Natural Oak Block Effect Laminate Kitchen Upstand

Complete your kitchen with the Howdens Natural Oak Block Effect Laminate Kitchen Upstand, designed to coordinate with matching oak-block work surfaces for a neat, professional finish.

Featuring the warm tones and distinctive pattern of natural timber blocks, this 3m kitchen upstand provides the character of an oak work surface with the durability and easy maintenance of laminate.

Realistic Oak Block Design

The Natural Oak Block Effect recreates the appearance of individual timber sections, giving the surface a classic butcher-block-inspired look.

Its natural oak colouring makes it particularly versatile, pairing well with white, cream, green, grey, black and neutral kitchen cabinetry.

Pair it with the matching Natural Oak Block Effect Laminate Worktop for a coordinated finish throughout the kitchen.

Durable Laminate Construction

Manufactured from laminate with a chipboard core, this upstand provides a hardwearing and low-maintenance alternative to solid timber.

The matt finish creates a more natural, understated appearance while the laminate surface is simple to wipe clean and maintain.

Professional Bullnose Finish

Measuring 3000mm long × 70mm high × 19mm thick, the upstand provides plenty of length for standard kitchen runs.

A bullnose edge with a 3mm radius creates a smooth finished profile and coordinates neatly with matching oak-block work surfaces.
