Lincat OA8981 Splashback & Shelf for Opus Range

The Lincat OA8981 is a splashback and shelf unit produced specifically for the Opus range of cooking equipment. Unlike generic aftermarket additions, it is designed as a matched accessory, ensuring consistent alignment and finish with the Opus line rather than an approximate fit.

The wall surface directly behind cooking equipment takes a considerable amount of heat, grease, and food splatter during service. Without adequate protection, that damage accumulates quickly and can be difficult to reverse on plastered, tiled, or decorated surfaces. The shelf adds immediate practical value at the cooking station — a surface within reach for plated items, small utensils, or frequently used condiments that would otherwise become displaced during a busy service.

• Manufacturer-matched fit for clean, consistent integration with Opus equipment
• Protects wall surfaces from grease, heat, and splatter behind the unit
• Shelf keeps the cooking station organised and accessible during service
• Smooth surfaces simplify end-of-service cleaning
• Removes the need for separate wall protection measures behind the unit

This accessory is best considered at the point of ordering Opus equipment rather than retrospectively. Retrofitting shelving and splashbacks once equipment is in place and the kitchen is operational tends to be more disruptive than it is worth. It is a particularly relevant specification where the Opus unit sits close to a wall finish that would not otherwise withstand prolonged exposure to heat and grease.

As a purpose-built accessory, this unit is not compatible with other ranges and should be specified alongside the correct Opus model. If you are putting together an Opus installation and want to confirm compatibility before ordering, the team are happy to check the details with you.
