HPL Phenolic

Fiber Cement Rainscreen Panels
Preferred Partners: 

Material Overview:

HPL (High Pressure Laminates) are highly durable exterior wall cladding products that are available in a diverse range of decors to create a contemporary, cost effective rainscreen façade.  HPL panel manufacturers have a large range of colors and patterns to select from, and can offer either printed images or actual wood grains.

Design Considerations:

HPL is produced in sheets and fabricated to finished panel sizes.  The designer has the ability to create varying degrees of patterns and panel shapes on the building - often using numerous colors to create intrigue and a creative design aesthetic. Off–fall of material is a design and fabrication consideration, so as to maximize the panel’s yield.  Both concealed and exposed color-matched rivet systems are available.

PECO Energy's Oregon Maintenance Shop – Philadelphia, PA

The corporate identity of PECO Energy's Oregon Maintenance Shop was embraced with bold blue and grey panels, truly highlighting a strong appearance. This prominent structure represents a hand-in-hand association with industry and design. 22,000 square foot HPL rainscreen was used and an ECO Cladding Vci.10 subframing system for the re-clad.
