Finishes
#1 High Gloss: A mirror sheen finish which gives a smooth, brilliant appearance. Excellent for any vertical application. Laminates with a high gloss finish can be used for horizontal application only in
light use areas. We recommend that it not be used on horizontal work surfaces such as countertops. Glossometer reading: MD and CD 100 ± 10.
#7 Textured Gloss: A textured finish which reproduces the high sheen of waxed wood furniture. Recommended for horizontal and vertical application. Available only on those designs for which it is the
standard finish. Glossometer reading: MD and CD 36 ± 3.
#38 Fine Velvet Texture: A smooth textured finish with moderate reflective value. Recommended for horizontal and vertical application. Available only on those designs for which it is the standard finish.
Glossometer reading: MD and CD 14 ± 2
#50 Touchstone: A pebbled texture with the look and feel of coarse-grained sand. Recommended for vertical and non-writing horizontal surfaces in residential and commercial applications. Glossometer
reading: MD and CD 10 ± 2.
#52 Quarry: Premium finish emulating the “pitted” look of polished natural stone. Available on a select number of designs only. Glossometer reading: MD 55 ± 5.
#60 Matte: Textured finish with a moderate reflective quality. Recommended for horizontal and vertical application. Glossometer reading: MD and CD 10 ± 2.
#78 FineGrain: The FineGrain premium finish features the polish and luxe of a real wood veneer, with a subtle, narrow grain structure. Recommended for horizontal and vertical application.
Glossometer reading: MD and CD 38 ± 3.
#90 Crystal: A very finely beaded texture that minimizes smudges and finger marks and improves scratch resistance. Recommended for horizontal and vertical application. Glossometer reading: MD
and CD 13 ± 3.
NOTE: Glossometer readings are made at a 60° angle of incidence. MD refers to the machine direction of a laminate sheet, and CD refers to the cross direction. Finish Availability: Not all finishes are available in all patterns/colors. Some finish options have limited size availability.

Ideal Applications

General Purpose (HGS) Type 107 is most frequently used for work surfaces on counters, islands, vanities, desks and tables. Typical vertical uses include surfacing for wall panels, teller cages and the front panels of workstations, such as those in hospitals, airports and restaurants. Type 107 is produced for both horizontal and vertical interior applications where the surface must be functional, durable and decorative.

Postforming (HGP) Type 350 adds the decorative capability of a soft edge to any typical laminate use. Common applications of postforming laminates are formed edges for counters, desktops,
cabinet doors and drawer panels. Type 350 is intended for use on vertical and horizontal interior surfaces where it is necessary or desirable to roll the laminate on a simple radius over the edge of
the substrate. This eliminates seams and leaves an attractive surface.

Vertical Surface (VGP) Type 335 is the usual choice to surface cabinet walls, doors and drawer panels. It often appears on the vertical surfaces of desks, restaurants booths and maitre d’stations, and as architectural cladding. Type 335 is intended for vertical applications where a functional, durable, decorative surface must absorb somewhat less impact than a comparable horizontal surface. VGP surfaces may be postformed to achieve radiused edges.

Decorative surface papers impregnated with melamine resins are pressed over kraft paper core sheets impregnated with phenolic resin. These sheets are then bonded at pressures greater than 1000 pounds per square inch at temperatures approaching 300°F (149°C). Finished sheets are trimmed, and the backs are sanded to facilitate bonding.

Physical Properties

Decorative surface papers impregnated with melamine resins are pressed over kraft paper core sheets impregnated with phenolic resin. These sheets are then bonded at pressures greater than
1000 pounds per square inch at temperatures approaching 300°F (149°C). Finished sheets are trimmed, and the backs are sanded to facilitate bonding.

Do not subject Wilsonart® Laminate to extremes in humidity, temperatures higher than 275°F (135°C) for substantial periods of time, or intense, continuous, direct sunlight.

Wilsonart® Laminate is for interior use only and is not recommended for direct application to plaster, concrete walls, or gypsum wallboard. It is not structural material and must be bonded to a suitable
substrate.
