Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation typically involves applying a suitable adhesive (e.g., silicone sealant or specialized stone adhesive) to the back of the upstand and pressing it firmly against the wall, ensuring it sits flush against the countertop. Ensure the wall and countertop surface are clean, dry, and free from dust before application. Cut to size if necessary using appropriate tools for quartz, following manufacturer guidelines. Proper sealing along the top and sides may be recommended for complete moisture protection.
Compatibility:
This upstand is designed to complement quartz countertops but can also be paired with granite, solid surface, or laminate worktops. It is suitable for installation in kitchens and other areas requiring wall protection behind countertops, such as utility rooms or home bars. Ensure the wall surface is structurally sound and prepared for adhesive application.
Care:
To maintain the pristine appearance and hygiene of your Omega Upstand, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt finish. For stubborn marks, a mild bathroom cleaner or an appropriate quartz cleaner can be used sparingly. Wipe spills promptly to prevent them from setting. Ensure the area around the upstand remains dry to prevent moisture ingress.
