Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Use 335 Vertical grade for cabinet ends and tall panels to save weight and cost, and reserve 350 Postform for horizontal tops that will be rolled on a postformer. Always bond a backer sheet to the underside of horizontal tops. The narrow 30 in. and 36 in. wide sheets are handy for one-piece tops on standard-depth counters without a cross seam.
Cutting and routing laminate produces sharp edges and dust; wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask, and work with adequate ventilation.
