Specifications Table:

Coverage & How Much You Need:

One sheet covers its full listed dimension; a 48 in. x 96 in. sheet yields about 32 square feet before trim loss. Choose 60 in. x 144 in. sheets to minimize seams on long countertop runs and allow for trimming.

Fit and Compatibility:

Bond to dimensionally stable 45 lb particleboard or MDF with contact adhesive and use a balancing backer sheet on the underside. Exposed edges need edge banding or a matching edge treatment; the 568 Compact panels can be used self-supporting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is included in one sell unit?
A: One laminate sheet in the finish, grade and size selected; substrate, adhesive and edge banding are sold separately.

Q: Which grade is best for countertops?
A: 107 Standard HPL or 350 Postform HPL for horizontal work; pick the high wear versions for commercial traffic and 350 Postform for rolled edges.

Q: What is Chemsurf used for?
A: 390 Chemsurf HPL is the chemical-resistant grade, suited to surfaces exposed to frequent cleaning chemicals or laboratory-type use.

Q: What is the lead time?
A: This is a special order; if not in stock locally, allow approximately a 2-week lead time, with a 24-hour window to cancel.

Q: How thick are the compact panels?
A: The 568 Compact HPL items are listed in 1/2 in. thickness as printed.

Q: How do I choose a sheet size?
A: Lay out your parts first and pick the smallest sheet that covers each piece; wider 60 in. sheets suit deep tops and longer runs.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

This warm bronze fiber design works well paired with woodgrain laminates on cabinet ends and plinth areas. Use 350 Postform with a properly machined rolled-edge substrate, or 107 Standard with square edges; always balance the substrate with a backer sheet to prevent warping. In labs or healthcare settings select 390 Chemsurf, and in compact self-supporting applications use the 1/2 in. 568 panels routed and grooved for dividers. Let sheets acclimate before gluing to avoid telegraphing and bond line issues.

Cut laminate edges and trim scraps are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when cutting, routing and handling large sheets.
