What is HPL compact countertops
Remica’s HPL compact countertops are made using the most advanced processes and equipment. HPL, which stands for High Pressure Laminate, consists of layers of durable and long-lasting materials.
With a melamine layer on top, this type of surface:
- heat-resistant
- waterproof
- easy to clean
And since it comes in many different designs and finishes to choose from, it’s a versatile option for both residential and commercial use.
HPL Compact Countertop Production Process
The manufacturing process of an HPL compact countertop involves two technologies – hot pressing & impregnation technology.
The whole process involves combining layers of special kraft paper and other decorative types of paper using the impregnation technology. The layers of sheets are soaked in resins to ensure the stability and durability of the product.
Finally, the layers of special paper go through hot pressing (also called high-pressure lamination or HPL). This method requires the application of very high heat and pressure, which results in a bonded and compact countertop.
The tedious process involved in the production of HPL compact countertops results in a moistureproof, heat-resistant surface that’s ideal for residential and commercial use.
HPL Compact Countertop Classifications
While aesthetics is one aspect of choosing a countertop, performance is definitely an important factor to consider as well. This is one of the reasons why homeowners and designers are opting for HPL compact countertops – their versatility and structure make them a practical choice for different applications.
Traditional laminates, for example, use underlying materials for support. However, with HPL compact countertops, they’re self-supporting and strong. Yes, this type of product is slim at only about 10 to 12 mm in thickness.

Below are some of the designs and concepts that you can consider for your project. Feel free to reach out to us to see our catalogs.

– If you want to go for a minimalist look, solid colors like black or white are great options (they’re also the most popular ones). You can also opt for a gray shade or a more vibrant color, such as green, blue, or red (it really depends on your taste and overall design). The surface finish can either be glossy or matte.
2. Metallic
– For industrial and commercial interior designs, metallic effects that mimic copper, steel, or aluminum may prove to be more applicable. For this pattern, the surface finish can either be matte or brushed.
3. Wood
– Wood grain patterns offer an attractive, classic design without the hassles of maintaining real wood. You’ll find laminates with oak, walnut, and teak designs to match your home’s or office’s overall look. The surface finish can be matte or the original texture of wood.
4. Marble and Stone
– Real marble and stone materials can prove to be expensive, but there are HPL compact countertop options that are more affordable and practical. This offers a luxurious setting that resembles real marble and stone, but, of course, they’re not. The best surface finish for this type of pattern is either textured or glossy.
