Materials and Construction of Aluminum Sandwich Panels
Our aluminum sandwich panels are crafted with high-quality materials to ensure durability, strength, and versatility. Understanding the core and skin materials, along with the available panel sizes and thicknesses, will help you choose the right product for your application.
Core Material Types
The core material is central to the panel’s insulation, fire resistance, and structural properties. We offer several core options, including:
- Polyurethane (PU) Foam: Lightweight, excellent thermal insulation, and good fire-retardant qualities. Ideal for energy-efficient buildings.
- Polyisocyanurate (PIR) Foam: Similar to PU but with enhanced fire resistance and higher insulation value.
- Rockwool Core: Fire-resistant and sound-insulating, perfect for projects requiring strict fire safety standards. See more details on our rockwool sandwich panels.
- EPS Foam (Expanded Polystyrene): Cost-effective, good thermal insulation, suited for less demanding fire safety requirements.
- Aluminum Honeycomb Core: Offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, used in structural aluminum panels where load-bearing capacity matters.
Aluminum Skin Specifications
The outer and inner layers are made from high-grade aluminum sheets, providing corrosion resistance and a sleek finish. Key features include:
- Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.4 mm to 1.0 mm, depending on panel use.
- Grade: Usually 3003 or 3105 series aluminum alloys, known for their excellent strength and weather resistance.
- Surface Treatment: Options like PVDF or polyester coating improve durability and color retention in outdoor environments.
- Finish Options: Smooth, embossed, or textured finishes meeting different aesthetic requirements.
Panel Thickness and Size Options
Our aluminum core panel producer offers flexible thickness and size options to fit your project specs:
- Thickness Range: From 20 mm up to 200 mm, depending on insulation and structural needs.
- Standard Sizes: Panels are available in widths of 1000 mm and 1200 mm, with lengths adjustable up to 12 meters or more, to minimize joints and speeding up installation.
- Custom Sizes: We provide custom aluminum sandwich panels tailored to your exact dimensions.
Choosing the right combination of core material, skin specification, and panel size is crucial for achieving optimal performance in thermal insulation, fire resistance, and structural integrity. For detailed options on foam-based sandwich panels, visit our PU foam sandwich panels page.
