Here are a couple of pictures of the bar front that I blogged about several weeks ago. They were taken with a cell phone, and the restaurant is in the middle of construction, but you can still get a pretty good idea of how the laminate blends with and complements the restaurant's interior.As mentioned before, it would be difficult to achieve that desired look with any other material and have the durability of plastic laminate.
The 3rd picture is of a plastic laminate wainscot panel where it buts to the concrete face of the bar. The portion that reads "La Forchetta" is obviously poured concrete, but notice how the laminate is nearly indistinguishable from the concrete.
