Peel and stick contact paper

I have had this product on my counters for over a year now and I could not be happier! The counters in my home are awful. White with ugly blue edges.I knew one day I was going to cover them but I just wasn't sure what with. I went through one day and hunted down something I liked and I thought this would be great. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at how thick it was, and how overall durable it seemed. I made sure I cleaned my counters, edges and backsplash very well and off I went. A couple of tools I would highly recommend: Scissors. A craft/utility knife set. Small tube of kitchen caulk I also highly recommend measuring. I didn't because frankly I love to wing it and then be bummed out I have to wait for another roll to arrive. I'm a glutton for punishment I suppose. Nonetheless. I started applying the contact paper from the top of the backsplash, down tot he counter then forward, with the roll going horizontally across the counters. I don't have one long counter area so I did make sure to closely, roughly cut it down to size so I wasn't working with so much excess. The trick is a little patience and only peeling and folding down the backing just enough so you're not accidentally sticking everywhere. That being said, if you do, this paper actually releases nicely without stretching or ruining the adhesive. It takes a little oomph but it works so you have forgiveness. I only ordered the 15in wide so I worked all the way across the back of the counters, then started working along the front half and edges. I had enough extra from the 2nd row to nicely fold down on the edge of the counter. Make sure you work out all of your bubbles before you put the 2nd row down. I did rough cut the front pieces down a bit too so I didn't have a ton of excess hanging, plus the long strips would be great for areas I knew I'd need thin strips to cover (like around the curved edges of the counter). Once I got the top down and bubbles pushed out, I tightly wrapped it along the edge. After whatever adjusting needed to be done, I took my little craft utility knife and ran it along the bottom edge of the counter to remove any excess. Take your time here so the cut is smooth and even. I did have to improvise some with a section of my counter that juts out with a curved edge. I kept the grain still going horizontally instead of trying to do anything fancy with the 90degree turn. The biggest challenge for me was around the sink. I did my best here, using my utility knife a lot to slowly work around the sink so the paper was close enough for caulk to cover nicely. I wasn't worried about perfection, just closeness. One thing I would love to note is that the places where two parts of contact paper connect really are not noticeable with the dark color. I can't imagine it would be very obvious with any of them really. Unless someone wants to nitpick it, they'll not really notice. The texture of the surface is obvious that it's not actual counter, but the quality of it makes it look way better than the old stuff your mom used to buy from the store! Durability is pretty darn good. You will have to change some habits you may have such as placing hot cookware directly on it. My old countertop I didn't care but with this, it will create a ring. My poor son forgot and set the pot down on the counter from the stovetop. Thankfully we caught it, but worst case scenario I would have cut that section and peeled it off to replace. That is a fantastic advantage to this. Also, no knives on it! My husband cut something on my counters within the first week and boy was I mad. At first it was not noticeable really but after a few months the settling of the paper on the surface has created a nice white slit. I could take a small piece to cover it but I haven't. It's been there for a year, so maybe one day I'll do it. I recently made a floating counter in another area of my kitchen to help with keeping open floor space and to house my microwave and Keurig. I ordered another small roll of this to cover it to match. Perfection. I'm so glad I did rather than keep the dark brown wood color of the shelf I used. I think for the excellent quality of this, the value is excellent. It's a very nice, classy instant upgrade if you're looking for a cheap option to get you through. Some homes are worth redoing counters, some aren't. And some people can afford to do that, and some can't. That's ok... because this awesome stuff exists!

This is without a doubt, a five star product, it can be a little difficult to line it up and get it where you need it in certain areas or put it on a surface that bends and keep it going smoothly, but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty easy. Could be made easier with two people, but I did it myself and it’s one of those things after you stick a piece or two you start to realize what you need to do to make it easier and it pretty well falls into place. You can lift and reposition and it still sticks just as sturdy. I even have a few areas that are overlapped and it’s not noticeable. It’s very easy to take a credit card or something flat and smooth out the bubbles and make sure it is all smooth, which honestly even a good bit of it you can just be pressing down with your hand and you’re gonna get them out. It cuts very easy and has a grid on the back to help give you straight lines. You get a decent amount for a roll. It didn’t cost me too much but I do have a small kitchen. It has gotten damp plenty of times. Water has splashed on it from us washing dishes and I’ll wipe right over it with a towel like I would any other countertop and it has held up excellent, and I love the color. The black is very pretty. It still has that woodgrain look to it.. but overall It’s worth it because I bought one roll, not knowing how much to use and once I got a third of my counter done with it I was so excited to order the other two and get them in. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it from people that have come over and saw the original counters that were here in the apartment.

This worked great as a new surface for an old coffee table. Table had an old beat up laminate surface 24 x 36 so two strips side by side were arranged and attached without any wrinkles or problems. Adhesive was easy to apply and the pattern looks 100% better than the old scratched laminated surface. The new texture is a lot nicer as well. Its like a brand new table!

