Re-covering kitchen worktops
Hello all,
I had a fairly good search in Google Groups and couldn't see this as a previously discussed topic here, so I hope the question is not too naive. I have what seems like acres of dark-brown kitchen worktop in a fitted kitchen - the covering is plastic of some type, patterned to look like dark hardwood blocks. It nicely matches the dark-stained wooden kitchen cabinets. I'd like to brighten the kitchen up somewhat, and painting the cabinets is easy - but is it possible to re-cover the worktop? I'm reluctant to replace the worktop right now, as it will be a pig of a job - the kitchen's walls are not square, they've been tiled to the level of the worktop, and it seems pretty much structurally essential to the lower cabinets. Is there something like a hard-wearing form of sticky-back plastic (suitable for kitchens) that I could simply glue over the existing worktop? If so, where can I find it - there doesn't seem to be anything like it in the 'sheds'. It would need to be flexible enough to 'roll-over' the chamfered front edge of the worktop, otherwise I'm sure it would lift in no time flat. Many thanks, Sid |
