Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between HPL and TFL?
HPL (High Pressure Laminate) and TFL (Thermally Fused Laminate) differ in their manufacturing and application. HPL is created by layering paper infused with resin and bonding it under high heat and pressure. HPL is significantly more durable than TFL, and more commonly used in high touch applications like counter tops and furniture that demand extra durability.
TFL panels are made by fusing a resin-impregnated sheet of décor paper directly to a substrate. Because there is no kraft paper used in TFL, the resulting panel is ready for finishing. This approach is well-suited for vertical applications where extreme durability is less of a concern, such as the interior surfaces of cabinets or furniture.

Wilsonart’s innovative coordinated surfaces program allows for a harmonious blend of HPL and TFL in a single application. This means you can maximize the durability of HPL on horizontal surfaces while maintaining a consistent design aesthetic by incorporating TFL for interior components. This strategic pairing showcases the versatility and adaptability of these laminate materials, ensuring they meet the specific demands of various applications.
What’s the difference between MDF and HPL?
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is a substrate material, while HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is a surface material. MDF is an engineered wood product made from compressed wood fibers and resin, and on its own typically looks unfinished. HPL is a high performing decorative sheet that can mimic the beauty of natural stone, finished woodgrains, fabrics and more. HPL is preferred for surfaces like countertops and wall panels, valued for its durability and customizable designs.
What are the best applications for HPL?
High Pressure Laminate (HPL) finds its best applications in various areas due to its durability and aesthetic qualities. It excels in countertop surfaces, kitchen workspaces, office furniture, wall panels, tabletops and bathroom vanities, thanks to its resistance to moisture, impact, and heat. In commercial settings, HPL is ideal for healthcare, hospitality, offices, educational, retail, and more due to its robustness and customizable designs. Additionally, it's commonly used for residential furniture and cabinetry, combining style and strength effectively.
How is HPL made?
High pressure laminate (HPL) is made through a multi-step process. It begins with layers of kraft paper infused with phenolic resin for durability. On top of this, decorative paper treated with melamine resin adds aesthetics. The layers are then pressed together under high heat, around 300°F, and pressure exceeding 1000 psi, creating a strong bond. The result is a robust, durable, and visually appealing material that’s used in furniture, countertops, and more.
What textured finishes are available on Wilsonart HPL?
Wilsonart HPL features several textures to choose from, and availability may vary per design. For information regarding alternate textures, sizes and up-charges, please browse the Pattern Availability section of a laminate design detail page to see available finishes.
