Exterior HPL Cladding
Compact high pressure laminate panels for a premium, low-maintenance facade. Rich wood-grain and solid decors that resist sun, rain and impact, fixed as a ventilated facade that lasts for years.
Overview
About HPL Cladding
Exterior HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is a dense, solid panel made by pressing many layers of resin-impregnated kraft paper under high heat and pressure, with a decorative face protected by a UV-resistant surface. The panel is the same material all the way through, which makes it strong, stable and impact resistant.
HPL is usually installed as a ventilated facade: panels are fixed to an aluminium sub-frame with an air gap behind them, which keeps the wall dry and the building cooler. It gives the warm look of timber on a facade without any polishing or painting.

FAQs
Common Questions
It is a compact, solid high pressure laminate panel made for outdoor use. Unlike interior laminates, it is thick and self-supporting, with a UV-protected surface that withstands sun and rain.
ACP is lighter and more economical, and ideal for sleek metallic or solid-colour facades. HPL is thicker and more impact resistant, with very realistic wood decors, and is preferred for premium timber-look elevations.
Good-quality exterior HPL installed as a ventilated facade lasts for many years with only occasional cleaning, as the colour is protected against UV.
