About Me
Creating A Home You Can Be Proud Of

As soon as I purchased my first place, I knew that I needed to step up my interior design game. After I moved all of my apartment furniture into the space, I could tell that things needed to be tweaked slightly. My apartment furniture was smaller than my home, and it made everything look silly. To resolve my design dilemma, I spent a little time going through interior design magazines and deciding how I wanted my home to look. I also invested in better furniture and high-end decor pieces. The difference that it made was incredible. This blog is all about creating a home that you will love forever.

Formica 180fx is a laminated composite material of patterned paper or fabric bonded with melamine resin. Formica 180fx is heat, abrasion, and moisture resistant and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns that look like granite, stone, petrified wood, aged barn wood, slate, marble, quartz, leather, stainless steel, and other materials. Formica 180fx can be used throughout your residential home and office. Here are some of the uses for Formica 180fx: 

Countertops:  Install Formica 180fx in a kitchen or work area for a durable and wear-resistant surface. Countertops covered in Formica 180fx are easily cleaned and resist denting, scratching, and staining. This laminated material can be used on horizontal and vertical surfaces so it can also be used on a backsplash or wall surface next to a countertop. Formica 180fx can be installed next to a sink or stove. Although Formica 180fx resists most scratches and dents, it is recommended to use a cutting board when chopping or slicing foods with a sharp knife and to avoid cleaning the surface with steel wool and harsh abrasives. 

Bench Tops:  Bench tops and work tables are available that are covered in Formica 180fx for a clean and easy to maintain work surface. Formica 180fx is available in a wide variety of bench top thicknesses with a square edge profile, a 90-degree edge profile, a soft edge profile (with two 90 degree edges) and bullnose edge profile. Formica 180fx bench tops are available to look like stainless steel, butcher block, or painted wood. Formica 180fx bench tops are encased on the top, bottom, and sides with the same laminate surface, so they resist staining and are good to use in medical offices and laboratories.

Vanities:  Use marble or stone patterned Formica 180fx on top of a bathroom vanity to look like ceramic tile. Bathroom cupboards, storage drawers, and shelving can also be made of the same Formica 180fx, which is available in various thicknesses. Formica 180fx is impervious to water and steam which makes it a good choice for use on a bathroom vanity and backsplash. 

Laundry Rooms:  Install Formica 180fx on all work surfaces in a laundry room. Formica 180fx can be used on a countertop or shelf to cover your washer and dryer and also around a laundry sink, cupboards, and storage areas. A folding table can be made of Formica so that you can sort and fold clean laundry and then fold the table away when it is not needed. Use a marble or stone pattern on all work surfaces and shelving to unify the look of your laundry room and blend with your wall colors. 

Formica 180fx, such as from Plastic Line Mfg Inc, can unify any room where it is installed. Contact your interior designer or building contractor to see how you can use Formica 180fx in your home or office.
