Anyone looking for affordable HPL sheets in 2026 will find the best value at Kunststof Forte: \u20ac42.35 per m\u00b2 including VAT for a 6 mm white sheet, cut to size. We have compared the prices of the same sheet across four Dutch suppliers: Kunststof Forte, XXL Direct, Kunststofplatenshop and HPL.nl. In this article, you can see the prices side by side, find out where the differences come from, and discover what else to look out for besides the price.<\/p>\n

HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) is a hard, compact sheet that is resistant to UV radiation, moisture and temperature fluctuations. This makes it a popular choice for cladding, fascia boards and dormer windows. As a cladding project can easily cover 20 to 40 m\u00b2, a saving of a few euros per m\u00b2 makes a significant difference to the final bill. You can read more about the material in our article What is HPL?<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cheap HPL sheets by supplier<\/h2>\n

Forte plastic: lowest price per m\u00b2<\/h3>\n

At Kunststof Forte, you pay \u20ac42.35 per m\u00b2 (\u20ac35.00 excluding VAT) for a 6 mm white HPL sheet, cut to size. We supply UniKern\u00ae HPL sheets in six thicknesses and 23 RAL colours, in standard sizes<\/a> or cut to size<\/a>. You can see the price per m\u00b2 straight away and can also request a quote. Are you unsure about the thickness, colour or fixing method? If so, you\u2019ll receive personalised advice from a specialist.<\/p>\n

XXL Direct: special offer price, but still 39% more expensive<\/h3>\n

XXL Direct charges \u20ac58.95 per m\u00b2 for the same sheet, which is already a promotional price with a 20% discount; the recommended retail price is \u20ac73.69 per m\u00b2. Free cutting to size is included, and the online shop offers five colours in this range. For a sheet measuring 2440 x 1220 mm, you\u2019ll pay \u20ac175.49, almost \u20ac50 more than at Kunststof Forte.<\/p>\n

Plastic Sheet Shop: highly rated, but rather pricey<\/h3>\n

Kunststofplatenshop is well-regarded by customers and offers a wide range of products with numerous customisation options, such as drill holes and cut-outs. However, the price is quite steep: \u20ac66.49 per m\u00b2, which is 57% more than at Kunststof Forte. For a 30 m\u00b2 fa\u00e7ade, the difference amounts to over \u20ac720.<\/p>\n

HPL.nl: A premium brand, but more than twice as expensive<\/h3>\n

HPL.nl supplies sheets from Abet Laminati and is by far the most expensive in this comparison: \u20ac100.43 per m\u00b2. Having the sharp edges removed costs an extra \u20ac13.29. Furthermore, HPL.nl has no Google reviews, making it more difficult to gauge in advance what the delivery and service will be like.<\/p>\n

What else should you look out for apart from the price of HPL sheets?<\/h2>\n

The lowest price per m\u00b2 is only good value if the overall figures add up. You should therefore also bear the following points in mind:<\/p>\n
