 stainless film on counter? cwyln writes: Sun, 10/29/2006 - 11:03am
No, actually I didn't get a reply. and what I ended up doing, btw, is just getting stone-look vinyl tiles and laying them down on it.
My advice for a countertop is not the film -- counters take a lot of beating. This table we were going to put it on just holds some canisters and our coffee maker.
You may be able to do the vinyl tiles on your counter. I'm surpised at how much they look like stone. It's easy to cut if necessary...would clean easy and be durable (since it's for a floor!) -- you may want to look into it. You'd just have to be sure it would adhere to your counter (if it's glossy, etc).

It sounds like you came up with a really inventive way of taking care of your problem countertop. You were right in thinking that the film might not be best for this use. It won't stand up to sharp objects and will look beaten up pretty fast.
Though I have seen at Ikea that they do make stainless steel countertops that you can add to any kitchen if that is the look you are looking for.

If you're not cutting directly on it or putting hot items on it, like pots and pans, and it's more for a decorative finish - it should be fine. Per the manufacturer's own application ideas, they show it applied to a child's desktop - now if that doesn't take a beating - I don't know what does!

I love the look of stainless steel and am thinking of using this on a dresser in our guest bedroom. That should work right?

Have any of you tried it on actual appliances? If so, what do you think about it? Any advice?

I recently had a sheet metal company (as opposed to a countertop company) make a stainless steel top for my large island- (no fancy edges, just right angles), to install, I simply dropped it over the old top. (Be sure to measure carefully!) It really wasn't as expensive as you might think (less than $400) and I just love it. Having said that, there is another relatively inexpensive way to get the look of stainless steel and that is with laminate plastics. (Formica, Wilson Art, etc.) These companies have products that are very authentic looking, hold up well and are much less expensive that real SS.
using stainless steel film to cover existing faucets??? mauk3 writes: Sun, 12/31/2006 - 6:03pm
Ok, this may be really off the wall, but....could you cover a bathtub faucet with this stainless steel film? We are putting in brushed nickel sink faucets, light fixtures, etc. However, you have to go through the wall to change out the shower heads and tub faucets. I was thinking this might "cover" the existing old shiney silver faucets and blend well enough without the carpentry involved in going through the wall. Anyone have an opinion? I would greatly appreciate it!!

I'm not sure if you've already dealt with this, but I figure might as well post this for all in case others have a similar question, I don't see the film working very well but there IS a new product on the market that is a paint made of stainless steel particles that replicates the look of stainless steel You can find the product at http://www.liquidstainlesssteel.com/
