First High Gloss Horizontal Grade Laminate
2007-10-15

The first high pressure laminate (HPL) to have a high gloss surface has been launched by Abet on the UK market. HR LAQ is a Collection of high gloss surface laminates with very high resistance to scratching, wear and abrasion. Horizontal Grade Standard (HGS) laminate provides the designer with a choice of 24 bold and bright colours.

Traditionally, there have been problems with manufacturing laminate with a high gloss finish for horizontal applications. The solution is a new resistant finished called LUC-2. This finish provides the laminate with higher durability and level of shine compared with standard finishes. Importantly, it maintains high levels of brightness and a scratch-free surface during use.

Since the launch, the new Collection has proved very popular with architects, designers and shopfitters worldwide. In response to this, Italian laminate manufacturer Abet will extend the range of finishes and colours for HR LAQ. In addition, certain decorative designs and finishes from other Collections, including the popular Legni woodgrain and Finti ranges, will be added.
