HPL sheets cut to size - FAQs, accessories & installation

Here you’ll find concise answers about HPL cut-to-size sheets (6/8 mm), matching accessories and the most important installation notes (thermal expansion / rear ventilation).

Which HPL sheets can I order online?

Choose 6 mm or 8 mm, configure your millimetre-precise cut-to-size order (format tolerance +/-1 mm) and – depending on the product – you can also request custom CNC routing (e.g. cut-outs, drill holes, contours up to 3 x 2 metres).

Can I order matching accessories directly from S-Polytec?

Yes – for a clean look and a stable installation you can get matching accessories in matching colours: aluminium profiles (U-/H-/corner profiles), facade screws, facade rivets, balcony screws and a suitable drill bit.

How do I install HPL sheets correctly (consider thermal expansion)?

HPL has a relatively high thermal expansion. That’s why the panels must be installed stress-free so they can expand/contract – otherwise bulging or stress cracks may occur.

Our black anodised aluminium V-profiles are used for substructures where two facade panels are to be installed next to each other
Example of a clean installation: profile solution for two adjacent HPL panels.
  • Fixed point + sliding points: One fixing point is executed as a fixed point (hole matched to the fastener), all other points as sliding points (oversized hole).
  • Example hole size: With a 4 mm screw, the sliding-point hole is drilled to approx. 8 mm, so there is enough play for expansion.
  • Don’t “clamp”: Set screws/rivets so the panel is guided but not under tension.
  • Plan joints: Leave sufficient clearance to adjacent components/panels (expansion joints).
  • Rear ventilation on facades: Always install facade panels with rear ventilation to prevent heat build-up and warping.

Rule of thumb: Don’t place drill holes too close to the edge and protect panel edges neatly with profiles/covers.

Why do HPL panels need rear ventilation on facades?

For facade applications, HPL panels should be installed with rear ventilation. Rear ventilation helps balance temperature and moisture differences. This reduces the risk of deformation (warping/bowing) and keeps the construction stable in the long term.

A suitable substructure (e.g. timber/aluminium) with a defined distance to the wall is important so air can circulate.

Which is better: screws or rivets?

That depends on the substructure:

  • Timber substructure: usually screws (e.g. facade screws / balcony screws).
  • Metal substructure: often rivets (facade rivets) or suitable screw solutions.

For a consistent look, fasteners are available in matching colours to the panel and profiles.

Which drill bit is suitable for HPL?

HPL is hard – for clean holes (lower risk of chipping) we recommend a suitable drill bit, ideally a dedicated solid-carbide (VHM) drill bit.

Do you offer a sample service?

Yes – free sample shipping. This lets you check the decor/colour in advance and then choose matching accessories (profiles, screws, rivets) in coordinated colours.

What is the delivery time?

We keep all HPL sheets and accessories in stock. Your order is usually dispatched within 2–3 days. Carriers typically need another 1–2 days.

Is collection in 47559 Kranenburg possible?

Yes – collection is possible. With collection, even larger formats can be ordered, up to 4200 x 1860 mm.

What are HPL sheets?

HPL sheets are particularly robust decorative panels that are often used for exterior facades, balcony cladding or in furniture making. The abbreviation HPL stands for High Pressure Laminate.

During production, several layers – typically kraft papers, wood fibres and resins – are stacked and pressed under very high pressure and heat into a solid panel. The many layers form the typical, usually dark core. The more layers used, the thicker the finished HPL sheet becomes.

The surface is created using a decor paper that defines the final design. This is why HPL is available in countless colours and decors: from solid colours such as grey, black or white to wood, stone, concrete or rust looks.

Many HPL panels are suitable for outdoor use because they withstand moisture, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations well.
