In reply to R. I wouldn't place a pan straight from the stovetop onto it because it might melt, but I haven't had a problem with hot plates from the microwave. We couldn't put high heat items on the laminate countertop either, so we're used to it.

is this brand of contact paper at all heat resistant? Could it handle high temp?

In reply to Becca. You could probably knead dough on it just fine! I'd pick a spot on the counter where there aren't any seams in the contact paper, but otherwise it would work just like a laminate countertop would. I wouldn't cut on the surface because it might cut the contact paper in the process, and you don't want little bits of it in your food! :)

Are you able to knead dough on it? And is the worry with cutting on it just that it could pierce or scratch the surface?

This is amazing! We are about to close on a beautiful but dated house, and the kitchen has ugly greenish black laminate countertops. I had resigned myself to the fact that we wouldn't be able to afford new countertops for most likely a few years and I'd just have to live with ugly counters until then. Then I came across this post! I checked out the other colors and found one I love and now I am excited to put them on and transform the whole kitchen!

I had been debating working on this project in my kitchen and have been putting it off. I have been slowly organizing and decluttering this would be th perfect time to do this project. Thanks for all of your information, you answered all of my questions.

In reply to Rebecca G. It depends on how much texture is in the laminate. This particular contact paper is pretty thick, so it would cover the texture well. It's not too expensive, so you could buy a single roll to try out!

Hi I am wondering if you think this will work on textured laminate counter tops or not? I'm thinking it wouldn't but maybe you have an easy solution I'm not thinking of.

This is brilliant! I use contact paper in all my cabinets but would have never thought of using it to cover up an ugly countertop. Such a great idea!
