Lincat OA8981 Splashback & Shelf for Opus Range

The Lincat OA8981 is a manufacturer-matched splashback and shelf accessory designed specifically for use with the Lincat Opus range of cooking equipment. It fits as an integrated addition rather than a generic aftermarket shelf, ensuring correct alignment and finish consistency with the Opus line.

In a working kitchen, a splashback serves a straightforward but important purpose — it protects the wall surface directly behind the equipment from heat, grease, and food splatter that accumulates during service. The integrated shelf extends that utility by providing an immediately accessible surface for plated items, small utensils, or condiments within the cook's reach. Keeping that space tidy and functional during a busy service matters more than it might seem at the planning stage.

Practical benefits of fitting this accessory alongside your Opus equipment include:

• Protects the wall surface from grease and heat damage directly behind the unit
• Provides a useful shelf surface within the cooking station footprint
• Manufacturer-matched fit ensures clean integration with the Opus range aesthetic
• Simplifies cleaning by giving a defined, smooth surface to wipe down
• Supports a tidy, organised station layout during service

This accessory is worth considering at the point of purchasing Opus range equipment rather than retrospectively, as retrofitting shelving and splashbacks after installation can be more disruptive. It is most relevant for kitchens where the Opus unit sits against a plastered, tiled, or decorated wall surface that would otherwise require additional protection.

This is a purpose-built accessory for the Opus range and is not a standalone product — it should be specified alongside compatible Opus cooking equipment. If you are unsure whether this fits your specific Opus model configuration, our team are happy to confirm compatibility before you order.
