SM'art High Pressure Laminate for Countertops and High-Wear Surfaces
This SM'art High Pressure Laminate sheet in Rockefeller brings the Manhattan finish to applications where a decorative panel face cannot go — countertops, post-formed edges, and vertical surfaces that take daily contact. At 60 inches by 120 inches and 0.9 mm thick, it ships in the single size stocked for the SM'art collection, ready to bond down to your substrate of choice.
Key Features
- SM'art collection HPL: Manufactured by SALT International as a companion sheet to the SM'art decorative panel line, carrying the Rockefeller color onto surfaces the panel program cannot cover.
- Manhattan finish: A distinctive surface texture from the SM'art collection, consistent across the face of the sheet for a uniform appearance when installed.
- 60 inch by 120 inch sheet size: The stocked format for SM'art HPL, sized for countertops, large vertical runs, and post-forming work.
- 0.9 mm thickness: A standard HPL gauge compatible with post-forming and flat bonding to particleboard, MDF, or plywood substrates.
- Color SMM022 Rockefeller: A named color in the SM'art program, matched to the panel line so face and field surfaces read as one material.
Where This Sheet Fits the Job
HPL is the right call when a surface needs to carry the same color as the decorative panel but must withstand wear a panel face is not built for. A kitchen countertop, a commercial work surface, a laminated door slab, or a post-formed edge all fall into that category. Rockefeller in the Manhattan finish extends the SM'art color story onto those components without a visible seam in tone or texture between the panel and the laminated surface. Cabinet shops building SM'art case goods will find this sheet covers the horizontal and wear surfaces the panel program leaves open.
Construction and Handling
High pressure laminate is manufactured as an independent sheet — kraft paper layers consolidated under high pressure with a decorative surface layer — and bonded to the substrate by the fabricator. That construction is what separates it from thermally fused laminate, where the face is fused directly to the board at the mill. The 0.9 mm gauge is suitable for flat lamination and for radius post-forming depending on the radius and the substrate preparation. Bond with contact cement or urea-based adhesive per the substrate manufacturer's recommendation, and trim flush after cure.
Who Orders This Sheet
Cabinet shops specifying SM'art panels for a kitchen or commercial interior reach for this sheet when the countertop or high-wear surface needs to match the case color exactly. Designers who specify Rockefeller across a full interior — panels, HPL surfaces, and matching ABS edgebanding — use this sheet to hold the color through every component. Contractors sourcing for a renovation where the decorative panel is already committed will find this the fastest way to close out the surface spec without a visible color break.
Is matching edgebanding available for Rockefeller in the SM'art collection?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding is available for SM'art colors. Confirm the specific color code when ordering to make sure the banding matches this panel and HPL.
Does SM'art HPL come in any other sheet sizes?
SM'art HPL is stocked in the 60 inch by 120 inch size. This differs from the Saviola HPL program, which stocks both 60 inch by 120 inch and 73 inch by 120 inch formats.
What is the Manhattan finish?
Manhattan is a named surface texture in the SM'art collection. It is a physical emboss applied to the sheet face and shared by several colors in the line, so two surfaces in different SM'art Manhattan colors will have the same tactile character.
Is SMM022 Rockefeller still available?
Rockefeller is a discontinued SM'art color that is selling through existing inventory. It is orderable while stock lasts, but it is not a safe long-term specification for a project that may require reorders. If your job could extend, confirm available quantity before committing.
Can this HPL sheet be used for post-forming?
At 0.9 mm the sheet is within the standard gauge range for post-forming. Achievable radius depends on the substrate, the post-forming equipment, and the specific laminate lot — run a test piece on your setup before committing to a full production run.
Closing Out a Surface Spec with One Sheet
When the panels are specified and the countertop still needs a match, this sheet closes the gap — same color, same finish family, one consistent surface through the whole interior.
