Novameta Rear Panel for LPL1 Upper Shelving

A rear panel that bridges the gap between LPL1 upper shelves, creating a continuous back barrier for professional catering worktops. This type of panel prevents items from sliding off the back of the shelf and helps organise the workspace by containing utensils, ingredients or small equipment within the designated area.

The panel attaches to the rear edge of the shelf, forming a vertical barrier that runs the full length of the unit. Its height is standardised to match the depth of the shelf, ensuring a neat, integrated appearance without obstructing access to the work surface below. The bridging design means a single panel can span multiple shelves when they are installed side by side, eliminating gaps that could otherwise collect debris or allow items to fall through.

Installation follows the shelf layout: the panel is positioned along the rear edge, aligned with the shelf supports, and secured with the fasteners provided. Once fitted, it remains in place during daily use, requiring no further adjustment unless the shelf configuration is changed. The panel's position at the back of the unit keeps it clear of the main work area, so it does not interfere with food preparation or cleaning of the worktop.

Constructed from stainless steel, the panel resists corrosion and staining, maintaining a clean, professional appearance even in high-moisture environments. The material is easy to wipe down, supporting hygiene standards in commercial kitchens.

This rear panel is designed for LPL1 upper shelves with a 2100 mm length, requiring two shelves of that size for full coverage. It is part of the Novameta table accessory range, used to customise and extend the functionality of modular worktop systems.
