Fundermax HPL and its characteristics and usage for worktops

Fundermax HPL (high-pressure laminate) is included in the list of top materials that are used for the manufacture of countertops all over the world. Over decades of being used in different countries, this material has fully proven that the optimal areas of its use are in offices, HoReCa, for creating street and home furniture. The MEBLENS company uses Fundermax HPL for kitchen tables and backsplashes, as this material has proven itself excellently in terms of its characteristics.

Let's take a closer look at the properties of Fundermax HPL on the example of use in the kitchen or in the bathroom:

Moisture resistance

Since a kitchen or a bathroom is a place where the surface is constantly in contact with water, the counter tops must be moisture-resistant. HPL is the material that does not have a porous structure, so it does not absorb moisture and does not swell. Thus, the tabletop will last longer.

Easy cleaning

A particularly important characteristic is the choice of a kitchen worktop. The surface of Fundermax countertops is easy to clean with a regular soapy solution, even from old, dried oil, tea or coffee stains.

Heat resistance

The kitchen countertop from Fundermax can withstand high temperatures. This means that a hot pan will not damage the surface, even if it is left for a certain period of time.

Mechanical damage resistance

Fundermax countertops are made of high-strength HPL material, which guarantees their high resistance to damage such as impacts and scratches from household items or dishes.

Hypoallergenicity and hygiene

The Fundermax countertops are manufactured on high-tech equipment without the use of harmful materials. Also, any of panel coatings are resistant to acids, alkalis, chlorine-containing liquids and organic solvents. Therefore, the cleanliness of Fundermax panels can be maintained with such household and professional appliances as Mr. Muscle, Cillite, Domestos, ethyl, isopropyl and other alcohols, acetone, butyl acetate, etc. At the same time, the surface is not damaged even with repeated use, and retains its mattness or gloss. Due to all of these qualities, the material can be used not only in domestic rooms, but also in medical institutions.

In the portfolio of our works, you will find plenty of photos where we used Fundermax HPL, for example: a storage cabinet in the office, a backsplash and a kitchen countertop in wooden decor, a bedroom console table, living room wall panels. The material allows you to use it, even in complex, non-standard cases.
