Refrigerated table accessory Novameta A-DSBM-4

A stainless steel upstand creates a raised barrier along the edges of a worktop, preventing spills and debris from running onto the floor. The 50 mm height is standardised for commercial kitchens, offering enough clearance to contain liquids and food particles while remaining low enough to allow easy access to the work surface. Upstands are fixed to the rear or side edges of worktops, forming a continuous lip that directs spills back onto the surface for quick cleanup.

Installation follows the contour of the worktop. The upstand is positioned along the chosen edge—rear, left or right—and secured with adhesive or mechanical fixings, depending on the worktop material. Once fitted, it forms a seamless barrier that does not interfere with food preparation or the placement of equipment. The smooth surface allows for easy wiping, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and keeping the kitchen compliant with hygiene standards.

Constructed from stainless steel, the upstand resists corrosion, heat and frequent cleaning. The material does not absorb moisture or harbour bacteria, making it suitable for high-turnover environments where sanitation is critical. The 50 mm height is consistent along the entire length, ensuring a uniform appearance and reliable containment.

This Novameta upstand is supplied as a single piece, designed to fit either the left or right side of a worktop. The absence of joints or seams simplifies cleaning and eliminates weak points where dirt could accumulate. The upstand is typically used in conjunction with worktops in food preparation areas, serveries and dishwashing stations where spills are common.

The 50 mm height allows the upstand to integrate with standard catering equipment, such as sinks, hobs and under-counter refrigeration, without obstructing access or interfering with plumbing and electrical connections. The low profile ensures it does not create a tripping hazard or impede the movement of staff during service.
