Stratus Black Marble Effect Laminate Kitchen Upstand

Create a dramatic, high-end kitchen finish with the Howdens Stratus Black Marble Effect Laminate Kitchen Upstand. Designed to coordinate with matching Stratus Black worktops, this 3m upstand combines a striking dark marble appearance with the practicality and easy maintenance of laminate.

The black and grey grained marble pattern adds depth and character, making it an excellent choice for contemporary kitchens and darker statement interiors.

Striking Black Marble Effect

Stratus Black recreates the luxurious appearance of dark natural stone without the cost and maintenance requirements of real marble.

The combination of black and grey marble-style detailing creates a bold surface that works particularly well with white, grey, black, natural wood and metallic kitchen finishes.

Pair it with the matching Stratus Black Marble Effect Laminate Worktop for a coordinated finish throughout the kitchen.

Practical Laminate Construction

Manufactured from laminate with a chipboard core, this kitchen upstand offers an easy-clean and low-maintenance alternative to natural stone.

It also helps protect the wall around the worktop from everyday splashes and spills while covering the junction between the work surface and wall.

Matt Finish & Bullnose Edge

The Matt finish gives the marble-effect pattern a more understated appearance, while the Bullnose edge with a 3mm radius provides a smooth finished profile.

At 3000mm long × 70mm high × 19mm thick, it coordinates with matching 3m work surfaces for a professional finish.
