Coverage & How Much You Need:

One 60 in. x 144 in. sheet covers 60 square feet, enough for a full countertop run including edge allowance and sink cutout waste. The pattern is directional, so keep the wave direction the same on every piece you cut for a single project.

Fit and Compatibility:

Apply with contact adhesive to a 45 lb particleboard or MDF core and balance the underside with a backer laminate to prevent warping. This design is a specialty virtual laminate; match seams by keeping grain direction consistent, and confirm edge band availability separately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is included in the order?
A: One 60 in. x 144 in. Wilsonart Eggplant laminate sheet in 60 Matte finish, postforming grade. Substrate, adhesive and backer are sold separately.

Q: Is this sheet for countertops or walls?
A: It is postform grade, intended for horizontal surfaces where the edge is rolled over; for vertical applications check other grades of this design.

Q: Why does the pattern direction matter?
A: Eggplant is a directional, wavy pattern, so all pieces on one job must be cut with the same orientation or the waves will not align.

Q: Can it be formed over a rounded edge?
A: Yes, the 372 VDL postform grade is designed for rolled-edge fabrication with standard postforming radii.

Q: How do I keep the sheet flat before install?
A: Store the sheet flat on a level surface and laminate both faces (surface and backer) to keep the core from drawing up.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Because the wave pattern is directional, mark an arrow on the back of every cut piece before gluing. Use a sharp, negative-hook blade when trimming matte laminate to avoid chipping the saturated color, and roll the sheet down evenly with a hand roller to eliminate voids. A balancing backer on the underside is essential on this width to keep long runs flat.

Laminate trim edges are razor sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves, eye protection and a dust mask, and use contact adhesive with adequate ventilation.
