Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Keep film on gloss and linearity faces through fabrication and postforming, then remove it only at final installation to avoid scratches. Use 107 Standard grade for flat work and 350 Postform for the rolled edge, matching the finish code across edge and top. On 30 in. wide sheets, plan seams and grain direction across long runs before cutting.
Wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when cutting or routing laminate; cut edges are sharp and dust is irritating.
Order Wilsonart Rio 7947K laminate in the finish, grade and sheet size for your next build.
