Building a 'support beam' atop the counter
Moving into this house soon and planning a Kitchen reno including backsplash, floating shelves, etc. We dont really love the look of tile backsplash just abruptly ending- so we want to build a small partition, or a "fake support" where we can end the backsplash- as well as start the dining room's new paint. My only question is how do I terminate the end onto the counter? Can i just surface mount it and the caulk the edges? or will I need to cut out the countertop to extend the fake beam past the surface of the counter? See picture below for what were working with. side question- could we just put a fancy piece of trim there that matches the thickness of the beam above it? or would I want to build in a thicker "beam" that is a little bigger? https://preview.redd.it/ujckpm8hgfve1.png?width=1014&format=png&auto=webp&s=064875d96d9600214f2f64ae3de2339bfffb0496 submitted by /u/jaymechie [link] [comments]