This peel and stick is of good quality..somewhat easy to install. It has enough sticky and is hard to pull back up which is a plus.

This stuff is the real deal. I’ve had on my counter for several months and decided to take it off for no good reason and let’s just say I almost didn’t get it off. It STICKS AND HOLDS UP GREAT. I wish I would have left it because it did look good and it didn’t do any damage to my granite countertops. Worth the money

I had an urgent need to get a desk for my new office that had to be a certain size so I ordered a desk in a box. The size was perfect and it came with a printer stand. This is one of the popular ones with a name you would know. The picture of the color and the color description were way off. This thing was massive, it is an L shape that takes up a good deal of room. The color in person was absolutely ugly. Really ugly. I was seriously entertaining tearing it apart and taking it to the dump and getting a different brand. I really didn't want to spend that kind of money but I was heartbroken that my new office was uglified by this piece of crap desk. In desperation I jumped on Amazon and started searching for a fix. I found a whole lot of wallpapers that people used to redo furniture and I thought that may work. Most of the reviews however seemed to indicate they were a very temporary solution so I changed my search to look for a higher quality. I found this one. The reviews were letting me know that this was the stuff I was needing. I ordered and received it quickly and immediately went about fixing this ugly desk and printer stand. This stuff is a lifesaver. I am so super impressed, it changed the whole look and now I am really happy with my new desk and office. Thank You!!! This did exactly what you said it would and so much more. I will say though that you will get out of this what you put into it. I spent about 5 hours applying this. This has the potential to be perfect so I took my time and made it perfect. The factory cut edges are absolutely straight and perfect, you can get a smooth invisible seam if you take your time. It's a bit challenging but well worth the effort. I suggest going slow and also ordering extra because you will mess up at least one piece until you get the hang of it. This is super sticky, really super sticky. It will pull off of a laminated surface if you go slow and easy and it will stick again and again and again with no problem. If it sticks to itself, sticky side to sticky side though, it will not come apart without making that piece no good to use so go slow and easy. I pulled the paper backing off about 3 inches and folded it back out of the way and then continued to do that as I went. That seemed to help get it in the right position. The color of this and the pattern are very attractive and were a perfect match to the rest of my office. I couldn't find a pattern that looked like I had to match up with while doing a seam and that made it a lot easier. I highly recommend! If you are meticulous, this will look like brand new formica. This is made of PVC I believe and it is nice and thick.

Our stainless steel appliances were super scratched from using the wrong cleaning products on it. This contact paper worked beautifully. It’s the first time I like the final result when using contact paper. Tips for both the refrigerator and dishwasher - take the door apart as much as you can to make the before installing. With the refrigerator, that meant taking the handles off. For the dishwasher, I reviewed Bosch videos and was able to remove the whole front skin. One thing I really liked about this was that it came in 36 inches wide. No seams or having to match the pattern up. It never turns out well if you have to do that. Also, many people use mentioned this, but have a second hand when installing this. The most important time for accuracy is the initial moment when you attach the paper to the surface and it’s hard to do it perfectly alone.

Looks good in pictures but it’s a nightmare to work with. I do upholstery so I’m very used to using different materials. I purchased this to recover my rv camper kitchen table. It is constantly having to have “bubbles” rubbed back down. It was put on by hand and with smoothing tools but after I finished, the edges started letting go and there were bubbles on the table. I have tried to use a low setting heat gun to help but to no avail. The edges release. The underside released. Shot of stapling or glueing it down, it may have to come off and try again. It’s stiff, it doesn’t stretch much at all and can be brittle, I put a fingernail through it pulling it around the edge to smooth it out and stick it to the bottom. I don’t hold out much hope that it will get better with time.

This is really good quality and fairly easy to install. I did it around a round sink so that was the only difficult part. Looks great and the seams are invisible as long as you keep the grain the same direction!

This is the best contact paper I’ve used so far and I’ve used a lot! It is soo thick and goes on so nicely and the edges and corners actually stick nicely which is rare! I just put it on tonight so I will update on how well it holds up! Here’s some before and after photos. This took me 1 full roll of the 40Wx198.1L cm plus a little bit of a second roll.

This looks really slick. The paper is thick, sturdy and has measurements on the back. It was super simple to install and the colour/pattern is really forgiving. It’s been two weeks and there is no lifting at all.

J'espérais une matière un peu plus épaisse, mais le rendu final est bien. Pas si évident à installer si tu es novice comme moi dans ce genre d'exercice. Le papier est très collant, ce qui est bien car ça le rend résistant, mais il faut être délicat lors de l'installation du papier pour ne pas se tromper car il se décolle difficilement si on veut se repositionner.

I bought this to cover a scratch in my bar table. My bar table looks a lot better but the texture of th scar is still visible under the contact paper. Inspite of that it's still a good product I don't expect perfection. I like it and I recommend it. It gets water marks like normal wood so be aware.
