In UK projects, the same look pairs well with laminate worktops for tidy, practical runs.

Specifying, planning, and smooth handover

Good outcomes start with one shared playbook. Align substrates, balancing, and edges before drawings using our interior HPL guidance. Fix panel direction on elevations. Map joints to real features—door heads, window lines, and datum bands—rather than a default grid. Keep reveal sizes consistent across each run. Align handle centres with those reveals so shadow lines stay neat and edges remain sharp.

Keep install notes and care steps together for every site. The latest PDFs live in Resources & Downloads for easy handover.

Lighting and palette that flatter the tone

Lighting decides whether walnut reads flat or architectural. Use broad, soft ambient light for even planes. Add low-glare accents at reveals and handles to sharpen edges without hotspots. Build a small sample board under the actual luminaires and take a quick photo; this check confirms tone and shadow lines before you order. Keep the palette compact: one timber, one metal, a few soft textures, and clear glazing usually suffice.

If exterior conversations appear during planning, keep them educational and separate from interiors. Our exterior HPL overview is a neutral primer. For a plain-English background on ventilation logic, this NBS rainscreen overview explains the concept without brand claims.
