The OP asked about Squareform which is a 5mm radius not 7mm or 9mm. You said "I assume that all post forming laminates can be square formed" which isnt right. The laminate has to be thin enough to be rolled around such a tight radius. Laminex has 216 listed laminates under the bench top section with only 30 or so available for squareform. Formica has a similar product called TightForm which is a 7mm radius and is available in 97 colours.

What the OP was asking is if other laminate suppliers can do a bench that looks similar (tight radius). As I pointed out (and you mentioned again) formica have 97 colours that can be tight formed and having had a look at the Polytec site it seems that most of their bench top laminates that can be tight formed. Whether it is 5 or 7mm the look is very similar. I think my initial response was fairly accurate, maybe I should have said that most laminate brands will have products that will give a similar look.

I understand that Squareform is a Laminex TM but as long as I can get a similar look I will be happy with that. Just looking to get a squarish edges rather than the rolled edged or the seams along the top. But will know now that If I want the sharper square look I will have to stick with the laminiex squareform colours. Thanks guys Hi - thanks for your reply.
