Explore the newest options for impact-resistant surfaces that can incorporate branding and unique designs to transform commercial spaces into show-stoppers.

Personalization in Commercial Spaces

Designers are always challenged with creating distinctive commercial spaces that are both pleasing to the eye and able to stand the test of time. Sometimes this means adding a unique element that bolsters the brand in a thoughtful and innovative way. 

Branding with a Protective Boost: Formica Envision™ HardStop® Panels

This new line of high-performance wall protection panels enables you to cater to your clients’ requests with a twist. Not only can these vertical surfaces feature custom graphics, illustrations, colors and logos, but they also have a fiberglass core for added strength, resilience and fire resistance. In fact, Formica Envision™ HardStop® panels can withstand major impacts with scratch, stain and water resistance.
