High pressure laminate (HPL) is an excellent quality material, thanks to its functional and aesthetic properties. It is resistant to wear and steam, hygienic and versatile to cut and assemble. This make it an ideal material for making furniture. HPL is also ideal for all applications requiring both strength and a great design, and there are various different types. It is the most reliable material in terms of quality, while also being rich in aesthetic features. It can also be used to create contemporary design accessories in general. HPL also maintains its aesthetic and performance characteristics unaltered throughout its life cycle.

It is made up of layers of cellulose fibres impregnated with phenolic resins and features one or more layers of cellulose fibre on the surface, for aesthetic purposes. This surface layer is impregnated with thermosetting resins and bonded together by a high-pressure process, in accordance with standard EN 438:2005. Natural variations in temperature and humidity do not alter the properties of HPL. Being especially compact, HPL ensures an excellent combination of mechanical characteristics such as resistance to bending, traction, compression and impact. The panels are smooth and even, and have a high density, guaranteeing excellent resistance when removing fasteners. A very high percentage of the raw materials used for its production are recyclable.

Use a soft (non-abrasive), damp cloth to remove any dust deposits, particles or other dry material, without scouring the surface.

Use a non-abrasive cleaning agent to clean all surfaces and dry with a dry, soft cloth or paper towels.

Do not use abrasive or scratching substances (abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, descaling agents, hydrochloric or formic acid). Rinse with lukewarm water and dry without leaving halos.

If stains are still present, repeat the operation with liquid detergent and warm (not boiling) water, rinsing and drying the surface.

In case that dirt is deposited in the crevices, use a soft toothbrush: only go over the affected spot with gentle, circular movements so as not to scratch the surface.

Avoid pouring hot liquids into the sink.

In the case of persistent limescale, kitchen vinegar may be used on the affected area, leaving it for a maximum of a few minutes and rinsing immediately afterwards.
