Coverage & How Much You Need:

Fit and Compatibility:
Works with standard HPL fabrication practice: bond to 45 lb particleboard or MDF cores with contact adhesive and use matching Wilsonart edge or backer material where needed. Backer sheets are sold separately and are recommended on undersides to balance the panel.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For rolled-edge countertops choose the 350 Postform grade and confirm the sheet is ordered in postform grade, since standard and fire-rated grades behave differently in the forming radius. Balance every top with a backer sheet bonded to the underside to prevent bowing. On runs longer than one sheet, locate seams away from sinks and cooktops and match the blocked pattern at the joint.
Follow contact adhesive and router safety practices, work in a ventilated area, and verify fire-rating requirements with local code before selecting a grade.
