Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For restaurant and retail millwork the Textured Gloss and Fine Grain finishes hide handling marks better than the High Gloss. Film finishes offer added surface protection, so specify the +Film variants where heavy use is expected. Run test pieces on the postformer for gloss grades, since radius cracking is less forgiving in glossy surfaces, and keep sheets flat in storage to avoid telegraphing onto the substrate.
Handle large sheets with two people, wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, and use dust extraction when routing or sawing laminate.
