Howdens Speckled Stone Effect Worktop Edging Strip | 1.4m x 38mm

Speckled Stone Effect Worktop Edging Strip

Give exposed kitchen worktop edges a clean, professional finish with the Howdens Speckled Stone Effect Worktop Edging Strip.

Designed to coordinate with matching Speckled Stone Effect worktops, this edging strip conceals exposed chipboard edges while continuing the same stone-inspired pattern across the finished surface.

Matching Speckled Stone Effect

The Speckled Stone Effect creates the appearance of a natural stone surface, with a neutral design that works particularly well in contemporary and organic-inspired kitchens.

Using matching edging on visible cut ends creates a more complete appearance and avoids leaving the internal chipboard core exposed.

It's ideal when a worktop has been cut to length and the finished end remains visible.

Protects Exposed Worktop Edges

Worktop edging has an important practical purpose as well as improving the finished appearance.

Howdens states that leaving the chipboard edge exposed makes the worktop vulnerable to moisture ingress and everyday wear and tear. The edging strip helps protect these areas while also making the finished edge easier to keep clean.

PP Construction & Glue-Fit Installation

Manufactured from PP (polypropylene), this edging strip provides a durable matching finish for compatible worktops.

Howdens specifies a Glue fitting method. Best practice is to trim the edging at both the top and bottom during installation to achieve a clean finish and help create a suitable seal against moisture.

This version measures 1.4m long × 38mm wide, with a longer 5m option also available.
