NuformSeamless. Clean. Beautiful
Nuform is Inscape’s unique and exclusive worksurface and vertical surface application. Nuform can be utilized in panel system, benching system, tables, worksurfaces and storage. Its seamless edge provides a clean aesthetic where bacteria, fungus and mold cannot penetrate edges. Elimination of seams also helps diminish the accumulation of potential contaminants and makes cleaning easy.
Nuform Worksurface Edge Detail
Nuform is a durable, beautiful alternative to conventional worksurfaces. Its uninterrupted seamless edge looks and performs better than traditional laminate edge-banding. For worksurfaces, our tapered edge is ergonomically superior to traditional 90 degree edges, providing a comfortable sloped surface that eliminates pressure on wrists.

Performance ComparisonTaber Abrasion Test Results
Nuform provides an increased level of impact, scratch, marring, chemical and abrasion resistance when compared to standard thermofoils. Taber Abrasionis an indicator of the top coat’s ability to resist wear. Abrasion is measured on the Taber machine as the sample is subjected to circular cycles until the first notice of ink loss. All samples (left) are shownat 400 cycles. Nuform has twice the durability of laminate on resisting scratches and abrasion.
SPECIFICATION
Nuform meets the ASTM, NEMA LD3 and UL requirement for:
• Abrasion Resistance
• Color stability
• Impact resistance
• UL723 Flammability for smoke and flame spread index
