Stainless steel upstands – For a neat integration between worktop and wall.

Our custom made brushed stainless steel upstands are designed to adhere directly to the wall for a seamless integration between them and your worktop. With no visible fixings these upstand are easier to clean and hygienic with one smooth surface and no small gaps in which bacteria can gather.

As all our products are made bespoke to order here in our Leicester workshop, the height of your upstand can vary in accordance with your preference. The minimum we can fold is 50mm high and an average height is between 100-150mm high. We offer a variety of thicknesses all of which add to the bespoke nature of your kitchen; this also allows our upstands to be made to match the thickness of tiles or splashbacks of other substrates like glass, copper or stainless steel or conceal gaps that occur at the rear of worktops due to the natural undulation of the walls.

We can make L-shape and U-shape or folded sections in single pieces and can provide taller sections to cover pipe boxing; need an unusual shape or just want some advice on which product to order, simply call our team for helpful, friendly, practical advice.
All of our upstands are made using 304 grade brushed stainless steel, 0.9mm thick.

This flat sheet option is less than 1mm thick and is suitable for bonding directly to smooth flat walls.

Alternatively, we can bond this steel onto solid mdf cores, varying from 10mm, 13mm or 19mm finished thickness. We fold the steel over the top edge as a standard and can fold the left and right hand ends as required. Please specify this at point of ordering. As the upstands are designed to seal directly to the worktop there is no need to fold the bottom, but can be done for a small additional charge.

Measuring for the upstands can be tricky, taking off a little for fitting tolerances and where upstands butt against each other. Our expert team are happy to guide you through the process and our measuring guide should see your upstands fitting perfectly first time.

We have developed a range of trims to complete the upstands – offering more tolerance in fitting, they can make installation easier; capping the ends, covering corners and our in-line trims allow a neat integration between two lengths or a run that is greater than the maximum 3m length that we can supply.

Integrated upstands can also be applied to the rear of our own stainless steel worktops on straight lengths, providing a watertight seal between worktop and upstand, perfect for developers, rental and student accommodation.
