You might be thinking of 'Fablon' which is a self-adhesive fabric
covering. It's usually available from decorating shops as it's used like
wallpaper. I doubt if it would last very long on a worktop.


Fablon do an extra-heavy-duty plastic one, designed for use on kitchen
units. It's not suggested for the counters, but might hold up (with
light use) for a short time, while you save up for proper countertops.
I've seen it in B&Q.

Fablon lasts fine on a kitchen worktop. Mine has been covering
chipboard for two years now. The pretty pattern has worn away a bit
but it still provides a hygenic washable surface. The new and beautful
'proper' worktop will happen any year now ...
