Now you can create and define your design vision with a timeless palette versatile enough to enhance any interior. Bring the luxury look of stone and the practical advantages of laminate to your kitchen countertop or island, a bathroom vanity, bar or wherever inspiration takes you.
Real woods or stones don’t repeat!
To solve this, Formica Group has raised the bar with the use of innovative printing technology, delivering a collection of large scale designs that captures every little nuance of natural stone in true scale without the repetition of décor pattern!
A décor repeat is typically the giveaway factor of using HPL in large scale application areas. This is because a regular HPL décor repeat is approximately 600 – 750 mm wide which is only able to fit usual applications sizes like worktops or kitchen doors.
