FORMICA INTRODUCES FORMICA CORA™

(HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATES WITH FIVE COLOUR-MATCHED CORES)

Once again, Formica, the leading provider of designed surfaced solutions is delighting users with the launch of their Formica Cora High Pressure Laminate (HPL) series. The unique feature of this series is its seamless joinery! At current, this breakthrough technology has 5 carefully colour-matched cores.

To explain this further, imagine that the HPLs that we are all very familiar with is matched from its surface to its core. This eradicates any black joint lines that traditionally separate 2 surface panels of HPLs! All designers would rejoice knowing they can now create a continuous, seamless joint. 

The range of Formica Cora HPLs got its name from “Kore” – nickname of Persephone, an ancient Greek Goddess of the soul. Just like its namesake. Formica Cora’s collection of five colour-matched cores allows the inner beauty (soul) to shine through the spaces that the designers design, giving that unequalled graced and sophistry.

Formica Cora’s 5 coloured cores comes in,

1.     White,
2.     Light Grey,
3.     Beige Yellow,
4.     Yellow Brown, and
5.     Black.

The visual continuity is stunning and upon our first interaction with the product, manifested as a stool for SIXiDES, we fell in love with it, as it felt like a solid block of carved stone.

But the Formica Cora collection isn't just about aesthetics. These laminates are also highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. They are also suitable for commercial spaces and are especially useful for fluted panels and 90-degree joints to achieve the seamless look that every designer and architect desires.
