Product Description
The Lincat OA8981 is a splashback and shelf unit produced by Lincat specifically for their Opus range of cooking equipment. Rather than a generic aftermarket addition, it is designed to integrate directly with Opus equipment as a matched accessory, maintaining consistent alignment and finish with the rest of the line.
In a working kitchen, the function of a splashback is straightforward but easy to overlook at the planning stage. The wall surface directly behind cooking equipment takes a significant amount of heat, grease, and food splatter during service, and without adequate protection, that damage accumulates quickly. The shelf component adds immediate practical value at the cooking station — a surface within reach for plated items, small utensils, or frequently used condiments that would otherwise end up displaced during a busy service.
- Protects wall surfaces from grease, heat, and splatter behind the Opus unit
- Manufacturer-matched fit ensures clean, consistent integration with Opus equipment
- Shelf surface keeps the cooking station organised and accessible during service
- Smooth, defined surfaces simplify end-of-service cleaning
- Reduces the need for additional wall protection treatments behind the unit
This accessory is best considered at the point of ordering Opus equipment rather than retrospectively. Retrofitting shelving and splashbacks after the equipment is in place and the kitchen is operational tends to be more disruptive than it is worth. It is particularly relevant where the Opus unit sits against a plastered, tiled, or decorated wall that would otherwise need separate protection measures.
As a purpose-built accessory, this is not compatible with other ranges and should be specified alongside the correct Opus model. If you are configuring an Opus installation and want to confirm this fits your specific setup, our team are glad to check compatibility before you finalise the order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The OA8981 is designed as a matched accessory for the Opus range, but compatibility can vary depending on the specific Opus unit configuration. If you are unsure whether it suits your model, it is worth confirming with our team before ordering to avoid any fitment issues.
- Retrofitting is possible in principle, but it is generally more straightforward to specify and fit the splashback and shelf at the same time as the original installation. Fitting it later may require moving the equipment away from the wall, which in a busy kitchen can be disruptive.
- It is most relevant where the Opus unit sits against a plastered, decorated, or tiled wall surface that would otherwise be exposed to grease and heat during service. If your kitchen has fully tiled or stainless-clad walls behind the cooking equipment, you may have less need for additional splashback protection.
