Coverage & How Much You Need:

A single sheet provides up to 60 sq. ft. (60 in. x 144 in.) of surface coverage before trimming; smaller sizes range down to 20 sq. ft. (30 in. x 96 in.). Size your job by laying out parts within the selected sheet, allowing trim margin at each edge.

Fit and Compatibility:

Standard and postforming sheets bond to particleboard or MDF substrates with contact adhesive; 1/2 in. compact panels are self-supporting and need no substrate. Backer sheets, adhesives and edge banding are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is included with my order?
A: One sheet or panel in the finish, grade and size you select from the listed variants. Adhesives, substrates and backers are sold separately.

Q: Which grade is right for a countertop?
A: Choose 350 Postform HPL for rolled front edges, 350 Postform High Wear for heavy-use countertops, or 568 Compact HPL when you want a 1/2 in. self-supporting panel.

Q: What is 390 Chemsurf grade for?
A: Chemsurf is a chemical-resistant HPL intended for surfaces exposed to harsh chemicals, such as laboratory and healthcare work surfaces.

Q: When should I use the fire-rated grade?
A: The 604 Fire Rated Vertical HPL is for vertical interior surfaces where a fire-rating specification applies; confirm your project's code requirements before ordering.

Q: How long does a special order take?
A: If not in stock locally, allow approximately a 2-week lead time for delivery, with a 24-hour window to cancel the special order.

Q: How do I align the pattern at seams?
A: The design repeats approximately every 60 in. in width and 15 in. in length, so lay out parts to keep the repeat consistent across adjoining pieces.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

This is one of the most versatile listings in the Casual Linen design: pick Fine Velvet on 350 Postform for typical countertops, Matte on High Wear postform for busy commercial tops, and 568 compact for waterfall edges or partitions. For vertical cabinet sides, 335 Vertical grade keeps cost down without sacrificing durability. Always balance-bond a backer sheet on substrate work and keep panels acclimated in the shop before fabrication.

Laminate sheet edges are sharp and large sheets are heavy; use two people or a panel carrier when handling and wear gloves and eye protection when cutting, with ventilation when applying contact adhesive.
