First, would like to say, good job. Second, I really like the idea of those doors you took off. Now for a little tip. When cutting the "seams", overlap the next piece before cutting. This is called a match cut, or mirror cut. This makes sure the seams are tight.
You did the BEST job I have seen for anyone doing this techique! BRAVO !! I laid vinyl signs for 15 years and NEVER ever thought about doing a countertop, until I came across the product on Amazon. After watching you, I am going to do my countertop! Thank you!!
when you are joining the vinyl don't try to butt the edges. Just qverlap it and cut through the two pieces. When you remove the excess from both layers you have a perfect join. Easier too.Less stress.
If you overlap the two pieces and then cut to make that joint. Won’t you still have a remnant piece underneath the top layer? And that will leave a ripple/ crease under that top layer. So do you to cut the first layer, and then over lay the top and make the second cut like she did? Just trying to mentally plan out my project. Thanks in advance 😊
Thank you! That's along the lines what I was thinking. The other bother is sealing that to prevent water from getting in the spliced area? Water under that paper would cause peeling. Dont want that. Maybe that silicone rubbed in and flatten out with water to give it a nice seal?
@@MrRawUK not sure as i said, im pretty certain the brand of vinyl i got (d-c fix) said upto 72 degrees, the advert on youtube described it and also any spillages etc
This looks fantastic. Thank you for showing how to fit it around the curved edges. I have yet to try this in my kitchen because my kitchen counters are tile, and I'm not sure if it will look good. I have done this in the bathroom using DCfix and it looks great. I used it on the counters, around the tub and around the shower ( it is on an area that extends beyond the shower stall, so it doesn't get wet). The counters surrounding the sink get wet all the time however, and it has all held up for over a year. There has been no peeling, no gouges or discoloration. I'm not overly careful, but it is just me using the space, so that may account for it staying in good shape. Also I picked a beige/brownish granite look rather than the white marble.
One more tip. lol. When working with silicone, use rubbing alcohol instead of water. Spray it on, then use finger to wipe if off, smooth it out. Water doesn't work well with silicone. It's like oil and water. They don't mix. When you spray it on, it will protect the rest of the material, and the silicone won't stick to it. Much easier clean up that way.
You should use a heat gun on the edges so that they do not peel off in the future. Vinyl wrap is stretchable by nature that is why when you lay it down without heating it on the edges it will eventually "shrink" and start peeling off. Otherwise looks good 😄
Hi. I'm going to have a go at this myself. A question I have is how did you get on with doing the inside corner join on worktop?Any tips as IM not sure how to do that bit
What will make this 100xs easier is knifeless tape, also a heat gun will make all the difference, harbor freight sells them for $10 Overall it looks great 😊
Is this safe (heat/fire resistant)? I got an electric ceramic hob and i want to know if it will be fine? Im concerned it might change shape or melt because of the heat?
If the scratches already been made on the vinyl it's probably not much you can do to remove them. The best way to avoid scratches is to lift all objets rather than shuffle them and use chopping boards at all time if on a bench top.
How's that countertop doing now that's been a year? I really want to do this in my kitchen, but in my case the vinil will have to do a curve down into the sink, i dk how that's going to work out...
Good video 👍 How resistant is this material to heat if you accidentally place a medium hot/warm pot on it? Would also appreciate if you can share how it has held up over time 😊
What happens when you put something like a cup of coffee or warm pot on this? Also the vinyl right next to the stove burners will be a problem. Also counter tops are exposed to sharp objects such as cutlery dirty pot bottoms. Will this not scratch the vinyl. I would not do this.
@@VinylhomeNZ is it safe to say that it's just a temporary solution then? Because my bench would look filthy after a year or two if spices and coffee can leave stains.
Looks good but that warm and form around the bench top corner isn’t as easy as it looked - the underneath will need another piece to anchor it down otherwise vinyl will stretch back (shrink)
They also have a similar product for floors in 'tile' form, that is just peel and stick. It really looks great, I tried it. The kitchen looks great. Ms. L. Churchill
This will fail with time as heat and moisture lift the edges - 12 months max. The adhesive vinyl you can pick up at DIY stores tens to be fablon or DC Fix. It's so thin and flimsy and will gouge and scratch easily, has no fire ratings or guarantees and will discolour. Stuff like 3m, although top end and installed by pros, comes with a 10 yr warranty and looks and feels like the real thing. This just like like, erm, sticky vinyl on wood.

@@leoracarrillo4139 Honestly I would leave the backing paper of BOTH pieces until you make the cut. Then finalize any bubbles n stuff for both pieces.
Great job. Only downside is if you put a fairly warm cup or plate on the kitchen counter in WILL mark. None of these DIY guides mention this.
most of these vinyls are heat resistant upto a certain degrees, 72 i think
@@najeerhussain4552 I think it's more like 50.
@@MrRawUK not sure as i said, im pretty certain the brand of vinyl i got (d-c fix) said upto 72 degrees, the advert on youtube described it and also any spillages etc
U can clear coat it I guess
I do this as part of my job. The brand I use (Bodaq from Hyundai) is heatresistent up to 110 degrees celsius

Benchtop? Such a funny name. In the US we call it a countertop. Looks great! I hope that translates to looks great lol
Worktop in the UK!

I'm so glad you showed how to go around the sink! Thank you!
Great job and such a useful tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm about to do this on my tiny unit kitchen with some black marble look vinyl.
This looks greats!!! You did amazing!!

