PRODUCT INFORMATION
1.2 Storage
DUROPAL HPL must be protected against damp and should be kept in storage areas
with normal climatic conditions. Stacks of panels should be stored horizontally - or
inclined at an angle of 80°, in which case care should be taken to ensure that the panels
are supported over the entire surface, and prevented from slipping by a counterweight
on the ground. The panels should always be placed with the décor sides facing each
other. Please follow the acclimatisation instructions before use – see “Preliminary treatment”!
1.3 Storage of DUrOPAL real metal laminates
The panels should ideally be stored in closed rooms under normal interior room conditions (temperature
18–25 °C, relative air humidity 50–65 %). The panels must always be stored horizontally, with the edges
flush, on a level surface, and be covered with plastic film. Where this is not possible, the panels should be
inclined at an angle of 80°, in which case care should be taken to ensure that the panels are supported
over the entire surface, and prevented from slipping by a counterweight on the ground. The top panel must
be completely covered by a cover board.
DUROPAL real metal laminates are supplied with a laminated film which is heat-resistant up to
80 °C. This protective film should be removed after six months at the latest, otherwise damage
may occur to the metal surface.
1.4 Storage of DUrOPAL HPL elements
Store on a dry, level surface under normal climatic conditions wherever possible, e.g. in a warehouse, so
that the Duropal HPL elements are not exposed to the direct effects of water or moisture. Avoid exposure to
direct sunlight.
