Here at KC Panels, we manufacture honeycomb fiberglass panels using reliable adhesives from reputable suppliers, delivering versatile materials that you can use as they are or as backing to laminate a stone panel.

Being durable and lightweight, honeycomb fiberglass panels last longer and don’t require excessive maintenance. Moreover, they can withstand extreme weather and high temperatures without failing. This is due to fiberglass’s low coefficient of thermal expansion, adding to its durability, which can translate to less frequent replacements. These features make them more environmentally friendly than traditional materials.

If you’re worried about your project’s environmental impact, KC Panels has your back. We offer fiberglass honeycomb panels to improve your building’s sustainability, energy efficiency, and longevity. Read on to understand how honeycomb fiberglass can make your project more eco-friendly.

It’s the composition

Here at KC Panels, we offer two options when it comes to fiberglass honeycomb panels:

• Double fiberglass honeycomb panels feature two layers of fiberglass sheets on either side of a lightweight aluminum honeycomb core.
• Fiberglass and aluminum honeycomb panels combine a single layer of fiberglass with an aluminum sheet, sandwiching the aluminum honeycomb core.

Fiberglass has the same thermal conductivity as natural stone, making it ideal for exterior cladding. When used as backing for stone veneer panels, fiberglass keeps up with rapid temperature changes and moves with the stone in a similar range. This prevents excessive bowing and damage.

Fiberglass honeycomb panels are better for the environment because they don’t burn or rot like wood and emit greenhouse gasses. They rarely require replacing, reducing your carbon footprint associated with maintenance efforts and waste. Additionally, they are often sourced through ecologically sound quarrying to minimize their impact on habitats and communities.

An energy-efficient and sustainable solution

Fiberglass is a known sustainable, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly material. Its manufacturing process involves very low embodied energy. Plus, it typically doesn’t require extra treatments to reinforce it. With fiberglass honeycomb panels, you can reduce the weight and bulk of materials on exterior cladding. And because they are lighter than traditional materials, they help reduce transportation costs.

Effective insulation

Do you want to reduce energy consumption to save on heating or cooling bills? Fiberglass honeycomb panels can help with that. Fiberglass is an ENERGY STAR material that can contribute to Green Globe and LEED ratings. It’s often used in insulation applications because it effectively insulates against cold and heat.

A long-lasting product

At KC Panels, we use a modified epoxy adhesive to bond all layers of honeycomb fiberglass panels and create one whole panel. That makes them different from the older versions in the market.

Previously, manufacturers applied resin on fiberglass sheets to create the necessary layer. However, this created an issue with the resin becoming the panel’s weak point. During flatwise tensile strength tests, it fails at just 1.2 MPa. This is not ideal for any structure, especially when the panels are used for exterior cladding.

Our new-generation honeycomb fiberglass panels use stronger modified epoxy that improves their tensile strength to 2.5 MPa. That makes our products two times stronger and longer-lasting than panels bonded with resin.

How strong are honeycomb fiberglass panels?

Knowing the strength of fiberglass honeycomb panels can help you understand their potential to last long and how sustainable they can be. In terms of mechanical properties, our panels have a tensile strength of 2.5 MPa if we use fiberglass on both sides. On the other hand, this tensile strength is slightly reduced to 2.0 Mpa when we use aluminum on one side and only one fiberglass on the other. That said, both configurations have a compressive strength of 2 Mpa. This indicates good load-bearing for most applications.

Additionally, our honeycomb fiberglass panels have 1.5 Mpa of shear strength. This ensures sufficient resistance to lateral forces, ensuring a stable and durable material that can withstand the most demanding applications.

Drum peeling strength is another consideration, especially on panels with one aluminum side. Our panels have a drum peeling strength of 60 N.mm/mm, ensuring reliable resistance to delamination forces. This specification does not apply to double-sided fiberglass panels. Both configurations show 60 Mpa of flexural strength, proving their ability to resist deformation and bending under different loads.

Less waste

Our fiberglass honeycomb panels are undoubtedly durable and will last for many decades. This means they produce less waste that ends up in landfills. Plus, they maintain their high-strength properties and corrosion resistance, even when exposed to extreme temperature changes for years.

At KC Panels, we supply honeycomb fiberglass panels according to your unique specifications. This helps prevent further waste and ensures each panel is ready to use for your application. We customize dimensions up to 6,000mm long and 2,000mm wide. Additionally, we can make the panels 10mm to 500mm thick, offering flexibility for various applications.

When it comes to surface finishing, we make sure the fiberglass honeycomb panels are completed according to your application. The fiberglass side is rough to enhance bonding with the stone veneer. Meanwhile, the aluminum side has an anti-corrosion coating for durability.

A versatile material

Using honeycomb fiberglass panels eliminates the need for traditional materials, resulting in savings and reduced waste. Here are some of the ways our customers use our fiberglass honeycomb panels:

• Transportation:

  The lightweight nature of fiberglass honeycomb helps reduce fuel consumption in commercial vehicles, buses, and high-speed trains. Moreover, a durable and long-lasting material helps minimize the maintenance costs of these vehicles.

