Granite worktops all round, or a mix of granite and laminate?
Comments (10)Hello haylescakes, I think it just need a bit of care.. I would definitely not mix it.. Granite, like Marble or any other luxury stone, even woods do need some attention.. I have bamboo and that too requires a bit of effort.... Wiping down and a regular re oil.. However I think it is really really worth it. Also it does last and would definitely look all the better for the little bit of effort.. I also made several chopping boards with off cuts!! Gr8 way to use up the material and useful too! For colours I would look to finding something lighter than black.. I think you could really go for something amazing... Firstly though think of the colours in the kitchen... If it's a blank canvas, so to speak and any colour would work... Ie you have white worktops... Then really go for something striking... I have just found a few colours from a company online that are quite interesting..I'd say do some research into pricing and ask for samples.. Or visit a showroom to get an idea... Get as many samples as you need before deciding.. I think the more natural looking as possible... Some of them can look manufactured.. You could also add a small splash back panel.. Narrow is quite tasteful, the have a really chalky matt paint on the walls and matt paint for the cupboards..... Lastly think of finish.. squared off edges are in my eyes more tasteful.. but you can look at that and decide what you like the look of :)) Cosmic black...

Comments (1)I would not leave a gap, as unless it's large enough to get in to, you will not be able to clean it sufficiently. Silicone sealant is available in a range of colours, you can even order it online. Screwfix do a pale beige straight off the shelf, but you can order in a miriad of Ral colours if you're super fussy like me from:- Sealants and Tools direct...See MoreCan you get wood-effect laminate worktops in varying depths?
Comments (1)Ikea tops are deeper ( to suit ikea cabinets ) In general laminate tops usually come in 600 single postformed and 665 and 900 double postformed (so would be rounded edge front and back - so you’d need to cut the back off) Fabrication workshops often will offer to cut down wider tops to size for you. Hope that helps a bit !...See MoreHow do I tart up a damaged section of laminate worktop?
Comments (7)There are some repair kits online for laminate floors but laminate worktops are pretty difficult to damage and if your is damaged maybes it’s at the end of its life and it’s time to replace if. You can see an inexpensive range at DIY stores or go to a timber merchants for a better product....See MoreJuliet Docherty
