How to add slats to kitchen island?

I want to know how to put the slat boards onto the kitchen island. 

There are pre made sheets of slats and black backing at around 2.4m long. 
Not sure what they are called but I need to know how to fix to the laminate on the island. 
Do I need to take the laminate off or can I glue straight on.

Re: i want to reface the kitchen island with slats

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @BTBFB. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about installing panelling.

Here's the Surround by Laminex installation guide. Typically it is best to install the panels with Liquid Nails and fixings such as nails or screws. You could leave the laminate on your island, but it might be an idea to scuff it up with 180-grit sandpaper to ensure the adhesive has something to grip to.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
