And an array of new products that set ever-higher standards for design, technology and quality over a range of price points. Today, Formica offers countless possibilities for inspired design in residential, corporate, hospitality, health care and many other environments. From countertops and cabinets to sinks and doors, Formica Corporation is perfectly suited to achieve the look and performance you desire. It is our pleasure to introduce to you the complete Formica family of products – everything you want and need in surfacing.

Laminate: Formica® brand laminates are available in an exciting selection of colors, patterns and textures. Perfect for vertical and horizontal surfaces where high style and high performance are in demand. Durable, flexible, color and affordable. That’s the allure of Formica brand laminates.

Solid Surfacing: Formica® Solid Surfacing is ultra-smooth and ultra-versatile. Choose from classic solids or nature-inspired patterns. Formica Solid Surfacing is made from a single homogenous material so color and pattern are continuous from top to bottom. It’s stain resistant, and easy to care for, even with heavy use. Formica Solid Surfacing brings an elegant feel to any application from countertops, bars and tabletops to windowsills. Formica Solid Surfacing, its beauty runs deep.

Quartz Surfacing: Formica® Stone natural quartz surfacing provides high-end results and top-shelf performance. Unlike real stone, Formica Stone is nonporous, making it resistant to stains, chemicals and scratches. With warm, natural stone and rich jewel granite looks to choose from, you can add distinction to any application. Tables, counters, bars and desks take on a new dimension of quality with Formica Stone natural quartz surfacing.

Wood Surfacing: Formica® Veneer premium wood surfacing takes the beauty of the forest and makes it flexible and unique. Made from natural woods, Formica Veneer offers more patterns, shapes and colors than Mother Nature herself and is designed to coordinate with other Formica brand surfaces. Punctuate walls, embellish corridors, and inset desks, headboards and cabinet fronts for a look that’s always luxurious. Formica Veneer is the natural way to elevate any design.

Decorative Metal: Formica DecoMetal® boldly brings Formica brand products into the design future. Modern designs can glimmer with the luxurious glow of gold, brass, zinc, copper, aluminum and steel. Available in a breadth of patterns from funky to formal. Cover a concierge desk. Add a hand-hewed look to a display. The possibilities are endless. Formica DecoMetal is metal made easy.
