Design Integrity, Simplified: 
Wilsonart® Leads the Way in Laminate Coordinated Surfaces

A decade of design leadership. One perfectly coordinated solution.
Since introducing its groundbreaking Coordinated Surfaces Program in 2015, Wilsonart has redefined what’s possible in design consistency and specification simplicity. Today, that leadership continues—helping architects, designers, fabricators, and OEMs protect their design vision across every surface, every project, every time.

From Innovation to Industry Standard

When Wilsonart launched Coordinated Surfaces over a decade ago, it solved a problem nearly every commercial designer faced: how to achieve a perfect match between high-performance horizontal surfaces and cost-effective vertical materials.

What began as a revolutionary concept—aligning High Pressure Laminate (HPL), Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL), and Edgeband

under a single design SKU—has since become the industry standard for cohesive decorative surfacing.

Today, Wilsonart’s Coordinated Surfaces Program spans 250+ curated designs and 12 finishes, delivering best-matched color and texture across every price and performance level.

The Wilsonart Difference: Laminate Coordinated by Design

Wilsonart’s Coordinated Surfaces Program combines form, function, and flexibility to simplify the specification process and protect your design intent.

Whether you’re designing a multi-family environment, hospitality space, comforting healthcare experience, or office interior, our coordinated surfaces ensure each material — HPL, TFL, and Edgeband — performs as beautifully as it looks.

“We’ve eliminated one of the most common frustrations commercial designers face,” says Kate Grossman, Wilsonart Vice President of Marketing & Design. “With coordinated surfaces, design professionals can conveniently specify best-matching casework/millwork, work tops, and edgebanding from one source—and get the most closely matched products in the industry.”
 
When it comes to decorative surfaces specification, designers have long faced a familiar frustration: how to achieve perfect visual harmony across materials with different performance needs. High Pressure Laminate (HPL) delivers durability for high-use areas. Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) provides cost-effective coverage for vertical or low-wear areas. But getting those surfaces — and the matching Edgeband — to align in color, texture, quality, and delivery? That’s been the challenge.

For over ten years, Wilsonart’s Coordinated Surfaces Program has changed that equation—bringing together design integrity, value engineering, and ease of specification like never before.

Single-source convenience — Specify and order all three surfaces using one design code. Ex. Highlands, 8291K-05
Sustainability — FSC® certification available upon request. Third party credentials are readily available.
Reduced lead times — Supported by Wilsonart’s extensive distribution network.
Predictable results — Reliable quality and performance, consistent aesthetics, and fewer project delays.

 


Protecting Design Integrity, One Project at a Time

With Wilsonart, value engineering never means compromising design. Coordinated surfaces enable designers to make informed material choices while maintaining visual harmony and performance standards across all spaces.

From concept to installation, Wilsonart remains the partner designers trust to keep their projects coordinated, efficient, and beautiful.
