Finding HPL faced ply is harder than I thought it would be. Anyone know where's good to buy?

Albert or Hejne?

What about ball bearing castors set in a line?

Felt?

Or maybe start thinking outside the box ;)

(gets coat...)

Felt. Bang.

Does this type of fitting ring any bells for any one?

There's a product called Richlite which is similar to HPL faced ply, most large scale joiners can laminate anything anyway, that's why you don't see it on the market much.

Felt pads....

bit slow there.

Richlite looks really interesting! Might investigate that a bit more in the future. Any idea of cost?
For now, have found somewhere to buy HPL faced birch ply - this place, if you're interested: http://brilliart.co.uk/#

Spray the door with water to reduce the risk of fibres wafting into the air and your nose. Then remove the door and wrap it in heavy duty polythene (rubble bags are good. You may have to slice therm into sheets). Seal the bags without letting air puff out too much. Then you have to measure the area of each individual sheet and put it on the form they post you after you phone them and then you post it back to them and then they tell you when they can collect. Budget several weeks

Should I store outside while I wait? Or leave until I absolutely know when they are coming?

Get an FFP3 dust mask, disposable boiler suit and disposable gloves for when you remove. I'd get rid of it straight away if the area is inhabited. I'd also mop up any potential dust afterwards.

Yeah it's in my house right now.

DIY some pads (with recessed tapered holes for screws) out of UHMW sheet.
edit - this is for the sliding boxes

When you get a chance, spray them to soak them as already suggested and wear protection like I mentioned. Better safe than sorry when it comes to disturbing it, even though you won't actually be breaking the material itself by removing the doors.

We did something very similar at our last place with two layers of 18mm birch ply sandwiched together with a Formica top (Formica ColourCore with through colour to avoid showing any scores etc.).

We dealt directly with James Latham (http://www.lathamtimber.co.uk/) who did everything including pencil edges to the exposed edges to avoid sharp corners. It wasn't as cheap as an Ikea worktop but was considerably cheaper than any kind of stone worktop and looked very impressive.

Feel free to message me if you need any more info

if you go with lathams let me know beforehand, see if I can get you a deal
