A: One laminate sheet in your selected finish, grade and size; core, adhesive and edgebanding are not included.

A: Yes, the 350 Postform HPL grade is made for rolled-edge countertop fabrication with a postforming machine.
Q: What about cabinet sides?
A: Choose 335 Vertical HPL, a lighter-duty grade designed for vertical surfaces like cabinet ends and wall panels.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Special order non-standard option; allow about 2 weeks if not in stock locally, with a 24-hour window to cancel.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
High gloss espresso looks striking but demands clean shop conditions, since gloss shows fingerprints and scratches during handling; keep the protective film on as long as possible. Softgrain and Linearity finishes are more forgiving in busy kitchens and postform reliably when heated within the press window. Always run a backer sheet to keep dark panels flat over their service life.
Glossy faces can be slippery to hold; wear gloves when carrying large sheets and keep fingers clear when trimming to size.
