• Postform grade: Available in 362 and 372 VDL Postform HPL grades intended for rolled edges on countertop assemblies.
• Large sheet: The 60 in. x 144 in. sheet yields long countertop runs and full-height island layouts with fewer seams.

Coverage & How Much You Need:

One 60 in. x 144 in. sheet provides 60 square feet of decorative surface, enough for a typical countertop deck with a postformed front edge. Plan layout so the grain direction runs along the length of the top.

Fit and Compatibility:

Bond to 45 lb. particleboard or MDF countertop substrate with contact adhesive; a matching backer sheet on the underside is recommended to balance the panel and prevent warping. Sold as the sheet only; substrate, adhesives, edge banding and fabricating labor are separate. Choose 362 or 372 grade according to the edge profile and build-up your postforming line requires.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is included in my order?
A: One Wilsonart Straight Cut Oak Wash laminate sheet, 60 in. x 144 in., in 05 Timbergrain finish in the grade you select (362 or 372 VDL Postform HPL). Substrate and adhesives are sold separately.

Q: Which grade should I choose?
A: Both 362 and 372 are postforming grades meant for rolled (postformed) edges on horizontal surfaces; select the grade your fabricator's build-up and edge profile call for.

Q: How do I install this laminate?
A: Cut to size, apply contact cement to both the laminate and the substrate, then roll the surface down firmly. Postform the front edge over the radius with a postforming setup, and use a backer sheet on the underside to prevent warp.

Q: What substrate works best?
A: Particleboard and MDF are the standard cores for postformed laminate countertops. Always laminate a backer to the underside to keep the panel flat.

Q: Can I use this on vertical surfaces?
A: Postform-grade sheet can be bonded to vertical faces, but for cabinet sides and wall surfaces a vertical-grade sheet is the usual choice; this listing is sized and graded for postformed countertop work.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

For postformed tops, keep the sheet at room temperature for 24 hours before fabrication and rough the back lightly if the bond line feels glossy. Size the deck so the grain runs the length of the counter, and seam deck sheets before forming edges. Choose between 362 and 372 grade to match the radius die on your postforming line.

Wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when cutting laminate; trimmed edges are sharp, and contact adhesive must be used with adequate ventilation.
