Coverage & How Much You Need:
A 48 in. x 96 in. sheet covers 32 sq ft and a 60 in. x 144 in. sheet covers 60 sq ft. Pick a size that trims out cleanly for your run, and balance horizontal installations with a backer sheet on the underside.
Fit and Compatibility:
Standard, vertical and postforming grades bond with contact adhesive to particleboard, MDF or plywood; the 1/2 in. compact panels stand alone. Chemsurf grade pairs with the same substrates where chemical resistance is required. Backer laminate sold separately.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For countertops, the 350 Postform grade rolls a clean bullnose-style edge; keep the postforming radius consistent and warm the sheet properly before bending. In labs, specify Chemsurf over a sealed substrate and seal all cut edges and seams. The 1/2 in. compact panels machine well forpartition and casework panels but are heavy, so use two people on 60 in. x 144 in. sheets.
Support full sheets on a flat table when cutting and wear a dust mask and eye protection; laminate edges and chips are sharp.
Order Wilsonart 7946 Brazilwood laminate in the grade and size your countertop or casework requires.
