Units grey textured Laminate

Post by hijimhere » Wed Oct 05, 2016 2:44 pm

My units seem to be taking on the appearance of to many scratches/dints/wear - can this laminate be obtained? Or would it have to be laminate already bonded on wood? Also the edge trimming available but not so important.

You can get just the laminate
But it's a real bugger to cut and fit
The edges always get caught and snapped / chipped
often can leave a sharp edge to cut your self on

Best bet is the sticky film
It comes in some real funky colours patterns these days
Here's a plain one

Give the old surfaces a clean maybe use white spirit etc
And then that film sticke really well

You can get a metal checker plate looking one that would be good on the lower parts of cupboard fronts
I've seen leaves , balls , bright colours , pebbles, there's loads out there now days
