Work top up stands (20mm staves)

[Dan1983]

Evening all,

Our oak worktops are from Howdens with 20mm staves.

Unfortunately the up-stands they provide to match this work top are half stave so don't match.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue and found anyone the can do 20mm stave up stands?

 

Nothing obvious coming up online.

 

many thanks for any pointers

Could you cut up a work top to make upstands? A 3m worktop would probably only make 12m or so of upstand because the saw kerf will make some narrower than 20mm/

Check the Wickes ones - from memory it is bullnose and pretty sure it is 20mm

Do you mean pencil round, (or a simple radius on the facing edge?)

 

Bullnose would not be suitable for an upstand, as its effectively a "half round" profile.

To be truthful, if you are only looking for upstand, which need be no more than 100mm high, then a local joinery should be able to whizz them out for you at no more cost (often cheaper) than the usual worktop suppliers.

Thanks all

Looking for 70-80mm upstand 

Good shout on the Wickes one Peter.

ideally I want square edge to match the work top but will settle on bull nose if I have to.

Seems silly Howdens can’t match it

 yes pencil round but it is quite deep radius to about half the thickness of the upstand. You can hide it by reversing it

Going to pick a few lengths up from wickes later so fingers crossed.

Hopefully colour match will be close once oiled

Didn’t think match was going to be great at first.

Found an off cut of worktop at the house and put some rustins danish oil on.

Match now looks good, looking at the oil type marks on the cardboard the up stands come in I think they maybe pre oiled from Wickes
