  3. Colors
    1. All colors from the above listed HPL manufacturers are available in non fire-rated.
    2. Not all colors are available in fire-rated. Availability of specific colors for fire-rated applications must be checked during the designing stage.
  4. Finishes
    1. The majority of all the above listed HPL manufacturers’ finishes are available in the matte finish for fire-rated decorative HPL laminates.
    2. The various HPL manufacturers offer a very limited group of other finishes for decorative HPL fire-rated. Availability of specific finishes must be checked during the design stage.
  5. Sizes
    1. Formica and Wilsonart HPL laminate fire-rated is only available in 4x8 and 4x10 foot material.
    2. Nevamar and Pionite do offer a very limited group of other sizes. Availability of specific sizes must be checked during the design stage.
  6. Since there are so many variables related to the HPL laminate colors, finishes and sizes available in fire-rated, it is recommended that specific availability be checked though Custom Plastics or directly from the individual laminate manufacturers area architectural specification representative during the design stage.
  7. Panel Sizes
    1. All panel widths will be 23-15/16.
    2. Panel lengths can vary from 12” up through 120”.
    3. For higher wall panel installations, the height can be stacked utilizing a combination of sizes to achieve any desired height without any limitations. To achieve these stacked heights, horizontal divider molding should be integrated into the system to provide additional strength.
  8. Other Panel Limitations
    1. When interior panels are installed on an exterior wall, a moisture barrier must be installed utilizing plastic at a minimum.
    2. When interior panels are installed on a cinder block exterior wall, a more substantial moisture barrier must be utilized. This would include using a heavy waterproof roofing type paper and plastic sheet. Horizontal furring strips will need to be used for attachment of the divider molding.
    3. When interior panels are utilized in wet spaces, it is recommended that our Marine Panel System be utilized with stainless steel, aluminum, or galvanized facers. The ends and edges of the panels must be sealed off to prevent moisture from entering the core.
