LaminexWilson ArtPrime LaminateFormica ContactAcrylic is ideal for furniture and architectural pieces, as well as benchtops and service areas. Its non-porous solid surface – composed from natural minerals, bound by acrylic resins – makes it a particularly strong surface and its smooth finish lends it to “bold” finishes. Acrylic happily moulds to work with sharp angles or flowing corners, with almost seamless joins.

It's not just worktops but specialised laboratory benches and even partitioning systems for toilets in addition to many other applications.
Euroedge creates the appearance of a solid surface with seamless pattern and colour. Achieve the impression of a solid surface benchtop with the more economic option of our new Euroedge.
