The Zenith Pokhara Marble Upstand is designed for homeowners seeking an elegant and practical solution to protect their kitchen walls from splashes. Its key benefit is providing durable splash protection with a seamless, sophisticated look. A minor consideration is that while easy to install, proper sealing might be required for optimal water resistance in very damp environments. This upstand features a slim profile, a distinctive Pokhara Marble effect, and is constructed from robust compact laminate, offering a continuous three-metre length to minimize joints.

The upstand is crafted from durable compact laminate, providing a long-lasting and robust finish.
Each upstand measures three metres in length, designed to offer coverage with minimal joints.
While the laminate material itself is resistant to moisture, its waterproof capabilities depend heavily on the quality and integrity of the sealant applied during installation. Ensure all edges are properly sealed.
Yes, the upstand can be cut to size using appropriate tools for laminate materials. Ensure cuts are clean and edges are finished properly.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals.
The 'Pokhara Marble' effect is a decorative laminate finish designed to mimic the appearance of natural marble. It offers a similar aesthetic at a lower cost and with different maintenance requirements compared to real stone.
The upstand is designed for easy installation, making it suitable for DIY projects. However, if you are unsure, professional installation is always an option.
Ensure the wall and worktop surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality, appropriate adhesive or sealant for laminate materials and allow adequate curing time. Ensure the upstand is held firmly in place during the initial bonding period.
Check if the wall surface is perfectly flat. Minor imperfections can be addressed with a suitable flexible sealant. If the gap is significant, consider adding a thin trim piece or re-evaluating the installation surface.
For minor surface scratches, check if a specialized laminate repair kit is available. For general marks, use only soft cloths and mild cleaning agents. Avoid abrasive materials at all costs.
This indicates a failure in the sealant. Carefully remove the affected sealant, dry the area thoroughly, and re-apply a high-quality, waterproof sealant to all edges, ensuring a continuous and complete seal.
Setup:
Compatibility:
The Zenith Pokhara Marble Upstand is designed to fit most standard kitchen worktops and wall configurations. It is compatible with a wide range of cabinet styles and countertop materials. For optimal performance, ensure the wall behind the upstand is sound and dry.
Care:
Cleaning is straightforward. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that could damage the laminate surface. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive household cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Regularly inspect the seals between the upstand, worktop, and wall to ensure their integrity.
