Celebrating 10 Years of 180fx® Laminate

Modern, sophisticated patterns bring quartz, stone and hardwood designs to life

In 2009, Formica Group introduced 180fx® laminate, the culmination of an artistic design effort that leveraged advanced digital technology to create large-scale, high resolution patterns. It was developed to bring realistic, exotic granite looks to homeowners in an affordable way.

This year, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of this game-changing surface. 180fx® laminate originally launched with eight patterns available in a single finish. The product collection has evolved over the years to include 27 stunning selections and six finishes that transform any space with quartz, stone and hardwood designs. You can also pair these finishes with IdealEdge® Decorative Edging for unmatched realism and a finished look. It truly is a laminate as large as life.

Ten years ago Formica Group introduced 180fx® and changed the laminate industry. Join us as we celebrate ten years of incredible designs.

Every 180fx® pattern has a story. Explore them all and discover the inspiration behind each stunning look.

Inspired by the geological history of Spain, the blue-gray feldspar of the Spanish Azul Aran granite gives the stone a structure which is unique to the world. This unusual pattern features soft blues and browns alongside warm greys. It takes its name from the Val d’Aran valley and the nearby steep terrain from which it’s quarried with great care.
