With over 25 years of experience in the sale of architectural products and materials, including over 15 years at Abet Laminati, Yannick has closely with the design and architecture community as well as with manufacturers, fabricators, and installers.
This presentation intends at first to enlighten about the endless possibilities of high-pressure laminate and its impressive qualities in terms of performances.
During the presentation, we will discuss:
- Abet Laminati - Exterior-Grade Phenolic (EGP)

- A myriad of applications (Some surprising)
- The differences between thin laminates and thick compact laminate.
- Type of laminate - Interior vs Exterior
A larger portion of this presentation will be focusing on exterior-grade phenolic (EGP) and as we hope to communicate how and why this material is one of the great choices for exterior cladding, we will be discussing the followings.
- The origin of the rain screen system.
- How rain screen cladding systems works.
- How it reduces moisture penetration into the building's envelope.
- Testing and performances
- Combustibility VS Building code
