1. What is an Exterior Compact Laminate Board?

An Exterior Compact Laminate Board is a high-pressure laminate (HPL) panel specifically engineered for exterior cladding and façade applications. It is manufactured with multiple layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin, forming a dense, weather-resistant core and a decorative, UV-stable surface suitable for long-term outdoor use.

2. Is Exterior Compact Laminate Suitable for Outdoor Cladding?

Yes. Exterior compact laminate boards are designed for permanent outdoor exposure. They offer excellent waterproof performance, UV resistance, temperature stability, and impact resistance, making them ideal for exterior wall cladding, ventilated façades, balconies, and architectural envelope systems.

---

3. Are Exterior HPL Cladding Panels Waterproof?

Absolutely. The phenolic resin core makes exterior HPL panels 100% waterproof, preventing swelling, delamination, or moisture absorption even in humid, rainy, or coastal environments. This ensures consistent performance for exterior wall systems.
