The look of wood has always brought a subtle, sophisticated touch to interior spaces. It complements many design aesthetics, from light and bright to more bold concepts.

In fact, incorporating woodgrain looks is a key element of biophilic design, which takes its cues from the natural world to inspire relaxing, balanced environments.

Woodgrain Laminate Selections

Hartson-Kennedy offers two Formica® Brand woodgrain laminate options perfect for modern, welcoming spaces. These wood-alternative surfaces pair beauty, durability and cleanability for high-performance design.

Wide-Planked Walnut: Walnut is noted for its beautiful grain. The sapwood of walnut is creamy white, while the heartwood ranges from light to chocolate brown. Wide-Planked Walnut 180fx® Laminate blends walnut heartwood and sapwood planks for a distinctive character popular for kitchen islands, bar tops and bathroom vanities. 

Walnut Butcherblock: This luxurious butcherblock pattern features a range of browns from medium to dark and rich caramel. Walnut Butcherblock Formica® Laminate was created in the popular edge-grain fashion with each strip running the full length of the countertop and no endgrain seams. This provides a clean and consistent look.
