Worktop/wall edging strip - recommendations please

May 07, 2025 Last reply: 1 year ago 3 Replies

I'm spring cleaning our wooden worktops, they're in surprisingly good condition considering the abuse they get. A quick rub down with a scouring pad and a couple of coats of Danish Oil is all they seem to need.



However the wooden quadrant at the back is tatty and I want to replace it. It's currently about a 10mm radius quadrant and I want something around the same sort of size, maybe a fraction bigger. Something nice and easy and self-adhesive would be nice, but it needs to be beige[ish] rather than white.



Any recommendations anyone? If I have to I will simply replace with a new wood quadrant but I'm hoping there may be something easier and/or better available.


Not entirely serious, but:

comes in 22mm 'light oak-effect' and 'stainable' wood-grain versions. Self adhesive backing.

Bonus points that you can run some wires in it :-)

In my experience anything that is "self adhesive" with regards to trim the glue fails in a few years - and without a sealant water will get between the two surfaces.

Water will get there regardless of sealant, I prefer making sure that the space can dry out properly if it does get wet. It has worked pretty well that way for 20 years or so.
