HPL consists of layers of core and decorative paper. Saturated with resins, they are then pressed at high temperature and pressure between shaping steel plates. The result is a homogeneous sheet. HPL laminates provide unparalleled durability combined with superior resistance to impact, abrasion and general surface use. The surface is impenetrable to water and remains watertight even under heavy loads. The decorative paper used can be any color and any pattern can be applied to it. Textures can be ironed onto the surface and varying degrees of gloss can be applied, providing the chosen decor with the right look and surface texture.