She did heat and stretch the vinyl for the edges at the end what do you mean?
Just the video I needed! My partner and I are planning to do our kitchen as well! In Auckland New zealand 🇳🇿
You've done such an fantastic work. Thanks for the inspiration. I need to target the market
so helpful! I am doing this in my campervan
That looks awesome!! Hope they sell that stuff here in oz👍
We ship to Australia ;)
Very good, great for a budget job!
Thank you!
Love the way you did the edges, bi probably would have mad e a right mess of it. Not sure if I'm confident enough.... Xx
Looks great!!!🎉
@Vinyl Home, one question. It's been a couple years, how has it held up so far?
Thanks I am going to give it a try 😊
Hi. I'm going to have a go at this myself. A question I have is how did you get on with doing the inside corner join on worktop?Any tips as IM not sure how to do that bit
Hi
I live in Sydney, i want to cover my kitchen benchtop too, where can I buy the vinyl self adhesive in Sydney.
Thank you
I preferred it when you took off the folding cupboard door !
Amazing! You make it look so easy well done
Nice job!
What will make this 100xs easier is knifeless tape, also a heat gun will make all the difference, harbor freight sells them for $10
Overall it looks great 😊
Great Job!!😊
Love your kitchen!! This was so helpful!!
I love it. But my island is indented in corners. Not sure how to do it. Suggestions...
Thanks forshowing this so helpfull and it looks great . Im going to have a go hope it works out for me 😁😁😁
as a plumber... watching that caulking around the sink, I almost wanted to peel my skin off.
Just Wow !!!! Well done, great work !!!
Hellooòoo, where can I get the same product please 😊
Wow this turned out great!
I'm curious how long does it last??
Great job
Is this safe (heat/fire resistant)? I got an electric ceramic hob and i want to know if it will be fine? Im concerned it might change shape or melt because of the heat?
Do you have any idea how to remove scratches from my kitchen sides?!? I used the wrap and it scratches so easily 😪
If the scratches already been made on the vinyl it's probably not much you can do to remove them. The best way to avoid scratches is to lift all objets rather than shuffle them and use chopping boards at all time if on a bench top.
Wow! Very nice job. Thanks.
Very nice work!

I liked your technique but what contact paper did you use and where did you buy it? How long have you had it on and how is it holding up today?
Good video 👍 How resistant is this material to heat if you accidentally place a medium hot/warm pot on it?
Would also appreciate if you can share how it has held up over time 😊
Thank you. It takes heat up to 75 degrees C for shorter periods of time.
@@VinylhomeNZ Thank you for the feedback 👍😊
I beg you come to Britain and do mine!
New subscriber fantastic job 👏 looks incredible
Good job!!! Congratulaciones 👏👏👏👏
Looks good well done!
How is it holding up 2 years later?
Good job 👍
Hey - watching this in 2024 - how long did your vinyls last?
Gorgeous im going to attempt this myself 😱🤍
nice binch 😃
Lovely job 👏 looks great 👍

Cool!!! thank you!!
WOW well done
where did you get your vinyl wrap?
Does it stain easily like when cooking curries?? X
Have you had any issues with the vinyl staining from anything? Like coffee etc?
Hi coffee and spices with strong pigment can stain the vinyl.
@@VinylhomeNZ is it safe to say that it's just a temporary solution then? Because my bench would look filthy after a year or two if spices and coffee can leave stains.
How long that contact paper will last in a countertop
About 3 days lol!
So beautiful you're and your job ❤️🌦️👌Dear
Did really well gorgeous
Can you show us what it looks like a year later?
How do they resist? I mean like being clean daily and being worked on with differents cleaning chemicals.
they are both alcohol and water resistant. Just clean with wash up liquid
Well done, good job
Thank you
Where can I buy this?
I was worried about the Rounded edges. I have a heat gun so that will be fine now!
how much vinyl did you use to cover everything?
A 15m roll was enough for all of this but I think only about 10m of that roll was used
👌🏾 how are your surfaces today? Was it durable?
yes. It's still holding up
EXCELENTE !!! GRACIAS !,👋🇲🇽
Well mine when I started my bench just went all over and am so fulstrated haha
Looks good but that warm and form around the bench top corner isn’t as easy as it looked - the underneath will need another piece to anchor it down otherwise vinyl will stretch back (shrink)
Love it♥️
Thanks.
What was the size of your roll? Measurements would be very helpful. Nice work!
A 90cm x 15m roll was used. Some bench tops will get away with a 67.5cm roll.
Where can I purchase one for this size online?
Well Done.
Cool
Tammy from shameless???
Dear please can you tell me what is the sealant name ?
helo
Bench top?
Brilliant video! You might like to have the small red lump on your chest @ 12:46 - 12:49 looked at 👀
hey dear 8m also doing wrap call me I would like to work with you 🤗🤗❤️❤️
14:08 kinda funny but your before kitchen with the soft earth tones is what the trend is now.
You're so gorgoues tho 🥰💞
How not to do it
They also have a similar product for floors in 'tile' form, that is just peel and stick. It really looks great, I tried it. The kitchen looks great.

I've done this to my pantry but wouldn't dare do it to bench tops, not worth the time it takes to stick on compared to how long it'll last.
It’s been 2 years and holding up fantastic still 😅
Take the sink out 🤦 The water will get under there in no time....
What a bodge....😜
If you think this is great and cant see the wrinkled edges, you are blind. section 8
What’s a “ Binch” 😂
The original looked better
I dont think your binch looks livil.....lol
OMG, wasted a few minutes of my time
