Thanks for sharing your experience with creating a metallic kickboard!
Using brushed stainless steel sounds like a great idea, and it's good to know that it can be glued directly to the kickboard. Copper could also be an option, but it's important to keep in mind that the length of the sheet will determine where the joins end up, so it may not be ideal for larger islands.
In addition to using actual metal, there are also paints available that can create a metallic finish. This could be a more budget-friendly option, but it's important to choose a high-quality paint that will adhere well and provide a durable finish.
Overall, there are multiple ways to achieve the look of a brushed gold metallic kickboard, and it's up to personal preference and budget. Thanks again for sharing your input, it's always great to hear from others who have tackled similar projects!
Hello, De, talk to your Kitchen designer, kitchen manufacturer, they will know and be able to show you that Laminate Manufacturers like Laminex, Wilsonart and Polytec (see links) all make a range of real metals laid on to 0.8mm thick Laminate sheet that your Cabinetmaker can lay up on to your Bases and other trim as you desire.
Hi there, brands like Polytec and Laminex have a range of laminates in metallic colours that are hard wearing and cost effective! Good luck with your project.
