Inside the panel

You define the surface. The support lies within.

Stainless steel faces

Aluminum faces

Low face-sheet weight with project-specific coatings and colors. Alloy, finish and thickness are selected together.

Explore aluminum finishes

Thickness options for different panel sizes.

Multiple thicknesses are available. With other construction details comparable, a thicker honeycomb core generally increases bending stiffness. Load capacity also depends on panel size, supports and loading.

Compare color, texture and gloss in the Material Library, then coordinate the finish with your panel dimensions.

Confirm finish availability and fabrication size together; not every finish is available at the maximum panel size.

Compared with solid metal sheets

Balance stiffness and weight through structure.

Stiffness and weight

Uses sandwich depth for efficient bending stiffness.

Solid metal sheetUses sheet thickness or added stiffeners

Support across the surface

The core supports the face sheet across the panel.

Solid metal sheetDepends on sheet thickness and backing layout

Panel layout

Creates more possibilities for larger panel modules.

Solid metal sheetCoordinated with sheet thickness and supports

Backing construction

Allows stiffening to be optimized with the composite build-up.

Solid metal sheetAdditional stiffeners are fitted where needed

Compare panels at the same size, stiffness target, loading and support conditions. A complete honeycomb panel is not necessarily lighter than a thin single sheet.

Sound insulation

Coordinate panel construction, joint sealing and backing to limit sound transmission.

Thermal insulation

Develop the insulation layer and connection details as part of the complete assembly.

Sound insulation and sound absorption are different. Confirm acoustic and thermal performance against the complete project build-up and test evidence.

Applications

From facades and ceilings to more product forms.

01 / Ceilings

Metal honeycomb ceilings

From entrance halls to meeting spaces, consider the whole ceiling: broad panel surfaces, joint rhythm, lighting and service openings.

02 / Wall applications

Bring continuity to walls and facades.

Curtain walls · Recommended

Explore the scale, reflections and joints of metal wall surfaces. Curtain-wall cladding is a recommended honeycomb-panel application; coordinate supports and edge details with the design.

FAQ / Common questions

Before ordering, clarify the size and construction.

Face materials, panel dimensions and construction, considered together.

How large can stainless steel-faced honeycomb panels be?

Standard widths: 1000 / 1219 / 1500 mm
Maximum length: ≤ 8000 mm

Confirm finished dimensions against the selected finish and fabrication requirements.

How large can aluminum-faced honeycomb panels be?

Maximum width: ≤ 2000 mm
Maximum length: ≤ 8000 mm

Made to project dimensions.

Which face materials are available?

The face sheet can be stainless steel or aluminum. Grade, finish and thickness are coordinated around the design.

Where can the panels be used?

Recommended for curtain-wall cladding; also suitable for metal honeycomb ceilings, column cladding, door surrounds, door leaves, cabinet fronts and cabinet backing panels. Final panel sizes depend on loading, supports, connections, transport and installation.

Can the panels help with sound and thermal insulation?

Seals, backing and insulation layers can be coordinated to improve the complete assembly. Acoustic and thermal performance depend on the project build-up and test evidence. Sound insulation does not mean sound absorption.

How is panel thickness selected?

Multiple thicknesses are available. With other conditions comparable, a thicker honeycomb core generally improves bending stiffness. Select the build-up around panel size, supports and loading; thickness alone does not determine load capacity.
