I requested samples from them and they didn't include that color. I am also interested in these countertops but with gas burners.

I'd do a white Corian island. It's just too much green and too heavy.

I like it! Yolo!

Many areas don't allow a cooktop in front of a window. Better check with your local area.

Good point. It meets code. I should have added that above the cooktop is a 36" Vent-A-Hood insert in the cabinet.

If the Fenix and the Kallarp are not identical in color, this color blocking effort will not work. It will look like a big miss instead of a home run.

I’d rather see the island in its own block of color other than the green. Maybe all wood. Or all orange. Or something other than white or green.

If rather see you fix the layout and get that cooking zone out from under the window snd that fridge outbof the depths of the kitchen to the perimeter. As in, that hutch should house Kitchen stuff, and the island can morph to an island-table to allow that to happen.

Fenix NTM makes an excellent countetop. It has an NSF rating, so it can come in contact with food. The Nano Technology, makes it mold resistant, highly anti-bacterial, very scratch resistant, and if it does get scratched, you can thermoheal and repair them. We have customers that use Fenix as countertops daily. It has a soft touch and is highly resistant to acids and solvents. With all these features it makes an ideal counterops and cabinetry. It is a considerable step up from high pressure laminate. You can get samples of the Verde Comodoro if you still need them at www.na.rehau.com or the link that is attached. Everything is stocked domestically for short lead times. What is Fenix NTM ?

Almost all of the kitchens I do are with Fenix material as well as Fenix fronts for Ikea cabinets. The only time I've used it on a horizontal surface was on furniture pieces and vanities. I wouldn't use it on a heavy use surface. Although very durable a deep scratch can't really be repaired. Issues about how to deal with the sink also. Never used the Verde but when you say "Grey green" to me that's more the Londra which I use a lot.

Here's a kitchen we just did with "Grigio Londra" wall cabinets and "Bianco Kos" island with Corian top.

Very nice looking project and looks very well done. Good job! Grigio Londra, Bianco Kos and Nero Ingo are our biggest selling colors, but I havent heard of anyone, that has put Fenix Nano - Tech Matte surfaces, into thier designs, be dissapointed. They all love it. You are correct deep scatches and cuts (razor blade, knife and nail types of scratches) but normal everyday scratches can be repaired with an iron, or a melamine sponge, as the friction it develops, rubbing it fast back and forth, creates enough heat to relax the surface back up into place, making the scratch disappear. We have actually had microscratches repair themselves, and just go away on thier own after a couple weeks. Fenix NTM is a truly amazing surface!

Does anyone know how to get samples of the Fenix NTM “Bloom” colors and the NTA metallic colors? I’ve ordered samples of some of the standard NTM colors, but I’m very interested in the metallic color options for the countertop of an island. I’d like to know if the NTA colors pair well with any of the brighter “Bloom” colors.

The Fenix NTA color “Hamilton “ looks like brushed stainless steel. The problem you are going to have on a countertop application are the edges. Beside finding someone to fabricate it for you it’s the most problematic issue with using any Fenix laminate for countertop. The 1.2 mm through color can be mitered and blended pretty well but can also look like a hack job by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Also the price of 1.2 is a lot higher and can’t be rolled to ship so you will pay for crating. The metallic is not through color so it has to be edge banded. I do not like what the edgebanding looks like on the metalics. You see a clear line around the perimeter because the metallic layer is only on the outside. Don’t know if “bloom” colors are available here. Haven’t checked but Fenix in now being made in North America as well as Europe.

Thank you for the response. Do you know how much more the 1.2mm is vs the other thicknesses? From what I understand from your response; the 1.2 mm doesn’t look bad on the edges if you find a proper/talented installer. However, the other thicknesses don’t do the material justice due the edge banding. I’ll forward these concerns to the rep I’ve had contact with and post any response I get.
Thank you

Standard thickness is .09 mm on a phenolic backer. 1.2 is just that 1.2 mm solid color all the way through. That thickness and solid color makes it possible to miter and blend in the edges together. This is not the easiest thing to do on a long countertop. This technique which is called a “miter fold” and is best done on a CNC machine. Edgebanding is fine if done with laser banding. I‘m talking about non-metalic here the metalics have different issues that I already mentioned and do not come in solid 1.2 mm metal. I don’t know what rep you talked to. Working with this material for 5 or 6 years now I know most of them and I dont think you’ll get more than general information but it’s worth a try.

If I were going to to do a large island in an NTA color what configuration would you suggest? 12’ X 3’ island
