Laminate (MFC/HPL/SGL)

MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard)

Best for: Dry environments with light to moderate use

MFC panels are manufactured from moisture-resistant chipboard faced with decorative paper and a melamine resin surface. This creates a durable, cost-effective finish suitable for lower traffic washrooms. Panels are 19mm nominal thickness with ABS-lipped edges for protection.

MFC is a practical choice for offices, commercial buildings and other low-use environments where style and value are important.

Available in 34 laminate colours and across all Venesta V ranges.

HPL (High Pressure Laminate)

Best for: Busier washrooms and higher traffic environments

HPL panels feature a high pressure laminate surface made from multiple layers of kraft paper bonded together with phenolic resins, finished with a decorative layer. The laminate is then bonded to a moisture-resistant chipboard core, creating a panel that is more resistant to impact, scratches and general wear. Panels are 19mm nominal thickness with ABS-lipped edges.

HPL is commonly specified for schools, universities, offices and shopping centres, where washrooms experience heavier daily use.

Available in 34 laminate colours across a wide range of Venesta cubicle systems.

SGL (Solid Grade Laminate)

Best for: Wet areas and high vandalism environments

SGL is a solid laminate panel manufactured from layers of kraft paper bonded with phenolic resins under heat and pressure, forming an extremely dense and durable material. It is fully waterproof and highly impact resistant. Panels are 13mm nominal thickness with polished radiused edges.

SGL is ideal for leisure centres, stadiums, transport hubs and other demanding environments, where durability and hygiene are essential.

Available in 34 laminate colours with both standard and bespoke sizing options.
