You will need…

d-c-fix® Terrazzo neo adhesive foil
d-c-fix® Uni Matt sand adhesive foil
d-c-fix® application kit with doctor blade & utility knife

Pencil
Scale
Ruler

Let’s go!

And this is how the makeover for the kitchen island works:

Step 1

Clean the surfaces of the kitchen island to be covered with a damp cloth and rub dry.

Step 2

Now hold the Terrazzo neo foil with the reverse side facing upwards on the work surface and determine the required foil dimension plus some buffer – mark the dimension on the grid with a pencil.

Proceed in the same way with the Sand matt adhesive foil for the other surfaces of the kitchen island.

Step 3

Remove the backing paper from the cut piece of foil and smooth it onto the surface using the doctor blade.

Step 4

For a good bonding result at the edges, cut the foil diagonally at the corners.

Step 5

Fold down the overhanging foil and smooth it down well using the doctor blade.

Step 6

Now fold the cut corners on the side part to the front, press firmly and smooth into place.

Step 7

Fold the adhesive foil down at the front edge, fit it around the edge and press it firmly into place – apply the adhesive foil on all sides using this method.
