Product Information
Full details
The D-C-Fix Kitchen Worktop Wrap in black is designed for homeowners and renters looking to refresh their kitchen surfaces affordably without the need for a full renovation. Its primary benefit is the ability to transform dated countertops with a durable, wipe-clean finish that is easy to apply and fully removable. The main caveat is that while the material is heat-resistant up to 70 degrees Celsius, it is not impervious to high heat, necessitating the use of worktop savers for hot pans and cutting boards for food preparation.

FAQs
Can I put hot pans directly on the wrap?
No, while the vinyl is heat-resistant up to 70 degrees Celsius, you should always use a worktop saver for hot pans.
Is this safe for use near a sink?
Yes, but you must seal the edges where the vinyl meets the sink with a silicone sealant to prevent water from lifting the edges.
Can I use this wrap on a textured countertop?
The wrap is designed for smooth surfaces; highly textured surfaces may prevent the adhesive from bonding effectively.
How do I remove the wrap?
Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the film; the heat softens the adhesive, allowing you to peel it away carefully.
What tools do I need for installation?
A sharp utility knife, a squeegee or soft cloth for smoothing, and a hairdryer for corners are recommended.
What are the dimensions of the roll?
Each roll measures 67.5cm in width by 3m in length.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles remaining under the film
Use a pin to prick the bubble gently and smooth the air out towards the hole with a squeegee.
Vinyl is lifting at the edges
Re-warm the edge with a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive and press firmly back into place; apply silicone sealant to prevent further lifting.
Film is creasing around corners
Apply more heat with a hairdryer to make the material more pliable and pull it taut around the curve.
Pros and Cons

- Fully removable for rental-friendly updates
- High-quality adhesion and durability ratings

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your worktop is completely free of dust and grease. Apply the film slowly, working from the center outward to push out air pockets. It is critical to seal the edges near sinks and hobs with a silicone sealant; this prevents water from seeping underneath the vinyl, which would otherwise cause it to lift. For maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. When removing the film in the future, use a hairdryer to gently warm the surface, which softens the adhesive and allows for a clean, damage-free peel.
