Wilsonart Captures Layered Color and Refined Details with its Topaz Premium Laminate CollectionNew Designs Replicate Engineered Stone

    TEMPLE, Texas (Summer 2007) - Wilsonart® Home Collection combines an abundance of natural color with the polished look of engineered stone with two new earth tone designs. As additions to the top selling Topaz Series, these new designs feature rich color saturated backdrops layered with sienna and gold hues and are inspired by the desert soils and sands of Africa and Australia. The two designs - Antique Topaz and Sandy Topaz - feature a special premium finish to provide the look and satiny feel of engineered stone without compromising laminate's well-known performance. The new designs are available beginning summer 2007.

    "Our Topaz collection brings an engineered stone look to premium laminate," says Ron Gagnon, vice president of design and marketing at Wilsonart. "Since its launch in 2003, the series has been a favorite of residential and commercial designers because of the unprecedented depth and dimensionality of design made possible by 21st century manufacturing methods pioneered by Wilsonart and our worldwide partners."

    According to Gagnon, the two new 2007 Topaz designs feature layers of multiple color as well as pearl pigments in bronze, silver and gold to provide maximum depth and dimension to the design. The new designs combine print technology and multiple ink layering to create a look that has never before been possible with premium laminate. The new designs include:
    * Antique Topaz - Antique gold with rich, dark brown and sienna chips
    * Sandy Topaz - Sand and dark brown combine with sienna chips
