3.Machining and processing HPL
With regard to the subsequent use, it must be taken into account that HPL- Compact slightly changes in dimension when the climate changes. The change in length of the sheets is only half of the change in width. Known fastening and connection methods (e. g. continuous or concealed profiles, tongue and groove, screws) can be used for HPL-Compact. In areas with moisture influence, corrosion-resistant fastening materials have to be used. If bonding to carrier materials becomes necessary for structural reasons, the principles of the General recommendations for working with HPL have to be observed.
