Duropal

Duropal Worktops Top Velvet (VV)
Elegantly matt, smooth and fine structure, sensitive design. Recommended for horizontal and vertical applications.

Duropal Worktops Perfect Finish (PF)
Ultra-fine non-directional structure. Refractive light effect. For both horizontal and vertical applications.

Duropal Worktops Top Face (TC)
Universally applicable neutral and ideal surface. TC is a classic for worktops as this surface is particularly resistant to fingerprints.

Duropal Worktops Enhanced Semi Matt (MS)
This surface is distinguished by its pleasantly natural feel.

Duropal Worktops Enhanced High Gloss (HS)
HS is a fashionable yet enhanced performance gloss finish designed to both complement the effect of the decor and provide improved abrasion resistance when compared to standard gloss finishes. All gloss surface finishes will scratch and will also show scratches more easily. Additional care should be taken accordingly in both installation and use.

Duropal Worktops Trevista (TR)
Strong, directional wooden pores. For horizontal and vertical applications.

Duropal worktops Crystal Stone (CT)
CT is a surface texture especially suitable for stone reproduction decors. Whilst offering both the feel and optical effect of a natural stone surface, the product retains the usual high performance characteristics of a Duropal worktop.

Duropal worktops Fine Grain (FG)
Fine Grain has a fine texture and evokes an association with ceramics and stoneware. Wood becomes tangible, gets a softer feel and a natural impression. The visual matt appearance is supported by its tactile appeal.

Duropal Worktops Rustica (RU)
Looks and feels like brushed wood with a gloss-matt effect. It addresses the current trend for strong and distinctive surfaces. The surface texture is parallel without pronounced wood figures, knots, etc.

Melamine resin is the hardest of all synthetically produced organic materials. This is the reason for the high scratch and wear resistance of Duropal-HPL. The high impact resistance of the material is due to the elasticity of phenolic resin. These properties also explain the high resistance of HPL to chemicals and heat. Burning a cigarette on the surface of HPL is one of the quality tests specied in DIN-EN 438, which also determines all the other qualities important for the user. However, the bottoms of saucepans and ovenware can become extremely hot and Duropal recommend using a protective pad. 

Since 1958 Duropal® has been a world leader in the manufacture of decorative high pressure laminates (HPL). Throughout the 1960’s Duropal® was at the forefront of technological development in the industry including the first industrial scale application of urea resins for gluing HPL to chipboard; the recognised standard in use today. In 1969, the present day. Arnsberg site was acquired and developed. The reputation for creative innovation was reinforced throughout the 1970’s with the introduction of the 4.1 metre length press and new textures. Commitment to the UK market was secured by the opening of an office in Gerrards Cross in 1977. Innovation grew with new investment in the 1980’s through the acquisition of a majority shareholding by Pfleiderer The investment continued into the 1990’s with a new high capacity HPL press and the acquisition of the remaining shareholding of the original Duropal-Werk Eberhard Wrede GmbH & Co. KG by Pfleider then soon to become Pfleiderer AG

The pace of change continues in the current decade. A new continuously operating HPL press was commissioned in 2001 at the Arnsberg factory, and indeed further significant investment is currently being made with the addition of a second continuously operating HPL press. In July 2004 significant investment was made in new offices at Macclesfield in Cheshire, thereby providing for Duropal Pfleiderer continued commitment to serve and support the UK markets. Duropal® by Pfleiderer Worktops, HPL panels and upstands.
