In the Laminate field either sheet or formed – what causes Formica to have little competition (cept Wilsonart?) or is that just my part of the country?
almost everything else in America except maybe Kodak film you have choices- what gives in this industry?

My cabinet supplier has three brands available. There are probably more at the producer or manufac. level then at the consumer level with laminates.
wain.... formica has lost a lot of market share over the years..
our favorite is Neva-Mar..
Pionite and Wilson Art are also strong..
and of course, Formica...
i can usually get any one of those 4 at almost any outlet in RI... the outlets have the sample boards.. we give them the order and get the product in about 2 days

Our supplier (Janovski Counter Tops - Markham: they deserve a plug) carries several lines. No monopoly from Formica, although I guess their brand has become the generic name (like Coke).
