SGL (Solid Grade Laminate)
Solid Grade Laminate or SGL is also known as Compact Grade Laminate and is a tough and durable material, often referred to as 'bulletproof' here at Bushboard. Its water-resistant and wipe-clean property makes it an ideal choice for wet environments such as swimming pools. Due to being tough and durable, it is also recommended for high traffic, demanding environments like service stations or schools.
HPL (High-Pressure Laminate)
High Pressure Laminate consists of laminate faces and moisture-resistant chipboard at its core. This material gets its name from the high-pressure laminating process involved in its production. It is less water-resistant than SGL but retains a high level of durability. Therefore, it is ideal for dry environments such as restaurants or offices.
MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard)
Melamine Faced Chipboard is a chipboard core with decorative faces and matching lipping. It is less dense than HPL, hence, it makes a very cost-effective solution. Whilst MFC holds moisture-resistant properties, it is best suited to dry environments with light to medium traffic such as smaller offices.
