Hi. I purchased a sheet of 3mm aluminium composite panel for a previous task, used about a third of it, but still have most of the sheet left.
Now I’m looking at other possible uses for it. The obvious one is as a small splashback in the laundry. I was going to tile this but it’s a lot of work and who likes dirty grout. So I could cut the panel to size and fix it on, but the problem is one edge will be raw. Is there a way to hide this raw edge, some product perhaps already on the market?
The second use is as kickboard on self-made vanities. It’s straightness and rigidity would be a strong plus, and it’s likely to be used as a base for tiles which we usually bring up the kickboard under the vanity. So tiles would be glued on. Is there any negative to this I am overlooking? We usually mop the floor right up to the kickboard, so it would get wet from time to time.
Cheers
