HPP – Food-for-thought swaps that save money – and much more
‘ S
imple Swaps’ is a campaign to raise awareness of the endless possibilities available with products made by Egger, which has garnered the support of Hill’s Panel Products (HPP).
The board, doors and fittings supplier and manufacturer has been selling Egger for more than 30 years from its base in Oldham and Sheffield trade counter.
HPP is an Egger Diamond Distributor and is the only one to offer trade customers the unique service of processing full panel sheets from the entire Egger Decorative Collection into made-to- measure doors or cut-to-specification orders. The Simple Swaps food-for-thought campaign is inspiring designers, architects and craftsmen to consider more than just cost on the projects they are working on.
For example, a solid timber surface is around 200% more expensive than a synchronised pore woodgrain melamine faced chipboard (MFC) surface. But as well as a reduced price tag, MFC comes with added performance benefits such as being light-fast, stable, resistant to scratches and stains, and requiring no ongoing maintenance. Dan Mounsey, HPP’s Marketing and Business Development Director, says: “We think it is a great idea and an excellent campaign to get our customers thinking in a way they can illustrate more than just cost-saving benefits to their clients. “We should all remember not to dismiss the power of material and woodgrain reproductions.

More often than not, they outperform the original material in terms of durability and maintenance and can be a more sustainable choice.”
Here are some food-for-thought swaps, all involving Egger products courtesy of HPP:
• Solid timber for Feelwood melamine faced chipboard (MFC).
• Real wood veneer for ST19 MFC, which is not vulnerable to fading in sunlight, maintaining its colour over time.
• Painted timber for Texture Meets Colour MFC - remove 100% of labour intensive painting and repainting costs.
• Solid oak worktops for 38mm square edge Feelwood worktops - no ongoing maintenance after install, removing 100% of costly retreating requirements.
• Solid surface worktops for 25mm square edge worktops - unbranded solid stone can be in excess of 1100% more costly than Egger’s 25 mm worktops, which are lightfast, stable, and antibacterial as standard.
• Glass for PerfectSense® Premium Gloss - PerfectSense Premium Matt offers high material cost savings and removes 100% of costly specialist requirements.
Another important factor in cutting costs is time. Look for high-quality products that are easy to work with and come in optimised sheet and pack sizes.
HPP offers an Egger Optima service via its dedicated Egger Optima range page on its website: It features a specifically created custom door builder for the Egger Optima frontages to make quoting instant and ordering simple.
