Hi there,
We are renovating our house as we go along, we have put new doors on
the existing carcass of our kitchen, and they look great.
One problem we have is the worktops, really out of date and naf
looking. We can't afford to replace all the worktops yet, as the
cooker fits into the corner of one of them and they we can't get the
depth without ordering it, and it is going to cost quite a lot....
My question is : Has anyone had any experience of covering the
existing worktops using FABLON ?
If so, how was it? Does it still look ok, and is it a good idea.
Obviously we realise that we would have to be careful with the surface
with sharp objects etc .. but nothing can be as bad as it looks at
the moment.
There are some quite nice patterns available these days too :-)
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Rachel


We did ours 3 years ago and its still like new, we chose a nice green. The
cupboards are white so it looked good and still does so for 28 pounds
itsvwas a bargain.


We used to do that in the 80's - it generally works really quite well.
Shelves and also tarted up a small freezer that looked a bit sad. If you
clean the surface with a good degreaser (sugar soap if it is greasy
would work best) it should last for many years.

Worktops last much longer though, and have a harder life.
