Re-laminating Service

[chquek 0]

Hi,

I am thinking of re-do the laminate of my old kitchen cabinets. Not sure if it is feasible or not.

Anybody has done that before? Or have any contact? Any idea how much it will cost?

Thanks in advance.

re-laminate not easy as far as I know.. to remove the original laminate and paste with new one.

Think gonna to use hot gun to remove it... I yet to find one to re-do laminate.

I do know where to get laminate. I just got it from Formica 4" x 8" for around SGD 50.

You need to use thinner to dissolve the adhesive glue.

For laminate, there are Lam Chuan, Seng Lee, Evershine etc which has the less than $20/- solid colour laminate.

It is not easy to apply the glue and to paste the laminate.

In Industrial practice, we normally dumped away incorrect fabrication to save cost unless its a minor problem.

The dim ension of high pressure laminate is normally 1220mm x 2440m x 0.7mm thk.

Higher price for thickness of 0.8mm & 1mmthk , special colour and the special print like birdseye or the s/s hairline finishing which cost not less than $100/- a pc.

There are soft laminate in 0.5mm thk that can wrap round edges whereby you buy in per ft run.

Seng Lee or Lam Chuan's quality is not bad.

Hi .. where to get Seng Lee or Lam Chuan laminate? Thinking of getting thinner or soft laminate in near future. Thick is hard to manage.

You can order at retailing hardware shop.

Flexi-laminate does not have the plastic lamination, it can be rolled up before pasting onto wood, just like pasting wall paper. I think only jenings carry this, it is called '软皮‘

Pasting of laminates is not easy for both thin or thick sheets.

For the high plastic laminate, you hold onto the top & bottom portion bending it little when pasting it onto the wood.

Best to place a pc of unglue laminate in between the two pcs so that you can align it better and to reduce more air traps.
