Re: formica snowdrift = laminex polar white ? 4Aug 16, 2017 8:25 am Jump on Formicas website, I think they offer a service where they post out samples. I would then check it onsite. The Laminex product is very good but if its not what you asked for or is not in the contract then you have some room to negotiate.

Is it a door/colour you can live with? Is so ask for a discount. At the end of the day it will save them money to having to replaced all the doors with the correct ones.

They are basically the same colour and actually use the same ABS edge tape. I personally feel that the Laminex silk has a slightly higher gloss level compared to Formica gloss. The Laminex silk is more expensive than than Formica gloss so technically you've got an upgrade.
