Construction
Sandwich panel provides a lightweight structural solution that possesses superior structural and tensile strength allowing for diversity in design and a vast array of industrial and commercial applications.
It is used largely for interior and exterior structures and is fast becoming the material of choice for architects and designers; is used in the design of architectural products such as fascia, cladding, canopies, entryways, and column covers. Also used extensively in the retail market for such diverse applications as store fixtures for food service merchandisers, ATM Kiosks, and signage.
Flat or contoured design and varying thickness and rigidity of honeycomb core panels allows for many applications. Where end presentation is important, panel aesthetics are taken into consideration of the final product while not compromising on superior composition and high compressive strength
It possesses a higher strength-to-weight ratio than traditional materials allowing better economy, greater load capacity, and increased efficiency. In addition, composites possess dynamic rigidity and can withstand extreme wear and tear due to loading stresses and mechanical strain. Flawless surface workability resulting from innovative composition provides advanced structural integrity and the strength to carry both light and heavy loads. Different materials can be used to provide varying dynamics and strength to weight ratios according to design specifications.
Elastic stiffness refers to a panel’s resistance to deflection. By varying composition and thickness, structural stress, and damage due to deflection are minimized. Sandwich panels are uniformly bonded, so the structure is proportionally stable in intense or unpredictable environmental conditions.
