Replicating the true scale and natural beauty of marble and natural stone, with all the practical and pricing advantages of laminate, the "stone look" is affordable with Formica 180fx.

Complementing the 180fx is a new range of acrylic edging which allows for a durable, sleek square edge, creating a seamless, stone-slab look.

"The beauty of acrylic edgetape is that the pattern is applied to the back of the edgetape allowing greater depth of colour and detail, completing the realistic and natural look of a stone slab," says Laminex New Zealand Category Manager, Teresa Walsh.

Formica 180fx has raised the bar with the use of innovative printing technology, delivering a large scale design that captures every little nuance of natural stone.  The result is a premium decorative surface that replicates the striking colour variations, intricate veining and sophisticated layers of natural stone and marble.

Walsh says innovation is at the heart of Formica 180fx, an exciting product addition to today’s decorative surfaces industry:

“Marble and stone provide classic beauty and continue to hold their place in the market as two of the most desired surfaces.  Until now, technology has not had the ability to recreate a pattern that truly captures all the visual drama of a full natural stone or marble slab Walsh said.
