As the region's Wilsonart distributor and representative, Fessenden Hall Inc. is proud to introduce the 2026 Wilsonart Commercial HPL Collection.

Developed in response to today's shift toward calmer, more versatile commercial interiors, the collection expands Wilsonart's HPL offering with a curated selection of Harmony Woodgrains, Strata Patterns, and Terrene Textiles. Together, these designs provide architects and interior designers with greater flexibility to coordinate materials, layer textures, and create cohesive environments with subtle contrast and visual depth.

The balanced warm and cool undertones are intentionally designed to coordinate seamlessly across the Wilsonart portfolio—including HPL, Solid Surface, Quartz, THINSCAPE®, and Wetwall—making specification simpler while supporting a consistent design vision across multiple surfaces and applications.
With options available in both standard and premium finishes, the new collection helps designers balance aesthetic flexibility, durability, and performance across residential, workplace, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail, and multifamily projects.

Fessenden Hall is proud to partner with Wilsonart in bringing innovative, design-forward material solutions to the ASID PA East design community throughout New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Delmarva Peninsula.

Schedule a presentation with your local Fessenden Hall representative to explore the collection.
