Is HPL resistant to heat, moisture, and scratches?
HPL sheets are highly heat, moisture, and scratch-resistant, among other attributes that make them suitable for a variety of demanding environments. The manufacturing process involves high-pressure and high-temperature bonding, which enhances the material's resistance to the external factors by the bonding of the layers together.
Thermal Resistance: HPL can withstand high heat, making it safe for most kitchen counters and surfaces where objects will be placed.
Moisture Resistance: Unlike plywood, which warps or swells with exposure to moisture, HPL does not lose shape at all. That is why HPL can be perfectly applied in bathrooms, kitchens, and wet rooms.
Scratch Resistance: The hard outer layer of the HPL sheets provides really good protection against scratching and scuffing, especially in heavy-traffic areas like table tops, counter surfaces, and flooring.
