Formica Standard Finishes
Artisan (-43)
A look reminiscent of the hand-rubbed, oiled finish used by craftsmen to produce fine wood furniture and surfaces. Not recommended for heavy-duty horizontal applications such as countertops. Available only for selected Woodgrain Collection items.
Chematte (-29)
A matte finish slightly glossier than standard Matte (-58) which gives Formica Chemtop its chemical resistant properties. This finish produces laminate with a slightly different hue from its corresponding standard laminate item. This color difference does constitute a defect. Available only for Formica Chemtop chemical resistant laminate items.
Corrugation (-11)
A uniquely textured, linear matte finish that mimics corrugated cardboard. The ribs have natural variations and run lengthwise on the sheet of laminate. Recommended for vertical or light-duty horizontal applications where cleanability is not an issue. Available only for Naturals Collection items (7248, 7249 and 7251).
* Eldorado Leather (-82)
Retains the same dimensional texture of natural leather, but with a slightly higher reflectance and sheen, producing stronger colorways.
* Matte (-58)
A finish that imparts a warm, pleasing effect that enhances the beauty of color and produces a greater clarity and depth.
Mist (-89)
A unique, sand and pebble-like texture with a unique tactile quality. Recommended for horizontal and vertical interior applications. Available only for selected Naturals Collection items.
* Polished (-90)
A high-gloss finish ideal for applications that require maximum smoothness and reflectance. Recommended for vertical or light duty horizontal interior applications. Not recommended for heavy-duty horizontal applications such as countertops.
* Quarry (-75)
A soft-textured, pebbly finish that imparts a warm, tactile effect and enhances the beauty of color. Quarry finish produces clarity and depth resulting in true and vibrant colors.

* Sparkle (-42)
A small-scale textured finish which imparts a brighter, more durable surface.
