Step-by-Step Guide to Install Wilsonart Laminate Sheets
1. Measure and Cut Your Laminate Sheet
Use a metal ruler and sharp cutter to measure the area where the laminate will be installed. Always leave a small overhang of 1/8 to 1/4 inch to ensure full coverage.
2. Apply Contact Adhesive to Both Surfaces
Apply contact adhesive evenly to the back of the laminate and the surface you’re covering. Wait approximately 15 minutes, or until both sides are dry to the touch.
3. Align and Press the Laminate Sheet
Carefully align the laminate over the surface. Use a laminate roller to press it down firmly, starting from the center and moving outward to eliminate air bubbles.
4. Trim the Edges for a Clean Finish
After the laminate is fully adhered, use your cutter to trim off the overhanging edges. Take your time to make clean, straight cuts.
