Over 1,000 sheets of High Pressure Laminate (HPL) were supplied for the interiors of the Emirates Stadium. This included Formica Compact for the players' changing rooms and general admission toilet facilities. Formica Compact is said to be suited to high impact and high moisture environments. The Spectrum Red Formica Compact echoes Arsenal's distinctive team colour. Many of the 'back of house' reception desks and print journalists and photographers workstations, along with press desks in the seating bowl, were also fabricated using HPL from Formica bonded to an MDF substrate.

With the aesthetic of natural wood combined with the practicality of laminate, Formica Veneer is a sustainable option incorporating reconstituted real wood veneers derived from fast growing species such as poplar, obeche, basswood and bamboo. They are all sourced from sustainably managed forests. The 30 designs are available in a 2440x1220mm sheet size and have a tactile surface. Two distinct textures have been developed to give each species a complementary and natural look and feel.
