High Pressure Laminate (HPL) surfaces are our most versatile wall panel surface option. They provide a combination of performance, aesthetic appeal, and value.
Performance
- The HPL surface on a composite board substrate provide excellent scratch and impact resistance. They are a great choice for use in high traffic areas.
- HPL panels are available with Class A, B, and C fire ratings per ASTM E-84
- The non-porous surface offers superior stain and graffiti resistance. The panels are easily cleaned with non-abrasive household cleansers.
- HPL surfaces are hygienic and can standup to most healthcare disinfectants that kill bacteria and viruses. HPL’s from some of the manufacturers are available with built-in antimicrobial compounds as an option.
Aesthetic Appeal
- HPL’s from all commercially available HPL manufactures may be used on the wall panels. There are thousands of options for solid colors, geometric and abstract patterns, realistic wood and stone look options to choose from.
- Panel sizes are determined by the designer (typically max. 48” x 96”)
Value
- The durable HPL surface eliminates the need to patch and paint damaged painted drywall, recover walls with damaged vinyl wall coverings, or remove and replace broken tile or grout.
- Simple cleaning of the HPL is more cost effective than repainting drywall or block walls.
- New realistic woodgrain and stone patterns and textures produced in HPL are a low-cost alternative to natural materials (and may perform better, too).
