Panolam MG1600-EV Upland Stone Laminate Postform Grade, 48"x96" Evolution Finish

Panolam MG1600 Upland Stone Laminate For Panels

Panolam MG1600 Upland Stone laminate gives you a decorative, stone-look high-pressure laminate option for building panels where appearance on both sides matters. The sheet size of 48 x 96 inches provides a full 4 x 8 panel format, which suits many cabinet and casework layouts without extra seams. This product is identified as postform grade, so it is engineered as a laminate suitable for forming applications where that grade is specified. The core of this high-pressure laminate consists of melamine resin impregnated decorative paper, which is the layer that carries the Upland Stone design and finish. That decorative paper is part of a durable HPL construction that is pressed into sheets for fabrication. The laminate is offered in Panolams Evolution finish, which defines the surface texture and gloss level used across matching jobs.

Key Panolam MG1600 Upland Stone Working Advantages

• The MG1600 Upland Stone laminate is part of the Panolam HPL line, so it fits into projects already using Panolam high-pressure laminate for coordinated surfacing across doors, panels, and fixtures.
• The decorative layer is a melamine resin impregnated paper, giving a consistent printed Upland Stone pattern that helps maintain visual continuity across multiple fabricated parts cut from the same sheet.
• The laminate is designed to be thermally fused to industrial grade particleboard or medium density fiberboard (MDF), tying directly into common shop substrates and allowing panels to move through familiar machining steps.
• Panels made with Panolam MG1600 Upland Stone are supplied with decorative faces on both sides, which helps when fabricating partitions, doors, and panels that will be visible from both directions in the finished install.
• The 48 x 96 inch sheet dimension allows yield planning around a standard 4 x 8 format, helping optimize part layouts on the panel and reduce offcut waste in typical cabinet and fixture work.

Postform Grade Laminate Use And Bonding Setup

This Panolam laminate is described as postform grade, which identifies it as suitable for applications where that grade of high-pressure laminate is required in the specification. The laminate is intended to be thermally fused to industrial grade particleboard or MDF, integrating directly with common sheet goods used in woodworking shops. Using a thermally fused process with these substrates creates a unified panel, so the decorative faces and core work together during cutting and machining. Because the resulting MG1600 panels have decorative faces on both sides, they provide flexibility in orienting parts during routing, drilling, and edge treatment without losing the finished Upland Stone appearance.

How Panolam MG1600 Laminate Performs In Projects

Using Upland Stone Laminate On Particleboard Or MDF

The Panolam MG1600 Upland Stone high-pressure laminate is specified to be thermally fused to industrial grade particleboard or medium density fiberboard, so it is aimed directly at shops that build panels from these substrates. In practice, that means Upland Stone laminate integrates into workflows already set up for panel pressing, because the thermally fused bond turns the substrate and decorative layer into a single working panel. Once fused, the MG1600 panels, identified in the SAP description as UPLAND STONE, F39 EVOLUTION, provide a matching decorative Upland Stone design on both faces, which supports layouts where both sides are exposed in use. The 48 x 96 inch size pairs with standard sheet handling equipment, from panel saws to CNC routers, so shops can treat the laminated panel like other 4 x 8 materials in their lineup.

Why Double Decorative Faces And Evolution Finish Matter

Panolam MG1600 panels are supplied with decorative faces on both sides, giving fabricators the same Upland Stone design and Evolution finish on each face of the panel. In cabinet and fixture work, that double-sided construction simplifies part orientation, because either face presents the same decorative surface during assembly. The Evolution finish called out in the product name and SAP description defines the surface appearance across the Upland Stone design, supporting consistent look from panel to panel on a job. Because the decorative faces are built on a melamine resin impregnated decorative paper, the Upland Stone pattern is printed consistently across the HPL, which helps align color and pattern when multiple sheets are fabricated into doors, end panels, or dividers within the same project.
