Choose the Right Material: HPL vs SGL Duct Panels
Choosing the right material for your IPS duct panels depends on how your washroom will be used, particularly regarding expected traffic levels and likely moisture exposure. We supply our bespoke IPS panels in both high pressure laminate (HPL) and solid grade laminate (SGL) configurations, and they each offer distinct benefits depending on their intended environment.
This table outlines the key differences to help you select the most appropriate option for your washrooms, and you can learn more about SGL and HPL duct panels from our blog post.
| Material | Best For | Thickness | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| HPL | General washrooms with low-to-medium traffic levels and minimal moisture exposure | 18mm | Cost-effective solution for low to medium-use areas, offering a durable, impact-resistant finish with a thicker core and multiple edge options. |
| SGL | Higher-moisture areas, showers, high-traffic washrooms, high-impact areas | 13mm | Fully waterproof, solid core panels for high-traffic and high-moisture environments, with polished and radiused edges. Suitable for showers. |

IPS Duct Panels FAQs
IPS duct panels are wall panels specially designed to hide plumbing services such as pipework and cisterns in modern washrooms, while still allowing easy access for maintenance. They provide a clean, hygienic and easy-to-maintain finish, helping create tidy, well-designed washrooms.

Yes, it’s a key part of the system, and they are designed with maintenance access in mind. Panels can be supplied with concealed lift-off or push-in access options, with hinged or lockable panels available where required.
In short, HPL (high pressure laminate) is best suited to low-to-medium traffic, drier environments, while SGL (solid grade laminate) is a solid, waterproof material designed for high-traffic and high-moisture areas such as wet rooms and showers.
This is our speciality, manufacturing bespoke panels to suit your exact layout and washroom dimensions. Panels can be produced in full height, cubicle height, half-height or any custom configuration you require, ensuring a precise fit for your finished washroom.
Especially so. SGL duct panels feature a solid, waterproof core, making them suitable for wet environments such as showers and changing areas. Their durability and moisture resistance make them a practical choice for high-use washrooms.

Pre-framed systems are supplied with panels already clipped onto a purpose-built frame. On site, the panels are unclipped, the frame is fixed into position, and the panels are then clipped back on. This ensures everything is made to measure, fits correctly and helps reduce installation time on site. Site-framed options are supplied to suit existing on-site framing, making them a practical choice for refurbishment projects.
