How to vinyl wrap your kitchen benchtop 

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

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!!

I'm so glad you showed how to go around the sink! Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

Amazing! You make it look so easy well done

Just Wow !!!! Well done, great work !!!

You've done such an fantastic work. Thanks for the inspiration. I need to target the market

Love your kitchen!! This was so helpful!!

Wow this turned out great!

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.

Just the video I needed! My partner and I are planning to do our kitchen as well! In Auckland New zealand 🇳🇿

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.

Wow! Very nice job. Thanks.

Looks very nice! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Looks good well done!

Lovely job 👏 looks great 👍

You did a great job! Thank you for sharing this!

Good job!!! Congratulaciones 👏👏👏👏

Very nice work!

Looks great!!!🎉

Very good, great for a budget job!

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.

Great Job!!😊

so helpful! I am doing this in my campervan

Thanks forshowing this so helpfull and it looks great . Im going to have a go hope it works out for me 😁😁😁

New subscriber fantastic job 👏 looks incredible

Nice job!

I love it. But my island is indented in corners. Not sure how to do it. Suggestions...

WOW well done

Gorgeous im going to attempt this myself 😱🤍

Love it♥️

Great job

Does it stain easily like when cooking curries?? X

Well done, good job

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?

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...

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

Good job 👍

@Vinyl Home, one question. It's been a couple years, how has it held up so far?

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 😄

I preferred it when you took off the folding cupboard door !

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

Cool!!! thank you!!

as a plumber... watching that caulking around the sink, I almost wanted to peel my skin off.

EXCELENTE !!! GRACIAS !,👋🇲🇽

where did you get your vinyl wrap?

That looks awesome!! Hope they sell that stuff here in oz👍

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?

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

Hellooòoo, where can I get the same product please 😊

I'm curious how long does it last??

Where can I buy this?

nice binch 😃

How is it holding up 2 years later?

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.

So beautiful you're and your job ❤️🌦️👌Dear

Thanks.

I beg you come to Britain and do mine!

Did really well gorgeous

Do you have any idea how to remove scratches from my kitchen sides?!? I used the wrap and it scratches so easily 😪

Well mine when I started my bench just went all over and am so fulstrated haha

How do they resist? I mean like being clean daily and being worked on with differents cleaning chemicals.

Cool

Can you show us what it looks like a year later?

👌🏾 how are your surfaces today? Was it durable?

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 😊

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)

How long that contact paper will last in a countertop

how much vinyl did you use to cover everything?

Have you had any issues with the vinyl staining from anything? Like coffee etc?

Bench top?

I was worried about the Rounded edges. I have a heat gun so that will be fine now!

What was the size of your roll? Measurements would be very helpful. Nice work!

Well Done.

Dear please can you tell me what is the sealant name ?

You're so gorgoues tho 🥰💞

Tammy from shameless???

14:08 kinda funny but your before kitchen with the soft earth tones is what the trend is now.

Brilliant video! You might like to have the small red lump on your chest @ 12:46 - 12:49 looked at 👀

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

How not to do it

hey dear 8m also doing wrap call me I would like to work with you 🤗🤗❤️❤️

What’s a “ Binch” 😂

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.

If you think this is great and cant see the wrinkled edges, you are blind. section 8

The original looked better

I dont think your binch looks livil.....lol

OMG, wasted a few minutes of my time
