Hi - anyone have issues w/ HPL compartments delaminating in high humidity areas? I see that ASI/Global has a proprietary "Moisture Guard" that supposedly helps with this issue, but not sure if any other companies offer something similar? |

Robin,
I never had that problem. Countertops tend to be "high humidity" and seldom have delamination problems.
For something like a shower room, where there is frequently a high-humidity condition, I would specify solid plastic material, (e.g. phenolic).

I do not specify HPL toilet compartments. I have seen too many that do not hold up to everyday use. We stick to phenolic, stainless steel, or HDPE plastic, in that order of preference.
