Due to the impact of Hurricane Helene on Wilsonart’s Fletcher facility, lead times for Wilsonart materials have extended to 8-10 weeks for both sheet goods and postform blanks from Hartson-Kennedy. While we are receiving some colors, the process has been slow, and we cannot predict exactly when we will get specific materials. Wilsonart anticipates that supply chains will catch up and return to normal during the second quarter of this year. In the meantime, we recommend that customers consider Formica laminates as an alternative.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
**Alternative Solutions**: We are directing our customers towards Formica laminates, which are currently more readily available. If you have specific requirements, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
**Communication**: We encourage designers looking to order Wilsonart sheet goods or postform countertops to email us to check on our current inventory before placing an order. This will help ensure that we can meet your needs as efficiently as possible.
**Updates**: Wilsonart will continue to provide updates on lead times during the recovery process. They still have work to do in both ramping up production and restoring normal operations of their distribution center.
We sincerely apologize for the hassle and inconvenience this may cause. Our commitment to delivering high-quality countertops and exceptional service remains unwavering, and we are confident that we will overcome these challenges together.
