Whilst laminate below 4mm thick usually requires some measure of support (e.g. a metal frame), thicker laminates can be regarded as self-supporting. Laminates over 8mm thick are suitable for horizontal applications with the minimum support.
Not only do they meet all the requirements of EN 438:2005, ISO 4586 and the highest performance levels specified in BS 4965, they also possess high impact and moisture resistant properties.
Formica Compact laminates are available in both standard and flame-retardant grades and can be used in a number of environments. This compact laminate is great for furniture, table tops and even seating areas.
Please refer to our Fabrication Advice Guide for further information on transportation, storage, fabrication and installation of Formica Compact grade laminate.
