Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Because the banana fiber pattern is strongly directional, dry-fit all pieces before gluing and keep grain direction consistent across doors, ends and decks. Softgrain gives a warm tactile surface for cabinetry, while Linearity suits sleek horizontal runs. Pair with a backer sheet under countertops to keep panels flat.
Use gloves, eye protection and dust control when cutting laminate; trimmed edges are sharp.
