Panorama and Welcome Home Introduce Arborite to the Residential Market with Kitchen-Focused Product Lines. Arborite is bringing its material expertise to the residential sector with Maison, a new family of products designed exclusively for the kitchen. Maison, which launches across both the US and Canada in 2016, will be the umbrella for curated lines focused on the residential consumer and specifically, the kitchen. To start off, Maison will encompass the Panorama and Welcome Home series, pairing the luxurious aesthetic of natural stone with the versatility and convenience of high-pressure laminate. Panorama’s full-scale scans capture the unique imperfections and veining of true stone, while Welcome Home’s neutral palette emulates composite stone. 

New Series Uses Real Stone Slabs To Create An Authentic Look Ideal For Kitchens. Arborite is bringing their Panorama series of true-to-life stone look laminates to the kitchen as part of their new Maison collection. This residentially focused line celebrates the genuine scale and veining of luxurious granite and marble often sought after in homes, but with the sustainable, easy-to-maintain, and affordable benefits of laminate. To fully capture this look, the Arborite design team painstakingly selected real stone slabs to create the resulting laminate, which showcases the grand scale and elegant imperfections found in the original stone.

New Feature Allows Designers, Consumers to Explore Arborite Designs and Employ Them in Endless Applications. Canadian laminate leader Arborite is continuing to expand its digital prowess with the launch of its online Visualizer. This new tool allows users to “dream it, build it, see it” by selecting a space from a variety of options – such as retail, hotel, or kitchen – and customizing it to fit their design style using Arborite’s extensive collection of laminate offerings.
