Hi guys - newbie so go easy on me please!.
i'd really like to fit start galaxy granite worktops in my kitchen but the cost is too much.
tiles are available much more cheaply than complete tops and i wonder in anyone has tried using these in a 'diy' fashion to make a worktop. 600mm square size tiles are freely available and since the two worktops i need are both straight with no edges to finish i'm considering giving this a go.
my idea is to fit them on 18mm ply and butt them so i guess it would be a case of ensuring that they are exactly square and flat. the visible edge would be stainless steel strip (to match the carcass doors) bonded with epoxy to the edge of the tiles/plywood.
any ideas or comments welcome.
