Coverage & How Much You Need:

One sheet covers 32 square feet (48 in. x 96 in.), typically enough for a standard countertop top and backsplash on a short run or the deck alone on a longer one. Plan the layout so the postform edge falls on the sheet's length.

Fit and Compatibility:

Bonds to particleboard or MDF countertop substrate with contact adhesive, then forms over a rounded postform edge using heat. Balancing backing laminate, substrate and adhesive are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

A: Postform grade can be used flat on vertical surfaces too, though a vertical grade is typically the more economical choice for cabinet sides and walls.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Charcoal matte hides everyday smudges better than glossier solid colors, making it a practical choice for busy kitchens and work surfaces. Roll the contact cement evenly, heat the postform edge uniformly, and keep the forming radius matched to your edge profile. Always bond a balancing backer sheet to the underside to keep the panel flat, and support the full 96 in. sheet when handling.

Use proper ventilation when applying contact adhesive and wear gloves and eye protection when heating and forming the laminate edge.
