Arpa HPL. Arpa Industriale in Italy has 70 years of experience in creating the perfect combination of decorative, colour, design and texture. Thanks to continuous innovation, Arpa finishes uniquely interpret the material dimension of high-pressure laminate.

What is Arpa High Pressure Laminate (HPL)?

Arpa HPL is both an easy to work with and a very robust material: resistant to scratches, impacts, abrasion,chemicals and heat; features that make it ideal for a wide range of applications.
A selection of Arpa panels are made with special treatments to ensure more properties: an Arpa laminate can, in fact, be antibacterial and fire retardant, therefore it is particularly suitable for applications in public places or in cases where a high level of hygiene is required, from kitchens to laboratories, including means of transport and hospitals.

TACTILE AESTHETICS

70 years of experience in creating the perfect combination between decor, colour, design and texture.

Thanks to continuous innovation, Arpa’s finishes interpret in a unique way the material dimension of high pressure laminates.

CHARACTERISTICS

The high pressure laminates designed by Arpa Industriale have all the style of made in Italy product. They combine excellent aesthetic quality with properties and virtues of interest to those who conceive or create interior design solutions, starting from ductility and strength. Arpa’s HPL is a material that is both easy to work with and extremely strong: resistant to scratches, impact, abrasion, chemical substances, and heat. These characteristics make it ideal for a wide range of applications. To ensure additional properties: an Arpa laminate can be, in fact, antibacterial and fireproof, therefore especially suitable for applications in public places or in cases in which a high degree of hygiene is particularly important, from kitchens, to laboratories where analyses are carried out, to means of transportation, to hospitals.

PRESSED PANELS made with FENIX

MDF

FENIX can be pressed on either 18mm MDF (Moisture-Resistant E0), 25mm or 30mm MDF (E0) resulting in an almost 20mm, 27mm or 32mm finished panel thickness. The sheet size is 3.045m x 1.220m.

BIRCH PLYWOOD

FENIX can be pressed on either 18mm or 24mm birch plywood resulting in an almost 20mm or 26mm finished panel thickness. The sheet size is 2.435m x 1.215m.

FENIX Pressed Panels are available in two options*:

  • Face Two Sides (F2S) is where FENIX is pressed onto both faces (or sides) of the substrate for a more premium option.
  • One Face One Back (1F1B) is where FENIX is pressed onto one face (or side) of the substrate, with a similarly coloured ARPA HPL (high-pressure laminate) pressed onto the back face, providing a lower cost option. (FENIX NTM Bloom is currently available in F2S only)

PANEL EDGING OPTIONS

  • Colour-matched Laser ABS edging*, and Standard ABS PU edging are available for the FENIX NTM and FENIX NTM Bloom ranges. The FENIX NTA range is only available in a Standard PU ABS edging only (not laser).
  • Laser ABS edging is available* in colour-matched 23mm and 43mm widths x 1mm thickness
  • Standard ABS PU edging unglued available in colour-matched 23mm and 43mm widths x 1mm thickness
  • FENIX Colour Core edging* in 1.2mm thickness

DARK COLOUR DESIGN CONSIDERATION

Putting dark colour benchtops and cabinetry panels into direct sunlight applications can affect the substrate performance in terms of product movement.
