Arpa UK Ltd

Since 1954, Arpa has been designing and producing panels with high-quality HPL technology for the most varied end uses: from architecture to interior design, from health care to naval shipbuilding, from transportation to hospitality, from retail to kitchens. A vast range of products, extremely diversified in both structure and aesthetic.

Arpa’s decorative high pressure laminates are produced in the 150,000-square-metre plant in Bra, in the Piedmont area of Italy, and are expressions of a lively and original “Made in Italy” creativity.

More than 60 years of investment in research, advanced technology and personnel training have allowed the company to achieve a position of primary importance and a reputation for great reliability in international markets; a trade characterised by competent staff, varied and excellent offerings, production flexibility and fast service.

Arpa is also the manufacturer of FENIX, the innovative materials which has revolutionised the world of interior design. FENIX is not only beautiful to look at but, most importantly, it is a high-tech material, made unique by it's characteristics.

FENIX has these characteristics by undergoing a particular series of processes, including a multilayer coating and the use of next-generation acrylic resins, which are hardened and fixed through an  Electron Beam Curing process. With low light reflectivity, the surface is extremely opaque, soft touch and anti-fingerprint. 

FENIX materials are highly resistant to scratches, abrasion, dry heat, acid-based solvents and household reagents. Thermal healing of superficial micro-scratches is also possible. FENIX surfaces have a unique non-porous external layer, allowing the material to stay neat with simple, everyday care and cleaning methods. It is also suitable for contact with food.
