Upstands

A kitchen worktop upstand is a narrow strip of material - usually matching your worktop, that runs along the wall behind the countertop, typically between about 60 mm to 120 mm high. Its key role is to seal the gap between worktop and wall, creating a neat, continuous finish and preventing liquids, grease or food particles from seeping behind cabinets or onto walls. 

These worktop upstands act as a barrier between your work surface and the wall, helping prevent water, food and cooking residues from seeping into gaps or behind cabinets — a common cause of stains and damage in busy kitchens.

Available in a variety of materials and finishes to complement your chosen worktop - from laminate and solid wood to matching quartz or granite - kitchen worktop upstands can be both functional and decorative, giving your kitchen a seamless, coordinated look.
