Formica Group Thanks for the inquiry. Unfortunately, we don't have information on all of the features of this kitchen as this is a real homeowner's house and not a staged kitchen we created for our product photography. If our designers can find out what floor material was used here, we’ll post it on this discussion thread. Thanks again for reaching out.

sms9758 There is very little repeat in Formica 180fx. It's about one tenth of the price of granite and for a basic do it yourselfer a whole counter top can be under $500. People who spend upwards of $10000 on granite have too much money to burn. Formica can last at least 40 years and can easily be changed if styles change

curllee It obviously repeats every 3-4 feet. Not great for longer counter stretches. One would think for high end Formica that they would have manufactured it with patterns longer than 4 feet.

Formica Group This is a real homeowner's kitchen we shot about four years ago. We don't outfit the kitchen with cabinets, etc., for the photoshoot, but I'll check with the appropriate folks within Formica and will respond to this thread if we're able to track down the information.

hunter20 what is the actual name of the formica laminate?

Formica Group It's Blue Storm 180fx.

Ronique Gibson Plastic laminate is usually used for counters, cabinets, and wall panels (backsplashes in commercial applications). It is not usually used as a flooring.

Plastic laminate is durable under most conditions. It can burn so hot pots and pans shouldn't go directly on it. It also can chip or scratch with heavy impact, especially near corners and seams. Also try not to leave large puddles of water standing for long at seams, as the adhesive can loosen, and water can seep below - eventually causing delamination.

Also take care not to use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads when cleaning. A soft cloth and multi-surface spray is sufficient for cleaning.

sms9758 Look at your mothers laminate. It's probably been down for years with no problems
