22mm MDF Laminated HPL solid
beech edges

Tabletops 22mm thickness are made from extremely strong
medium density fibreboard (MDF) insulation, which is stiff,
has no knots and has fine edges. The tops are also laminated
with high pressure lamination HPL (under heat [80-90 Celsius]
and pressure [250 kgs/m2]). No added formaldehyde (NAF).
Ivory colour or beige wood theme. Edges made from solid
beechwood painted with protective varnish, with safe and
gently and rounded edges.
A Special rounded Edge design without spacing
when tables are grouped (shark nose Edges)

HPL VS. MELAMINE

High Pressure Laminate is commonly referred to as HPL
and is manufactured under 1000kg per-square-metre of
pressure pressing down on 6 to 8 layers of kraft paper
bonded with phenolic resin glue, then topped by a
polymer facing. Applications include bench-tops, joinery,
wall panelling, lockers, and tables where scuff resistance is
prominentimportant.

0.7-1 mm HPL

Substrate

When you purchase HPL sheets, it is generally not attached to a substrate such as MDF or craft wood. Attaching it to a
timber substrate is an entirely separate process which that is commonly referred to as “laying up the laminate”. It should
be attached to a dense substrate (base wood layer) for best results. We use moisture resistant Medium Density Fibreboard
(MDF) as the substrate and ABET High-Pressure Laminates as the decorative surface. This results in the best possible finish
with maximum durability.
