LAMINAT ON MULTIPLEX
The advantage of laminate worktops on multiplex is the combination of the two materials. Here are some of the advantages of this combination:
-
Robustness and stability: Multiplex is a strong and stable material that forms a solid base for the worktop. It offers good load-bearing capacity and resistance to stress and deformation.
-
Versatile design: Laminate worktops offer a wide range of designs, colours and surface structures. By combining laminate with multiplex, you can choose the design and style you want for your kitchen.
-
Affordability: Laminate worktops on multiplex are usually less expensive than some other material options such as natural stone or solid wood. They offer good value for money and allow you to get an aesthetically pleasing worktop at an affordable price.
-
Easy care: Laminate worktops are easy to clean and only require regular cleaning with mild detergent and water. The smooth surface of the laminate is resistant to stains and does not require extensive maintenance.
-
Durability: The combination of laminate and multiplex results in a robust and hard-wearing worktop. It is resistant to scratches, heat and wear and can therefore withstand the daily stresses in the kitchen.
-
Easy installation: Laminate worktops on multiplex are usually lighter and easier to install than some other material options. This can shorten installation time and reduce installation costs.
It is important to note that laminate worktops on multiplex are not as heat resistant as some other materials and care should be taken to avoid heat damage. In addition, they can be more susceptible to moisture at the edges if not properly sealed. Proper care and maintenance is therefore important to maintain the longevity and beauty of the worktop.
MANUFACTURING
Die Laminat Oberfläche wird auf eine Multiplex/Sperrholz Platte oder MDF Platte bei Eiche oder Räuchereichen Kante kaschiert. Die Stärke der Arbeitsplatte kann von 20-30mm gewählt werden.
Die Kanten der Fenix-Arbeitsplatten bestehen aus der typischen Ildefonso Kante der Multiplex Platte oder massiver Natur- oder Räuchereichen Kante als Einleimer. Alle Kanten werden mit einem Naturöl behandelt und haben einen Radius von 1,0mm.
More about the material
HPL stands for High Pressure Laminate, i.e. laminate pressed under high pressure.
To produce HPL, several layers of paper are soaked in melamine resin. After curing, the resin creates a thermosetting plastic. This means that the material subsequently no longer deforms and can withstand temperatures of up to 180°C.
During production, a decorative paper and a transparent overlay are inserted over the core paper layer. In the end, these two overlay layers give the surface of the HPL board and allow a wide range of possible patterns and colours.
However, laminate also has one weakness. You should be careful with hot pots and pans and always use a trivet, otherwise the glue between the backing board and the laminate could come loose.
Care and maintenance
Attention: At this point we would like to strongly advise against using abrasives or scouring agents for cleaning. These roughen the surface and destroy the protective and decorative layer of the HPL panel. Scratches and changes in gloss level are among the consequences.
Since the surface does not provide a breeding ground for bacteria, the boards are very hygienic and therefore also recommended for families with children.
Another plus point in favour of HPL is the environmental aspect. The resistance ensures a long life and thus a long use. Since the main component is paper, HPL panels can be almost completely thermally recycled.
And the material is also very durable, resistant and easy to clean. It can be cleaned with common household cleaners and also stands up well to acids. The surface can be cleaned with a microfibre cloth soaked in warm water or a wall eraser. Virtually all household cleaners can be used on the surface of the worktop.
