Howdens Charcoal Laminate Worktop Edging Strip | 1.4m x 38mm

Charcoal Laminate Worktop Edging Strip

Give exposed worktop edges a clean, professional finish with the Howdens Charcoal Laminate Worktop Edging Strip.

Designed to coordinate with the matching Charcoal Laminate kitchen worktop, this 1.4m edging strip conceals exposed chipboard after cutting while continuing the same dark charcoal finish across the work surface.

Contemporary Charcoal Finish

The deep charcoal finish provides a modern alternative to lighter worktop colours and works particularly well in contemporary and industrial-style kitchen designs.

Using matching edging on visible cut ends maintains a consistent appearance and gives the finished installation a much more professional look.

Covers Exposed Worktop Edges

When a laminate worktop is cut to size, the internal chipboard core becomes visible.

Howdens specifically designed this edging to hide exposed chipboard after cutting, completing the appearance of the matching charcoal worktop.

Laminate Construction

The edging is manufactured from laminate, using the same material as the matching charcoal worktop.

It measures 1.4m long × 38mm, with Howdens supplying the laminate oversized at 43mm before trimming to allow for installation tolerances. The strip should be aligned with the top of the worktop and the excess trimmed from the bottom so the cut edge remains out of sight.
