High Pressure Laminate For Countertops, Surfaces, and Post-Formed Work
The Saviola HPL sheet in GSAB2 Como with a Chandler finish brings a factory-grade decorative surface to the fabrication work that goes beyond what a decorative panel covers. At 73 inches by 120 inches and 0.9 mm thick, this sheet is sized and built for bonding down to substrate, wrapping countertops, surfacing high-wear vertical faces, and completing any run where the panel program needs to continue onto a separate component.
Key Features
- 73 inch by 120 inch sheet size gives fabricators a wide format that handles full-height splashes and long countertop runs without a seam.
- 0.9 mm thickness is the standard HPL caliper for vertical and horizontal surface applications bonded to a substrate.
- Chandler finish delivers the specific texture and sheen of the Como color program, coordinating with matching Saviola panel components.
- GSAB2 Como color is part of the Saviola collection, designed to align with Saviola TFL panels and edgebanding in the same decor.
- High pressure laminate construction produces a surface built to take direct wear, cleaning, and daily contact on exposed horizontal and vertical faces.
Where This Sheet Fits the Job
HPL earns its place on surfaces that take real use: countertops, desk surfaces, reception tops, high-traffic shelving faces, and post-formed components. The Saviola program exists specifically so shops can carry one color from the cabinet box all the way through to the work surface and any applied panel work, without a color break. GSAB2 Como is the decor that ties those components together. The 73-inch width is the wider of the two Saviola HPL sheet sizes stocked, and it is the right choice for runs where a narrower sheet would force an unnecessary joint on a continuous horizontal surface.
Construction and Surface Character
High pressure laminate is manufactured as a separate sheet, consolidated from kraft paper layers and a decorative surface paper under high pressure, then bonded to substrate by the fabricator. That manufacturing route is what separates it from a thermally fused panel face: the sheet is its own product, handled and bonded independently, and its wear performance reflects that extra material depth. The Chandler finish gives Como its particular surface character, and because the finish is consistent sheet to sheet, a countertop and a vertical panel face in the same room read as one material. Bond to a stable substrate following the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations; edge treatment and post-forming work should account for the 0.9 mm caliper when selecting tooling and banding.
Who Orders This Sheet
Cabinet shops building kitchen and bath projects where the countertop spec matches the box finish reach for a sheet like this to close the color story. Commercial millwork fabricators use it on reception desks, workstations, and retail fixtures where a finished surface needs to survive daily contact. Designers specifying a Saviola color through a project can carry that decor onto surfaces the decorative panel does not reach. The 73-inch by 120-inch format suits production shops that can process a full-width sheet; smaller shops that cannot handle the wider format should look at the 60-inch by 120-inch Saviola HPL alternative instead.
Is there a matching edgebanding for GSAB2 Como?
Yes. The Saviola collection includes matching ABS edgebanding in the same decor. Confirm the width and roll length that fits your panel thickness and shop setup when ordering.
Does this sheet come in a 60-inch width as well?
Saviola HPL is stocked in both 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch. If your shop cannot process the wider sheet, the 60-inch option covers the same color and finish in a more manageable format.
What substrate should I bond this to?
Standard practice for 0.9 mm HPL is to bond it to particleboard or MDF using a contact cement or urea-based adhesive. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's open time and pressing instructions; a balanced construction with a backer sheet on the reverse face of the substrate helps keep the panel flat.
Can this sheet be post-formed?
Post-forming suitability depends on the specific laminate grade. Confirm with the technical data for this product before specifying a post-formed edge, as not all 0.9 mm HPL sheets are formulated for tight radius bending.
A Complete Surface in One Color
Saviola HPL in GSAB2 Como lets a project carry one decor from the cabinet face to the work surface, with nothing left unfinished. The Chandler finish and the 73-inch sheet give fabricators the format and the surface character to close out a job cleanly.
