FAQs

What is the upstand made of?

The upstand is made of durable laminate, designed to look and feel like real wood.

How do I clean the upstand?

Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

Can I use this upstand with any worktop?

While it can be used with other worktops, it is designed to match perfectly with the Wilsonart Mountain Oak worktops and breakfast bars.

How do I cut the upstand?

Use a saw suitable for cutting laminate. Ensure cuts are clean and precise for a professional finish.

What adhesive should I use?

Use a suitable construction adhesive or silicone sealant.

Is the upstand waterproof?

The upstand provides a degree of water resistance, but it is not completely waterproof. Sealing the edges is recommended.

What is the Wooden Heart texture?

It is a natural-looking texture of the wood.

What if the color doesn't match the worktop?

Color matching can vary slightly between batches. It is recommended to purchase the worktop and upstand at the same time, if possible.

Troubleshooting

Upstand is not adhering properly to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for the materials. Apply sufficient adhesive and hold the upstand in place for the recommended time.

Gaps are visible between the upstand and the wall/worktop.

Ensure the wall is level. Use sealant to fill any gaps. Apply the sealant evenly.

The upstand is scratched or damaged.

Minor scratches can sometimes be repaired with a laminate repair kit. For more significant damage, consider replacing the affected section of the upstand.
