matching PP edgeMatching PP edges are available to match a wide range of worktop patterns across all our ranges. Depending on edging availability, worktops can be produced in 14mm, 20mm, 26mm, 40mm, 60mm, 80mm and 100mm thicknesses. All patterns can also be edged with matching laminate, if required.

contrasting edgeThe contrasting edges are clear 2mm ABS printed on the reverse to give a striking 3D appearance. Available in 9 patterns, these edges can be applied to any worktop pattern in 14mm, 20mm, 26mm, 40mm and 60mm thicknesses. If required, these edges can also be applied to splashbacks, upstands and gables to match to your worktops.

step profileThe Step Profile consists of a 14mm top section and a 26mm lower section. The lower section is set back 5mm to give depth to the profile, although if required it can be flush with the top section. Any combination of surface and edging is possible.

double profileAvailable in 2 options. Double 62 consists of 2 layers of 26mm with a 9mm centre strip. Double 84 consists of 2 layers of 39mm top with a 6mm centre strip.Any combination of matching and contrasting edges is possible.

As well as supplying standard postformed tops in Duropal and Axiom, Laminates can produce a wide range of Bespoke tops using Duropal, Axiom, Egger and even the Formica AR+ colours.

worktops

7 different thicknesses3 special profilesAny combination of edgingsLaminates’ unrivalled range of options gives designers ultimate flexibility when planning their kitchens.

Thanks to our extensive bonding facilities we can produce tops up to 1200mm wide and up to 4000mm in length. This option allows us to produce larger than usual corner arrangements so that joints can be moved to accommodate internal curved corner units.

Using two different colours or thicknesses in the same kitchen offers an inexpensive and simple but effective feature.

The huge popularity of curved corner units is no problem to us. With our CNC edging facilities we can produce whatever size curve your units require, whether internal or external radii or ‘S’ line curved breakfronts.

6

upstandsAll the decors in our pattern ranges can be produced as matching upstands. With an overall thickness of 14mm (Formica – 11mm) and edged all round in matching laminate, they are a perfect way to finish off the back of the worktops with only a minimal effect on the cost of the overall design.

Combining matching upstands with a contrasting back panel is one more way of adding a special feature to a kitchen.

If required, upstands can also be edged in the contrasting ABS edges to match your worktop choice.

splashbacks

Splashbacks are an excellent way of finishing the back wall of any kitchen. Simple and quick to fit, they provide a uniform look when matching to the worktops and a dash of colour when used as a contrast. The vivid high gloss colours of the Formica AR+ range work particularly well as a feature colour.

Splashbacks can be made in any decor from our pattern ranges. The maximum width of a panel is 1200mm, but maximum length varies according to range as follows.Duropal - up to 4000mm

Axiom - MAT & CR finishes - up to 4000mm All other finishes - up to 3600mm

Formica - up to 3000mm

Egger - up to 3000mm

Splashbacks have an overall thickness of

14mm (Formica – 11mm) and can be edged

on any side to your requirements. Shaped

splashbacks can also be produced. Particularly

useful when fitting under a curved cooker hood.

Using a splashback as the background for a feature such

as shelving creates the look of built-in furniture whilst still retaining the pattern match to

your worktops.

8

gablesNothing beats worktops with matching gables to frame a set of units and give a sense of structure, especially in the thicker options.

We can produce gables to match all our worktop profiles, as well as panels for use as plinths to complete the look.

Use gables either side of a break front design to make a feature of the central units.

windowsillsWe can produce 26mm thick windowsills in all our pattern ranges. The front profile

can be postformed in either bullnose or standard profile, or finished in any of our

edgings to match your worktops. If required, a drop front can be added to

bring the sill down to your worktop surface. Ideal for a situation where the gap between

the worktop and sill is relatively small.

solid wood worktops

We offer 40mm thick timber worktops in the four main timbers - Oak, Walnut, Beech and Iroko.

To produce a modern 'chunky' look to breakfast bars, gables etc, we can join 2 pieces together to produce an 80mm section. This extra depth allows deep profiles to be routed into the edge to produce a traditional looking top, particularly popular for an island arrangement in country style kitchens.

Thanks to the success of the curved base units, a recent development is the appearance of plant-on tops. Worktops with partial rebates to the underside can be fitted over a variety of other worktops to create a striking feature in an island arrangement.

All our timber is FSC certified, sourced from suppliers operating sustainable manufacturing processes.

Cleaning recommendations for worktops, upstands, splashbacks and gablesAll our worktops are highly resistant to sunlight, scratching, impact, abrasion,

and variety of liquid stains such as tea, coffee, wine and fruit juice.

by FORMICA GROUP

technical information

Most normal stains can simply be cleaned with a damp cloth.

More stubborn stains such as tea, coffee, grease, red wine etc, can be removed with a soft nylon brush and washing up liquid. Any abrasive scourers or creams should be avoided. Stains such as felt tip pen, shoe polish, nicotine, nail varnish etc, can be removed with an organic solvent such as nail polish remover or methylated spirits.

Paint spills should be removed immediately with water or organic solvent depending on the paint type.

2-part adhesives must be removed immediately and not allowed to harden.

Please do not cut or chop directly on the worktop surface. Always use a chopping board.

Hot pans and dishes should always be placed on a protective pad to avoid burning or blistering the laminate surface.

With its HPL surface the new ‘air’ worktop is every bit as resistant on its surface. However due to its unique construction it outperforms all other worktops on impact tests and as a waterproof product has no problem with sinks, dishwashers, or boiling kettles.

Sample Request Lines We recommend you ask to see actual samples of your worktop choice before making your final selection.

For larger samples of any of the patterns shown in this brochure please contact the relevant supplier as detailed below.
