Gessato-Textured HPL for Countertops and High-Wear Surfaces
The Saviola High Pressure Laminate in Moca (GSP20) delivers a separately manufactured HPL sheet ready to bond to your substrate of choice. At 73 inches by 120 inches and 0.9 mm thick, this sheet extends the Saviola color program to countertops, post-formed edges, and high-wear vertical work that a TFL panel cannot cover on its own. The Gessato finish adds a fine, tactile surface texture that coordinates with Saviola decorative panels in the same decor.
Key Features
- Gessato surface texture provides a fine, tactile emboss that reads consistently under flat and raking light.
- 73 inch by 120 inch sheet size covers large runs and wide countertop spans without a seam.
- 0.9 mm thickness suits post-forming, vertical surface work, and countertop bonding.
- High pressure laminate construction is a separately manufactured sheet bonded by the fabricator, not a board-integral TFL face.
- Moca colorway (GSP20) coordinates with Saviola TFL panels in the same color for a consistent room finish.
- Saviola collection from SALT International, a program designed around coordinated panels, HPL, and matching ABS edgebanding.
Where This Sheet Fits the Job
HPL is the right call wherever the job demands a surface the TFL panel itself cannot reach. A countertop that sees daily abrasion, a post-formed edge that wraps a radius, a high-traffic vertical panel in a retail fixture or commercial interior — these are the surfaces HPL exists for. The 73-inch width means a standard 24-inch-deep countertop runs lengthwise with room to spare, and the 120-inch length carries a single-slab run across most residential and light-commercial cabinet layouts without a seam. The Gessato texture makes scuffs and light scratches less visible on a busy work surface than a mirror gloss would, and it pairs cleanly with Saviola panel faces at a shared joint or reveal.
Material and Surface Construction
High pressure laminate is built from kraft paper layers and a decorative surface paper consolidated under high pressure into a rigid sheet. That process produces a face harder and more impact-resistant than a thermally fused laminate, which is why it handles countertop and high-wear work that TFL is not specified for. The Gessato finish is a fine grid texture pressed into the face — enough relief to feel under the hand and to scatter light at a low angle, without the deep wood-pore structure of an embossed-in-register wood decor. The sheet arrives ready for your adhesive and substrate of choice.
Who Orders This Sheet
Cabinet shops building coordinated Saviola interiors order this sheet alongside the matching TFL panels to carry the Moca color onto a countertop or a high-wear door face without a visible material change at the joint. Commercial millwork shops specify it for reception counters, retail fixtures, and food-service casework where the surface takes repeated contact. Designers specifying the full Saviola Moca program reach for this sheet when the finish schedule calls for a continuous color across both panel and horizontal surfaces. The wide 73-by-120 sheet means fewer pieces in a large layout and a simpler cut list.
What is the difference between this HPL sheet and a Saviola TFL panel in the same color?
A TFL panel has the decorative face fused directly to the board at the factory — it arrives as a finished panel you cut and band. This HPL sheet is a separate product you bond to your own substrate using adhesive. HPL is harder and more wear-resistant at the face, which is why it is specified for countertops and high-traffic surfaces. The two products coordinate in color so a Saviola job can use TFL for the cabinet box and HPL for the top.
Is matching ABS edgebanding available for GSP20 Moca?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding is available in the Saviola collection for the Moca color. Confirm the width you need against your panel thickness before ordering.
Can this sheet be post-formed?
At 0.9 mm, this is a standard post-forming thickness. Confirm your specific radius and substrate setup with your laminate supplier, as post-forming performance depends on the forming temperature, the substrate, and the radius.
Does the Saviola HPL ship in any other size?
Yes. Saviola HPL is also stocked in a 60 inch by 120 inch sheet. If your shop cannot process a 73-inch sheet or your cut list fits the narrower size, the 60-inch sheet is the right order.
One Color, Every Surface
Specifying a single color across panels, countertops, and high-wear faces is straightforward when the HPL, the TFL panels, and the edgebanding all come from the same collection. The Saviola Moca program makes that coordination possible without compromise at any joint.
