FAQs

What material is the Options Plus Kitchen Upstand made from?

The upstand is constructed from laminate with a postformed finish, designed to mimic a granite texture.

How do I clean the Granite Beige upstand?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used for tougher marks, followed by rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I cut the upstand to fit my specific kitchen dimensions?

Yes, the upstand can be cut to size using appropriate tools for laminate materials. Ensure you measure accurately before cutting.

What is the primary purpose of a kitchen upstand?

A kitchen upstand serves to protect your wall from splashes, stains, and general wear and tear that occurs behind a worktop.

Is this upstand waterproof?

The laminate surface is water-resistant, and when properly sealed with silicone, it provides effective protection against splashes. However, it is not designed for submersion in water.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Can this upstand be installed on any wall surface?

It is best installed on a smooth, clean, and dry wall. Ensure the wall is suitable for adhesive application.

Troubleshooting

Upstand appears uneven or wavy after installation.

Ensure the wall surface is flat and properly prepared before installation. Check that the adhesive is applied evenly and the upstand is firmly pressed into place.

Water or moisture seeping behind the upstand.

Reapply a fresh, continuous bead of silicone sealant along the joint between the worktop and upstand, and where the upstand meets the wall. Ensure there are no gaps.

Scratches or minor damage to the surface.

While scratch-resistant, deep scratches may be difficult to remove. For minor surface marks, try a specialized laminate cleaner or a non-abrasive polish. Avoid using sharp objects near the upstand.

Difficulty cutting the upstand cleanly.

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw designed for laminate or wood. Ensure the upstand is securely supported during cutting and cut with a smooth, consistent motion to prevent chipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances kitchen aesthetics with a realistic granite look.
  • Provides effective protection against splashes and stains.
  • Simple to clean and maintain due to the laminate finish.
  • Durable and scratch-resistant for everyday kitchen use.
  • Versatile design fits both modern and traditional interiors.

Cons

  • Fixed dimensions (3000 x 100 x 20mm) may require cutting for specific installations.
  • Requires proper installation to ensure a watertight seal.
  • Laminate can be susceptible to damage from extreme heat or sharp objects if not protected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This upstand is designed to be fitted directly onto the wall behind a kitchen worktop, typically using a suitable adhesive or sealant recommended for laminate surfaces. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust before application. Cut the upstand to the required length using appropriate tools for laminate materials. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant along the top edge of the worktop and the bottom edge of the upstand where it meets the wall to create a watertight seal.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard kitchen worktops. It is intended for indoor kitchen use.

Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the laminate surface. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining. Do not place hot pans directly onto the upstand.
