The trapped air will dissipate easily as you depress the squeegee tool (included) onto the bubble and firmly push bubbles out from the center towards the edge of the material. The distinct shade of our adhesive prevents any potential bleed-through from the old surface to the new. Now the squeegee that comes with the product stinks so buy your own. Took me about 8 hours over 2 days to install on all the kitchen counters. I can’t really see this product holding up to everyday use from the entire family.The countertops in my new house were almost a deal-breaker for me, but now they look fabulous. But the nice thing is, as long as you’re at least 12 inches from the counter, you won’t notice any imperfections. I made sure to always cut and install in the same direction so it would have an even flow. I am happy with the results but will still buy granite in a few years. First of all it is a bit harder to apply than the video makes it look. If you have a helper it is easier to have the other person hold the film up and pull the backing off as it is laid down while you squeegee the bubbles out.
Diy Fake Granite Countertop | Duration 2 Minutes 19 Seconds There will be imperfections so if you are expecting up close perfect look of granite then don’t buy. I did fold the film under my countertops and stapled it down as well. Ended up just using for the edges and small creases that needed smoothing. The more we tried to smooth them out, the more bubbles appeared. It will shrink it up very slightly and close any air bubble holes, let you smooth out wrinkles/creases, etc. It is probably possible to do it with one person but will take a long time and you’ll most likely end up with more bubbles/creases than you want. I made the mistake of removing all the backing from one of the pieces, so had 1 person holding it up while the other two of us worked as fast as we could to smooth it out. I thought this product would not stick properly because of the grout. It upgraded the look of our countertop without breaking the bank. Don’t over lap more than an inch or so as it sticks really good to it’s self and makes it a lot harder to pick up to get air bubbles out. Make very sure you have a clean surface as every little piece of dirt will show up in the finished product.

Can Granite Film Really Fool The Eye? by patch.com

Dying to give your house some high-end glam at bargain basement prices? Today, we look at vinyl adhesive sheets that aim to give your old countertops the look of polished granite for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. The film didn’t adhere to the underside of the lip, and covering the right angles where the two sides meet was messy, like trying to make a wrapped package look like a solid block. When the sun hits the surface at a certain angle, you can see a few bubbles and puckers and realize it’s not real granite. Compared to my old countertop, the new faux top looks 100% better. I had salvaged the countertop during a demolition project a few years ago, and it has annoyed me ever since. But, customer service told me to heat up the film with a hair dryer, which softened it and allowed it to grasp the lip.

What Are Granite Counter Overlays? by foxgranitecountertops.com

You don’t remove your current countertops and it goes right in. In the early 90’s, when granite was brand new, there were only literally 1 to 5 granite countertop factories in a major city. They would take off people’s countertops, leave them literally without a kitchen sink, and use the countertops for six to eight weeks, then come back in and install them. They’re just doing two days in the shop, one day install, and all this lag in between due to backlog. A quarry uses the finest looking granite and they’d use three centimeters. Well, the response to this new idea kind of dominated for awhile was very popular. As it gets towards 2000, they were going to adjust to making real, actual granite countertops, and they did. And we’re always just two to three weeks because we keep a nice, steady flow, but not too much work coming in to where we’re just too busy. If not, you can still ask me on the phone anything you like about more detail on the subject. Because there were so few people doing it, they were backlogged. You’re doing a small, tiny renovation, and it’s as if they’re doing a multi-million dollar renovation where you’re completely out of place for six to eight weeks. It had to be thinner because you can’t put the same thickness of three centimeters and carry it over. Never mind the structural capabilities of the two centimeters material. It took awhile to really perfect it but, by the time they got to me, that’s the only way people do it these days, unless you do new cabinets. My family and other granite companies knows how to do it, which is you have to work with people’s existing countertops. We do a lot of adjustments in the install and are very good at what we do to make it work. One or two days of you without your kitchen or without use, not the lag in between. Because there are 150 companies, there are only four to six weeks backlog. So you kind of add everything together, lower quality material, thinner, and you still don’t save any time or money.
