Formica?

[sharkwaters]

I need to replace a piece of Formica on a counter top. I talked to Steve and he gave me information to he place he buys form, lewis & company. It has been tough getting the right product. My boat was orderd with a white shiny formica. Dies any obne have a source for Formica? I'm in south OC, but would go to SD to get it.

Thanks. Bob

There's a Louis & Co in Van Nuys and Brea, they now carry "Formica" Brand material.

I have a commercial account with them if they won't sell to the public I can set it up for Will Call and you can send me a check. 30" X 96", 36,48,and maybe 60" by 96",120" or 144" available sizes

Thanks for the offer. I'm driving over there on Friday to see the will call guy. I talked to the sales dept. and I need to go in to match up the sample. I hope they have a close match.

Steve said that the original buyers wanted a different color of Formica. It is white with a shiny finish. Is that different than your boat? Most of the Billfishers I have seen had the same product I have.

Mine is white with a flat satin finish. Do not get the high gloss shiney finish, it will show scratches easily

Mine already has the high gloss finish, so I have to match that.

I drove to Lewis & Co. I found a really close sample. They had a 4 X 10 sheet for $ 440 + tax. I did not buy it because I need a 2 X 2 piece. Do you get a discount? Can you get half sheets?

Thanks for the help.

I do get a discount, but they only sell full sheets. At $440, that's $11 a square foot, it should be less than $3 a square foot. Did they give you the color and finish number, I can price it out through my account rep.

I went to Lowes and they ordered it for me. They said "Their Cost" was $205. I talked the guy down to $260 + tax. I had to move quickly to get this job done. I like your price much better. The good thing is that I was able to get the right sample number from Lewis & CO.

Thanks for your help.
