Your Guide To Everything Laminate

Two Kinds of Laminate

Post Form

Laminate is rolled over a particle board substrate to create a continuous and seamless front. 

Advantages:

  • Seamless front and backsplash with no visible seams

  • Decorative edge treatments (e.g., seamless bullnose)

  • Lower cost and faster availability

  • Ideal for straight runs or simple L-shaped layout

Custom

Laminate is applied to a substrate, and the edge is added separately, allowing each piece to be built to exact specifications.

Advantages:

  • Can be made to any size, depth, or shape

  • Greater design flexibility: choose edge styles, backsplash heights, etc. 

  • Better fit for complex layouts (L-shaped kitchens, islands, built-ins)

What Can Laminate Do?

Laminates Capabilities and Features

Laminate surfaces have come a long way, offering a perfect balance of durability, design flexibility, and everyday practicality. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, bathroom, or workspace, laminate delivers performance you can rely on—without sacrificing style.

Built to Last
Laminate is designed to handle the demands of daily life. Its durable, wear-resistant surface stands up to everyday use, helping your space look fresh and polished for years with proper care.

Designed for Anywhere
From countertops to accent walls, laminate isn’t limited to just one application. It can be installed both horizontally and vertically, giving you the freedom to carry your design seamlessly throughout a space and create a cohesive, custom look.

Made to Handle Real Life
Life happens—bumps, drops, and everyday impact. Laminate surfaces are built to resist cracking and damage, making them a dependable choice for busy homes and high-traffic areas.

Seamless, Stylish Edges
With postforming capabilities, laminate can be shaped to create smooth, continuous edges without visible seams. This not only enhances the overall look but also makes cleaning easier and adds to the sleek, finished feel of your countertops, vanities, and tabletops.

Endless Design Possibilities
Available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures—including realistic stone and wood looks—laminate allows you to achieve the style you love at a more accessible price point.

Laminate is more than just a surface—it’s a smart, stylish solution that brings durability, versatility, and design together in one beautiful package.
