**★★★★★ — Provanti Designs, Inc, Sept. 2013**

> Every client wants their kitchen remodel to look its very best for the smallest possible investment.  The Formica Group has recently launched a product that is exactly what some of my clients need.  Clients want the look of stone without the cost of stone.  180fx is the perfect answer; it the first large-scale laminate office true to color stone patterns that don't repeat within the material's 5-foor width.  It is a fraction of the price!  My client is over the moon with happiness with their new Travertine Silver counters.  And I am over the moon happy to have such a fabulous product to add to my list of budget-friendly options for solid surface counters.  Way to go Formica 180fx!

**Comment from Formica Group:**

> Wow. Thanks for the great review. It's wonderful to hear when our products solve the style/budget challenge. We'd love to see pictures of your clients' finished projects using 180fx and feature the images on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest with links back to Provanti Designs. If this is something you (and your client) would be willing to share, please send images to formica@vehrcommunications.com.

> Again, thanks so much for your feedback.

**★★★★★ — Garcia Cabinetmakers, Oct. 2012**

> Formica Group is a leader in our industry - always innovating. We have worked with their products for many years.  I highly recommend Formica Group products - solid surface and laminates. They are a great American brand.

## Community Q&A

**Q: ordering and install?** *(in Photo Questions)*

If I’m wanting to use this as a backsplash, would I just order it online and install it myself? Or would this require a specific Formica installer?

A: We do make cabinets out of our product! Attached is our resurfacing doc that will help guide you!   
https://www.formica.com/en-us/-/media/formica/north-america/document-library/technical-briefs/resurfacing-tech-brief.pdf

**Q: I thought a laminate countertop would not allow an undermount sink?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello Karen! Thank you for reaching out! In the past, laminate counters were not a good match for undermount sinks, but over time new processes have been developed to overcome these hurdles. For more information please see the attached article here: http://www.formica.com/en/us/advice-and-ideas/sink-options\_undermount

If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact our customer service team: 
1-800-FORMICA

**Q: what is this edge called?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This surfacing material is our Forimca® Solid Surfacing. When creating edges for counter tops and tables such as this using Solid Surfacing, the edge is thermal-formed; meaning the edge is heated and bent of folded over to create the thick edging.

**Q: What edge is the countertop?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello! Thanks for reaching out. This is a square of 'self' edge.

**Q: FORMICA?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is the countertop in this picture truly Formica Café Azul or stone? If Formica which edge profile was used?

A: Hi Jess. Yes! This is truly Formica 180fx® Café Azul. The edge is IdealEdge® in Ogee profile. Visit www.formica.com for more information or please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you!

**Q: Backsplash in this photo** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the description of the backsplash in this photo?

A: Hello! Unfortunately we only have information on the countertop in this image. Thanks for reaching out.
