover accidental damage or wear and tear from improper use.

Is this upstand heat resistant?

The laminate is resistant to typical kitchen heat, but direct contact with very hot items (like hot pans) should be avoided to prevent damage. Always use trivets or heat pads.

Can I use this with a granite worktop?

While designed for laminate worktops, it may be compatible with other materials if a suitable adhesive and installation method are used. Compatibility with non-laminate worktops should be verified.

Troubleshooting

Upstand not adhering properly

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust. Use the recommended adhesive and apply adequate pressure during installation. Allow sufficient curing time.

Visible seams or gaps

Ensure accurate measurements and precise cutting. Check if the worktop and upstand profiles match. Re-apply adhesive if necessary, ensuring full contact.

Surface scratches appear

Avoid placing hot pans directly on the surface or using sharp knives against it. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a laminate repair kit, following product instructions. For deep scratches, replacement might be necessary.

Discoloration or staining

Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid leaving acidic or abrasive substances on the surface for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves adhering the upstand to the wall and the back of the worktop using a suitable adhesive (often silicone sealant). Ensure the wall and worktop surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust before application. Measure and cut the upstand to size if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines for cutting laminate. The postformed edge should align with the profile of your worktop.

Compatibility: This upstand is designed to integrate with Options laminate worktops, breakfast bars, and splashbacks, as well as other compatible kitchen surfaces. Its standard dimensions and postformed edge suit most typical kitchen layouts.

Care: To maintain the appearance and hygiene of the upstand, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the laminate surface. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. Ensure the area around the join with the worktop remains dry.
