Standard Colors are a line of colors that Kampel Enterprises Inc. always has in stock.  For Seamfil there are twenty standard colors that can be mixed by an individual to match any color.  For ColorFlex there are 219 colors that most countertops can be closely matched to.  However if you cannot mix the color you want or find a close match in ColorFlex then we have our Special Colors.  Special Colors are colors that are specially mixed by our in house color specialists to match the majority of the four major Laminate producers.

They typically have samples available to compare also.

SF-99 is a special proprietary blend of solvents that was designed for specific use on laminates and with SeamFil.  Other solvents can cause what’s called crazing which is dulling of the surface of your laminate or cracking.  We highly recommend only using SF-99 while doing your repair.

Seamfil is always a solid color, as there is no way to replicate a multi-colored flecks or patterns with the Seamfil prodcut. When you order a Special or Custom Color Seamfil to match a laminate that has color variations, the Seamfil will be mixed to match to one of the main colors in the laminate.

Custom Color Questions (7)

The best way to find your laminate color is to find the Manufacturer and color number of your laminate.  If you do not have that information available you can send in a piece that was left over from your builders or go to your local home repair store and see if you can find a sample to obtain this information.  If you cannot find a sample look for something that is a close match such as a paint sample from a home improvement store or you can remove a small piece of laminate that is in an inconspicuous location and mail that in.  Any samples mailed in will be returned upon request.
