    Formica 1097-90 Citadel Laminate Sample, 2"x3" Polished Finish

    Description

    Formica Citadel Laminate Sample For Surfacing

    Formica Citadel laminate sample gives you a 2 inch by 3 inch polished finish chip of Formica 1097-90 Citadel high-pressure laminate, so you can evaluate this exact solid color in real light and surroundings before specifying it on a project. This sample represents Formica 1097 Citadel high-pressure laminate, which is described as extremely durable and suitable for surfacing needs, helping you plan worktops, casework, or other laminate surfaces with confidence in color choice. The polished finish shown on this chip reflects light differently than matte or microdot finishes available in the same color, so you can judge how gloss level will interact with adjacent materials. With the sample tied to manufacturer part number Y0201097900203, you can connect what you see in hand directly to the orderable product for consistent results across multiple jobs.

    Key Laminate Sample Details For Project Planning

    • The 2 inch by 3 inch size provides a compact chip that is still large enough to compare Formica 1097-90 Citadel against doors, drawer fronts, or existing finishes on site.
    • The polished finish on this sample demonstrates the gloss look of the Citadel color, helping you decide where a higher-sheen surface will work best in your layout.
    • The Citadel high-pressure laminate color belongs to the Formica solid color range, giving a continuous tone that supports clean, modern surfacing designs.
    • The description of Formica 1097 Citadel laminate as extremely durable underlines its suitability for demanding surfacing needs where impact and wear resistance are important.
    • The same Citadel color is also available in Matte or Microdot finishes, so the polished sample can be used as a reference point when choosing between different texture options.

    Sample Use For Surfacing And Finish Decisions

    The 2 inch by 3 inch Formica 1097-90 Citadel laminate sample in polished finish lets you move a true material chip around the jobsite, so you can see how this solid color reads against cabinets, flooring, and lighting. Because it represents Formica high-pressure laminate described as extremely durable and perfect for surfacing needs, the chip stands in for the actual sheet material when reviewing color direction with project stakeholders. The polished finish displayed on the sample shows how a gloss surface will reflect task lighting or daylight, which matters when aligning surfacing choices across reception counters, worktops, or vertical panels.

    How This Formica Citadel Sample Supports Workflows

    Where This Formica 1097-90 Sample Fits In

    This Formica Citadel laminate sample belongs to the Formica HPL category, so it represents a high-pressure laminate option commonly used for surfacing in woodworking and related trades. The solid color Citadel tone allows you to coordinate casework, counters, and wall panels where a uniform color field is preferred rather than patterns. Because the Web description positions Formica 1097 Citadel laminate as perfect for surfacing needs, this color chip fits naturally into workflows around commercial millwork, fixtures, and residential built-ins that call for durable laminate faces. The 2 inch by 3 inch size is convenient to carry in a pocket or pouch, supporting quick side-by-side checks during client meetings or on walk-throughs.

    Details That Support Repeatable Color Selection

    The manufacturer part number Y0201097900203 tied to this Formica 1097-90 Citadel polished sample connects the chip directly to a specific product, which helps keep color selection consistent across estimates, approvals, and orders. Because Formica solid color high-pressure laminates are described as transforming surfaces with style and durability, using the same part-numbered sample on every decision meeting helps standardize expectations about appearance. The note that Formica 1097 is available in Matte, Microdot, or Polished plus Peel Coat finishes means this polished chip can serve as a visual benchmark while you choose texture, since the underlying Citadel color remains the same. By grounding every choice in this small but precise sample, you reduce color drift from one phase of a project to the next and support repeatable results on future jobs that reuse the same Citadel specification.
