Briefly about the material
The hpl panels are a composite material that was created not so long ago. Its main task is to extend the life of the building in various climatic zones, protect it from atmospheric influence, even its most aggressive manifestations. Panels were created specifically for this purpose and are used for facing walls and facades of buildings. The material has a multilayer structure, in which each layer performs its function.
Note! The multilayer structure developed by scientists has strengthened the positive characteristics.
The models of standard sizes are produced: thickness - 9.6-16 millimeters, maximum width - 1300 millimeters, maximum length - 3500-4000 millimeters. Due to their characteristics, they can be used in the following areas:
- External wall and facade decoration;
- Interior decoration of walls in sports, commercial and office premises;
- Use in decoration of restaurants and shops;
- Finishing in medical institutions.
What makes hpl panels so good?
Facade hpl panels are a new generation material, so they have many advantages. First, they have a larger format( 3600x1550 mm), while they are light enough and have the highest rigidity among similar materials. This allows them to be assembled without the use of rigging equipment and without auxiliary workers. Secondly, these panels have the strongest link between the layers. This factor makes the material resistant to shock, vibration, especially in places of mechanical fastening.
In addition, it perfectly resists temperature changes from -60 to +80 degrees Celsius and does not erode. Weathering is a common problem in cement-based materials. Third, it is resistant to chemical attack and exposure to the sun. This is a very important factor for wall panels, as in time their color will not burn out and will be saturated and homogeneous for many years.
In addition, panels from this material are easy to care for. If necessary, they can easily be washed and cleaned, since there are no irregularities and pores on the surface, where dirt can be clogged. This perfectly flat surface also contributes to the fact that they do not reflect sunlight, as laminated panels do. The glossy surface accentuates all surface irregularities. The installation of this material is very simple, and the use of a visible and invisible attachment system makes it possible to realize a variety of design ideas.
Note! A visible fastener system means that all screws, klyaymery will be visible on the surface, an invisible fastener system hides all the fastening elements of the
.
Pitfalls
The hpl wall panels have many advantages, but they are not ideal. Their main disadvantage is the installation system. To fix them, you must first mount a special crate. Since it occupies a certain place, then, accordingly, the area in the room is lost. This can be a serious drawback when operating this material in rooms with a small area.
However, this problem occurs only when the material is used indoors, and for use on exterior walls this problem disappears. But there is another drawback, which can seriously play a role in choosing panels - this is the price. This material is much more expensive than similar facade and wall panels. Despite all its advantages, this factor for many remains one of the main, so the price can be considered the most serious disadvantage of such panels.
Note! The high price is compensated by the longevity of the material, so, having bought and installed it once, you can permanently solve the problem with the appearance of the building.
