2. Material Comparison
The main components of stainless steel honeycomb panels are stainless steel and aluminum. The following will compare the material differences between stainless steel honeycomb panels, aluminum honeycomb panels, and stainless steel boards.
a. Comparison with aluminum honeycomb panels
① Composition
Stainless steel honeycomb panel: The panel is mainly made of high-quality stainless steel plate as the base material.
Aluminum honeycomb panel: The panel is mainly made of high-quality alloy aluminum plate or high manganese alloy aluminum plate as the base material.
② Features:
Stainless steel honeycomb panels: Compared with other metal honeycomb panels, stainless steel honeycomb panels have stronger plate strength and corrosion resistance, and the material itself has a unique metallic luster, which is more durable. It is not as diverse as aluminum honeycomb panels in the richness of color and texture.
Aluminum honeycomb panel:
The strength of the plate is worse than the stainless steel honeycomb panel. At the same time, after long-term sun and rain or industrial waste gas pollution, the surface oil, dirt and naturally formed loose oxide layer will seriously affect the surface decoration effect of aluminum honeycomb panels, and the durability is slightly poor. But the sheet colors, textures, and patterns are more diverse.
③Application
Stainless steel honeycomb panels: decoration of building curtain walls, roofs, large and medium-sized storefront billboards, internal and external walls, ceilings, etc. It is suitable for functional areas that require higher sheet strength and corrosion resistance.
Aluminum honeycomb panel: suitable for civil construction, vehicle, and ship decoration, etc. It is the application of aviation and aerospace materials in the field of civil construction. Compared with stainless steel honeycomb panels, its price is relatively low.
b. Comparison with stainless steel board
① Composition
Stainless steel honeycomb panel: It is composed of multi-layer metal plates.
Stainless steel board: It consists of a single-layer stainless steel plate.
②Features
Stainless steel honeycomb panel: lightweight, has high flatness, and has certain thermal insulation and sound insulation properties. High impact strength, stronger stability, not easy to deform, and strong durability.
Stainless steel board: The weight is large, and the board needs to achieve higher flatness and requires higher technical requirements. At the same time, its durability is worse than stainless steel honeycomb panels, and it is more prone to unstable deformation or thermal expansion and contraction.
③Application
Stainless steel honeycomb panel: It is not easy to bend or arc processing, so the applicable architectural or indoor modeling effect is limited, but the size of the plate can be large, and the maximum plate area can reach 9 square meters (commonly 1500mm×6000mm).
Stainless steel board: It can achieve more architectural appearance or interior design effects. It is easy to do bending or arc bending processing, which is not easy to achieve with stainless steel honeycomb panels. The size of the board is limited, usually, the board area is not more than 1 square meter.
0.3.Construction technology of stainless steel honeycomb panel
In interior decoration, stainless steel honeycomb panels are most commonly used in ceilings, and the construction process of the ceiling is generally similar to other metal sheets.
The specific construction process is as follows:
Construction preparation → measurement and layout → installation of structural skeleton → installation of stainless steel honeycomb panel → leveling acceptance → cleaning.
1. Construction preparation
① According to the design requirements of existing texts, drawings, etc., the processing, compounding, and detailed design of stainless steel honeycomb panels are carried out.
② Clean up the site to ensure a good and safe construction environment. At the same time, confirm whether the pipeline reservation of water, electricity, and equipment has been basically completed and meets the design requirements.
③ Prepare the required plates, accessories, installation tools, etc., and check whether they are complete and flawless.
2. Measure and put the line
Due to the large allowable error in civil construction, and the high precision required for stainless steel honeycomb panel engineering, it is necessary to re-measure according to the reference axis and benchmarking point. At the same time, according to the design drawings, the level line pops up on the wall column surface, and the ceiling level line and the keel position line pop up at the bottom of the floor.

3. Install the structural skeleton
Drill holes at the position of the boom, and after determining the elevation of the lower end of the boom, install the pre-fabricated boom. The boom installation is fixed on the ceiling floor with Pa expansion bolts, and then the main keel is connected with the hanging bars with the hanging pieces. After that, the installation and fixing of the side keel, the secondary keel, etc. are completed in turn.
4. Install stainless steel honeycomb panels
The angle steel hanger is connected with the secondary keel with bolts, and the stainless steel honeycomb panel is matched with the keel hanger and then connected with the angle steel hanger bolt. When installing, a reference line should be drawn in the middle position perpendicular to the direction of the secondary keel, and the stainless steel honeycomb panels can be aligned and installed.
5. Leveling acceptance
Panel leveling is the last key process of ceiling installation. Its construction quality determines the appearance of the entire ceiling. It is necessary to carefully level the panel and the panel. After leveling, tighten all connections until acceptance is reached. Require.
6. Cleaning
After the installation is completed, the work platform should be removed and the construction site should be cleaned.
