Laminate Finishes

The texture of a laminate surface is created during the pressing process – either with a steel plate or a foil release paper.  Wilsonart Laminates are standard with textures that compliment the visual of the design.  Alternate textures are available, and vary per design. For information regarding alternate texture choices, sizes, and up-charges, please see Pattern Availability.  All non-standard combinations carry a longer lead time.  Some textures carry a premium.  Click here for a printer-friendly PDF.
