- What if I can’t find a product on your website?
You can use the search function to look up product names and codes.

- What samples do you send?
Our samples are 300 x 200 mm in size as standard. We have different types of sample, depending on the design. If you cannot find a certain type of sample, unfortunately, we do not offer it.
For designs, we offer:
- Melamine (melamined chipboard, 10 mm thick);
- HPL;
- Edging tape (used for finishing edges);
- End-grain edging tape (used for finishing the ends of panels for a more authentic look);
- Clicwall (melamined MDF with a click connection that can be used as a wall).
- What is the difference between a melamine and HPL sample?
A melamine sample is a laminated standard 10 mm thick P2 chipboard. This is thicker and heavier compared to an HPL sample.
HPL consists of several layers of paper pressed together, making it only 0.7 mm thick and significantly lighter.
Our designs are identical on both melamine and HPL. If you would like a sample to assess color or texture, we recommend ordering an HPL sample. It is much more compact and easier to send.
- I can’t order a sample of a product or design.
If a specific product or design does not have a "request free sample" button, it means that we do not offer samples for that particular item.
