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).

maximum durability.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 benchtops, joinery,
wall panelling, lockers, and tables where scuff resistance is
important.

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 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.
