Formica Natural Oak 346 Laminate Sheet Formica

What is High Pressure Laminate (HPL)?

HPL is a decorative surface which composes of a resin impregnated kraft paper
creating rigidity, a decorative paper to display the design of the laminate,
and a clear melamine overlay on top for protection. All of these components
are bonded together using high pressure and heat. Once created, the HPL can be
bonded to a substrate such as plywood, particle board, or MDF with ease using
contact cement/adhesive.

How do I select a thickness?

The thickness of HPL you need depends on your application. Please find the
description for both thicknesses below:

• Vertical Grade: Vertical Grade laminates are the choice for surfacing cabinet
  walls, doors and drawer panels. A couple examples of applications are vertical
  surfaces of desks and restaurant booths. Vertical Grade laminates are made
  to also be functional, durable, and decorative, but generally are used where
  the surface must absorb somewhat less impact than a comparable horizontal
  surface and serve mostly as architectural cladding.
• Postforming Grade: Postforming Grade laminates are used mainly for horizontal
  surfaces such as kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, islands, desk tops
  and table tops. Postforming Grade is thicker than Vertical Grade laminates
  which gives the sheet more wear and tear capability.

When will I receive my laminate?

Formica laminates are held locally in our region and can leave same day or
next day depending on availability. If stock is available to ship same day,
the order must be placed by 11 AM EST for it to be ready for the carrier to
pick up.

If stock is not available in the local warehouses, the order will need to
be fulfilled from the southeastern Formica fulfillment warehouse. This
process typically takes 5-7 business days for delivery to our warehouse
which we then turn around to ship to you. If no stock is found in this
warehouse, the laminate will need to be manufactured and can take three
weeks for fulfillment. To verify quantities before ordering,
please give us a call at (321) 300-4854 or leave an email message at
[email protected].
