Laminate, Formica®, and Wilsonart® are all essentially the same thing; laminate is the substance, and Formica® and Wilsonart® are the brand names. Both types are widely marketed for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and bar counters and available in a variety of colors and designs.

Formica^® Brand Laminate offers a broader range of looks than ever before. Transform spaces with our modern laminates that are as beautiful as they are durable.

Understanding How Formica Countertops are Made They're made of plastic phenolic resins that are laminated onto layers of the ordinary brown kraft paper, and then a printed decorative layer is added, topped by a strong wear-resistant layer and a thin and transparent melamine resin layer for maximum protection.

If you're looking for a new solid surface material for your kitchen or bath, it's nearly impossible to go wrong with Formica Solid Surfacing. The Formica name is one that is widely known and respected in laminate countertops and has developed an equally respected reputation for solid surface countertops.
