Title: Where to buy laminate in US?
Post by: r32 on February 06, 2010, 12:05:30 am
I did a search but didn't find to many threads that gave specific answers on where to buy laminate from.

I'm located in CA and would like to have options for laminate. I was thinking of something other than black and figure someone must know a supplier.

I went to my local Home Depot and Lowes and they didn't have anything.

Is it possible to buy from a distributor for better price?

Home Depot will order anything you want (it's a bit pricey though - $80 for a 4x8 sheet or something).  Did you try calling some local contractors that specialize in kitchens or something where they might be using laminate?  I tried (in NJ) and after a few weeks of striking out I just ordered from Home Depot.  Most places wanted a bulk order or something to make it cheap but it ended up being a big hassle.

Thanks for the link! They have some really nice colors. I'm considering going with a 70's retro cabinet design with perhaps a beige or brown colored laminate.

For my laminate, I just went on formica's website and sent an email to know the local distributors. I live in Canada and it was a lot cheaper than in home depot. I also could have bigger sheets (less scrap).

Apparently they've changed their website and you can know the distributors directly at this addess :

The distributors should carry most of formica colors.
