Coverage & How Much You Need:
One 48 in. x 96 in. sheet covers 32 sq. ft. and one 48 in. x 120 in. sheet covers 40 sq. ft. Size cabinet sides and wall panels to make the most of the 48 in. sheet width and allow trimming allowance on all edges.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Vertical grade is the economical pick for the cabinet boxes, doors and wall panels you do day in and day out, saving the heavier horizontal grades for the tops. Cut panels slightly oversize, trim flush after bonding, and sand the substrate evenly so the Cashmere texture does not telegraph flaws. Keep a matching backer on wide panels to control warp. Check the color under your shop lighting before bonding, since dark neutrals read differently by light source.
Laminate sheets have sharp cut edges and trimming generates fine dust, so wear cut-resistant gloves, eye protection and a dust mask while cutting and handling.
Order the Arborite S434 Charcoal vertical grade laminate sheet in Cashmere finish and 48 in. x 96 in. or 48 in. x 120 in. for your casework.
