HPL Sheets – [https://www.reynobondindia.com/high-pressure-laminates-hpl-panel/ High Pressure Laminates] : For a very long time, traditional wood – with its pristine looks has been used in various ways to suffice for our dwelling needs. Our buildings always used the beauty and usefulness of wood. However, in-spite of its advantages, wood had some serious shortcomings. First, it was not in abundant supply. Second, it had a life limited to a couple of years and its maintenance was not easy.

Also, it is here that ReynoArch brought forward AHPL, which is an Aluminum based High Pressure Laminate (HPL Sheets). It is more durable and elegant in looks as compared to wood. It is also highly weather resistant. AHPL has overcome the shortcomings of wood as it is manufactured using aluminium coil with double layered Lumiflon coating that is resistant to dust.

To top it all ReynoArch HPL sheets come in a variety of colors, textures and sizes. ReynoArch also offers customized colors and sizes. All this at a very competitive price coupled with an unmatched quality. AHPL has redefined the concept of high-end facade and exterior. ReynoArch offers professional service as it has a robust marketing network in India and abroad. Whether it is Villas, housing societies, corporate buildings or resorts, AHPL is a perfect foil in place of wood.

== Beautifying the Designs with HPL Sheets ==

HPL sheets are used all over the world because of their flexibility and longevity. When compared to wood, it is more robust and graceful in appearance. It is, therefore, very immune to the elements. HPL has solved the disadvantages of wood when it is made from aluminium coil with a double-layered dust-resistant Lumiflon coating. It has a polyethylene backbone that is water, fungi, and termite resistant. In a state-of-the-art facility, HPL is built. Unlike other commonly used High Pressure Laminates and, of course, wood, the production method for Reynobond HPL Sheets design is so rigorous that it is highly efficient under harsh weathering conditions.

== HPL Panel Layers ==

* The first layer is Overlay- The exterior layer of the HPL sheets is a translucent melamine overlay for added protection and stain resistance.
* The second layer is the décor layer, which is where the wall’s real appearance or attractiveness resides. Also, it may be plainly colored or come in a variety of fabrics, colors, and patterns.
* The third layer is Fibreboard Core – The hard repair layer that ensures superior stability is the fibreboard core.
* The final layer/ bottom layer is made up of melamine impregnated paper, which provides dimensional integrity and moisture tolerance.

What is an HPL Sheet? Where are HPL Sheets used?

HPL cladding, or high-pressure laminate cladding for short, is primarily used for exterior and interior surfacing in commercial and residential properties. Multiple layers of kraft paper saturated with thermosetting mastics with incomparable bonding strength are heated to create this cladding.

Is HPL a water-resistant material?

Yes, ReynoArch HPL is water-resistant making it a perfect application for home exteriors.

What is HPL wall cladding, and how does it work?

HPL sheets are used for wall cladding in both exterior and interior architectural architecture because of their rigidity and resilience. It is the finest modern-day building material for cladding because it can withstand extreme weather, and its extended life span is exceptional for use. High-Pressure Laminate is a lightweight metal that is easy to install, so custodians widely use it.

HPL cladding

2023-03-04T06:43:54Z

Reynoarch:

The term 'cladding' refers to components that are attached to the primary structure of a building to form non-structural, external surfaces. This is as opposed to buildings in which the external surfaces are formed by structural elements, such as masonry walls, or applied surfaces such as render.

[https://www.reynobondindia.com/high-pressure-laminates-hpl-panel/ High Pressure Laminates] (HPL) panels are a form of cladding typically manufactured by layering sheets of wood or paper fibre with a resin and bonding them under heat and pressure. They sometimes include additional chemicals to provide fire retardant properties and are available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Panels which incorporate fire retardant chemicals are sometimes referred to as “FR grade” and these will typically achieve Class B-s1, d0. Panels manufactured without fire retardant chemicals are typically Class C or D, depending on the thickness of the panel.

Following the Grenfell Tower Fire and subsequent concerns regarding the fire performance of cladding panels (in particular Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding), the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) conducted a BS8414 test of a cladding system comprising an HPL panel with fire retardant (Class B-s1, d0) together with stone wool insulation. This system achieved the performance criteria set out in BR135 Fire performance of external thermal insulation for walls of multistorey buildings. As a result, the MHCLG Expert Panel consider this combination of materials can be safe on existing buildings, depending on the composition of the entire cladding systems and how it is fitted.

However, the Expert Panel consider that systems using HPL panels of Class C or D are very unlikely to adequately resist the spread of fire. In addition, systems using any type of HPL panels (Class B, C or D) with combustible insulation are very unlikely to adequately resist the spread of fire. Building owners with these systems should immediately take action in line with Advice Note 14 (first published in December 2017 and updated in December 2018).

The Expert Panel considers the level of risk from unsafe HPL systems is not as high as the risk from unsafe systems using ACM Category 3 panels. Therefore, they advise that the immediate removal of unsafe systems using ACM Category 3 panels should be the priority, followed by immediate action to remediate unsafe HPL systems. However, for the avoidance of doubt they reiterate that both the removal of unsafe ACM Category 3 panels and action to remediate unsafe HPL systems should be carried out as soon as possible.

The Expert Panel states that it is not aware of any HPL panel meeting the requirements of the ban on the use of combustible materials in external walls which limits materials to products achieving a classification of Class A1 or A2-s1,d0, and so they should not be used in an external wall when carrying out building works on new residential buildings of 18m or more (i.e. new build, refurbishment of the external wall or a material change of use).

Ref [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advice-for-owners-of-residential-buildings-with-hpl-systems https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advice-for-owners-of-residential-buildings-with-hpl-systems]

In May 2020, the government launched a £1billion fund to meet the cost of replacing unsafe non-ACM cladding systems on residential buildings in the private and social sector that are 18 metres and over and do not comply with building regulations. Ref [https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-1-billion-building-safety-fund-to-remove-dangerous-cladding-from-high-rise-buildings https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-1-billion-building-safety-fund-to-remove-dangerous-cladding-from-high-rise-buildings]

The prospectus for the fund suggested that unsafe non-ACM cladding might include: ‘…some types of other (non-Aluminium) metal composite panels, High Pressure Laminate, render and timber wall systems where these do not meet fire safety standards.’ Ref [https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/887452/BSF_Non-ACM_Cladding_Prospectus.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/887452/BSF_Non-ACM_Cladding_Prospectus.pdf]

On 10 February 2020, the Housing Secretary announced the government would pay for the removal of unsafe cladding for all leaseholders in residential buildings of 18 metres (6 storeys) and over in England. Lower-rise buildings, with a lower risk to safety, will also gain new protection with no leaseholder paying more than £50 a month towards the removal of unsafe cladding. Including previous announcements, this represents a £5 billion investment in building safety. A new tax will be introduced for the UK residential property development sector to raise at least £2 billion over a decade to help pay for cladding remediation costs.
