Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Arctic Tundra is a soft neutral that pairs well with wood and white cabinetry in residential countertop work. Select the A4 Postform grade for rolled-edge tops and lay out your cuts so the finished piece stays within one sheet where possible. Keep sheets stored flat and acclimated in the shop before postforming and bonding.
Wear gloves and eye protection when cutting laminate; edges and offcuts are sharp, and large sheets should be handled by two people.
Order your Arborite P396 Arctic Tundra postforming laminate sheet in the size your countertop needs.
