Melamine-faced board
Resin-impregnated decorative paper is pressed directly onto the board, producing a ready surface for cabinets, shelves and fronts. Performance depends on both surface and substrate.
HPL is a separate layered sheet
HPL is made by pressing resin-impregnated paper layers under high pressure. Thin HPL is bonded to a suitable substrate. Select the appropriate grade for worktops or vertical fronts.
Compare actual samples
Check intended use, texture, joints and edge protection. A finish name or attractive decor does not make a wood-based substrate waterproof.
Check before ordering
- What is the substrate?
- Is the grade right for the application?
- How are edges protected?
