Perforated HPL Facades
Cladding building exteriors with High-Pressure Laminate (compact laminate, HPL panel) is a contemporary method of external decoration for structures and edifices. This process involves installing panels on the external facade surface, providing the building with a unique and distinctive appearance. Apart from the decorative aspect, the use of this material offers several other effective properties, including high durability. HPL production using high-pressure and temperature technology makes them resilient and resistant to mechanical damage, scratches, impacts, moisture, stains, and environmental influences.
Adding a modern technology of perforation to the popular, high-quality material results in a contemporary solution for decoration – perforated HPL facades. The laminate involves the presence of openings or cuts on the surface of the HPL panel. These can take various geometric forms, providing both aesthetic and functional advantages. Some crucial aspects where HPL perforation in facade systems ensures:
- Design and aesthetics: Perforated facades can add a unique design and style to the building.
- Visual effect: Openings can create interesting graphical patterns, images, or other key details on the facade surface.
Advantages of perforated HPL panels:
- Artistic exterior appearance;
- Control of light permeability;
- Air exchange and ventilation properties;
- Acoustic insulation;
- Lightweight;
- Fundamental material characteristics such as high strength and durability;
- Operational ease of installation.
The process of perforating compact laminate for facades is carried out on CNC machines, resulting in specific dimensions of the required openings. The cost of perforation depends on both the thickness of the processed panel and the design pattern. For instance, cutouts can have relatively large dimensions with a minimal quantity on the panel surface, or vice versa, numerous small-sized openings. Certainly, the price for both options will significantly differ, as the length of the cut will vary, leading to different processing hours.
If there is a need to purchase HPL panels with a specific pattern, Cut Façade company is a reliable partner in supplying such decoration. In the absence of a particular design, more than 30 self-designed options are available for selection, and custom development with the involvement of the company’s in-house designer is also possible.
