How To Choose Honeycomb Panels For Stone Substrate?

Aluminum honeycomb panels and fiberglass honeycomb panels are two popular types of honeycomb panels commonly used in composite stone materials. There are several differences between them that should be taken into consideration when choosing the right honeycomb panel for a specific project.

Aluminum honeycomb panels are made of two aluminum plates bonded together by a honeycomb core. The honeycomb core is made of aluminum foil layers expanded into a honeycomb shape. This type of honeycomb panel is strong, lightweight, and easy to install. It is resistant to corrosion, fire, and moisture. Aluminum honeycomb panels are commonly used for exterior cladding, curtain walls, and ceilings.

Fiberglass honeycomb panels are made of two fiberglass laminates bonded together by a honeycomb core. Fiberglass honeycomb panels are commonly used for interior wall panels, partitions, and furniture.

On the other hand, to reduce the bending by temperature changes, one side fiberglass and the other side aluminum as a combination are more and more considered for exterior wall panels for stone substrate.
