Thickness = 3mm-50mm – (composites up to 100mm)
Standard panel sizes = 2440 / 3050x1220mm, 3050x1525mm
Max size = 3680x1840mm (full pallets/half loads only, subject to availability of core and laminate chosen)
Wide range of colours & decors
Hard-wearing surface
Wide variety of core materials available
Also available fire retardant to EN 13501 Class B
These products are produced from a core material that is faced on one or both faces with a hard-wearing HPL (high-pressure laminate).
All forms of plywood or other core can be supplied, e.g. MR MDF faced with a high pressure laminate bonded to both sides or one only with a balancer to the reverse.
These panels can be supplied in standard commercial panel sizes up to the maximum available size of that decor (e.g. 2440x1220mm, 3050x1220mm, 3050x1525mm, etc), or they can be cut and machined to your specific requirements.
NB: We would bring your attention to the detail regarding standard tolerances of commercial panel sizes in our standard terms & conditions)
What is HPL?
High pressure laminate is manufactured in a fusing process that results in an extra-hard decorative laminate. The multiple layers of kraft papers used for the decorative surface, inner layers and backing layer are all impregnated with phenolic resin and fused together in a multiple step press operation offering a wide range of decorative effects.
These laminates are then bonded to a core board in a separate process with glue under pressure. Heat is often is used to accelerate the curing process.
Colours, Woodgrains, Metallics & Abstracts
In principle we can supply bespoke production using any laminate you require, e.g. Altofina, Abet Laminati, Formica and Polyrey. (It is often possible to offer a closest match to colour systems such as RAL Classic, NCS and Pantone)
