The Making of 180fx Collection

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

180fx® laminate marks a revolution in surfacing with true-to-scale granite, stone and woodgrain patterns that offer visual drama unmatched by any other laminate. Modern, sophisticated high resolution patterns focus on a natural palette - versatile enough to pair with any interior design concept.

Typically, a regular décor repeat is approximately 600 -700mm wide, but REAL WOODS OR STONES DON’T REPEAT! 180fx is a collection of large scale designs that captures every little nuance of natural stone in true scale without the repetition of décor pattern!

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. Our innovative printing technology allows a wider length of 5’ before having a décor repeat. This allows the perfect combination of having a luxury look of nature stone with practical advantages of laminates in a larger application area. The ‘repeatless’ look takes laminate one step closer to nature. Finally, a laminate as large as life.
