Also known as Rigid Thermofoils are membrane pressed or vacuum formed to contoured surface. This eliminates the need for T-Molding, Edge banding or special edge treatments. Rigid Thermofoil countertops shall be 1-1/8 inch thick nominal and shall have an HPL, neutral laminate on the back and Rigid Thermo-foil on the face of the panel for balanced construction. Rigid Thermofoil worktops shall be fabricated from panels consisting of a sandwich of HPL on the back and Rigid Thermofoil on the top, thermally fused to a MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) core, then precision CNC machined for hardware.
HPL countertops shall have a matching color standard High Pressure Laminate backer sheet on the bottom of the countertop for balanced construction. Countertop edging shall be three (3) mm solid, high impact, rigid, acid resistant PVC, machine applied with moisture resistant polyurethane adhesive and automatically trimmed, buffed and corner radiussed. HPL countertops shall be 1 1/8 inch thick nominal and consist of wood particle composite panels.
