Troubleshooting

Upstand is not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality, appropriate adhesive and apply even pressure during installation. Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.

Visible seams between sections

Accurate cutting and a precise fit are crucial. For longer runs, ensure the adhesive is applied correctly along the entire length and press firmly. Consider using a sealant designed for countertop joints if minor gaps persist.

Surface appears dull or stained

Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for laminate surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools. For stubborn marks, try a paste of baking soda and water, applied gently with a soft cloth.

Water ingress behind the upstand

Ensure all edges are properly sealed with a high-quality, waterproof sealant. Reapply sealant if there are any signs of deterioration or gaps.