• Marine:

  Honeycomb fiberglass panels are invaluable in marine applications because of their natural resistance to moisture and corrosion. They won’t succumb to the harsh conditions at sea, making them ideal for offshore platforms, yachts, and commercial ships.

• Construction:

  Besides external cladding, fiberglass honeycomb can be used as partition walls, ceilings, or sub-floors. Its low weight and outstanding stiffness reduce construction times and labor costs during installation.

• Labs and clean rooms: 

  Fiberglass honeycomb panels are easy to disinfect and clean, thanks to their non-porous and clean surfaces. That makes them ideal for specialized environments, such as laboratories and clean rooms. Plus, their acoustic and thermal insulation contributes to the controlled conditions required in these spaces.

We also offer complete customization to any geometry, including sheets with 90-degree bends and curves.

Let’s take a closer look at the various treatments we offer and their common applications:

• Polyethylene

  Polyethylene (PE) paint transforms the honeycomb aluminum sheet into a decorative panel for interior applications, such as ceilings, partitions, furniture, and decoration. Compared to other coatings, PE is relatively more affordable but ensures a long-lasting coating, as it keeps oxidation at bay. With our guaranteed bonding, interior designers don’t have to worry about the panels coming apart or deteriorating.

• Epoxy coating or anodizing

  Anodizing aluminum honeycomb panels helps prevent oxidation, making it necessary for the invisible side of a veneer sheet. Alternatively, we can treat the panel with epoxy coating for applications that require long-lasting, anti-corrosion, and high-performance glue bonding. This improves the honeycomb core’s pull strength, making it over 2.0 MPa. We recommend these treatments for applications requiring a honeycomb aluminum sheet as a backing panel with another material layer for lamination on top, such as wood veneer, natural stone, or porcelain.

• Mill finish

  Some interior designs require lightweight substrate materials laminated with ceramic, natural stone, wood veneer, sintered stone, or porcelain. We make this possible by applying a mill finish to both layers of the honeycomb aluminum sheet. It’s an economical solution for creating low-weight, weather-resistant, and elastic panels that can withstand temperatures from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius.

• Heat transfer printing

  Heat transfer technology allows us to customize a honeycomb aluminum sheet with various patterns, including stone veins and wood grain. It eliminates the need for natural materials for a more environmentally friendly interior design. Plus, it’s suitable for interior and exterior use, allowing designers to create a more consistent aesthetic. At KC Panels, we offer a wide range of customizable patterns to deliver any design that meets the project’s aesthetic requirements.

• Galvanized steel

  Does your interior design project require better fire performance? We can use galvanized steel instead of aluminum sheets. In addition, this creates a unique surface finish, which we can customize further via etching, sanding, and others. We also offer other finishes for unique looks, such as hairline, mirror, and other colors. We can create a versatile panel for interior and exterior applications by laminating steel sheets with an aluminum honeycomb core.

Ensuring reliability

At KC Panels, we carefully tailor every honeycomb aluminum sheet to meet the project’s requirements and design intent. We guarantee a durable and reliable material bonded with epoxy thermoplastic films from top-brand adhesives. These adhesives are more elastic and weather-resistant than regular epoxy glue. They move with the substrate without failure, even under rapid temperature changes.

Alternatively, we can use a patented modified epoxy adhesive for applications that require higher bonding strength. This enhances the tensile strength of the honeycomb aluminum sheet beyond 50%, making the material versatile for interior and exterior uses.

Our panels combine lightweight fiberglass facings with a strong honeycomb core to create a durable structure that’s significantly lighter than traditional materials. And because fiberglass offers excellent thermal conductivity that’s similar to natural stone, it minimizes warping and makes the panels ideal for exterior cladding.

What’s more, you can customize your fiberglass honeycomb panels. Choose from two fiberglass facings for a classic look or go for a single fiberglass layer combined with aluminum facings for a unique aesthetic. We use only top-tier adhesives to ensure each panel’s longevity and reliability.

Wondering why fiberglass honeycomb panels are becoming popular? In this blog, we’ll delve deeper into the eco-friendly nature of these panels and how they’re changing the construction industry.

It’s all in the composition 

You can count on our fiberglass honeycomb panels to offer the best of both worlds: durability and eco-friendliness. We use high-quality materials and a smart design to achieve this.

We construct the panels with two fiberglass layers or a combination of fiberglass and aluminum, surrounding a lightweight aluminum honeycomb core. This creates a strong, rigid structure that’s significantly lighter than traditional materials. Less weight translates to easier handling and potentially reduced building support needs.

The materials we use for our honeycomb fiberglass panels are long-lasting and durable, minimizing the risk of needing replacements and contributing to landfill waste. And by fabricating the panels to your exact specifications, we help reduce cutting and on-site adjustments, further minimizing construction waste. 

Guaranteed bonding for long-lasting panels 

Older fiberglass honeycomb panels used resin to bind the layers together, but this method resulted in the resin becoming the weakest part of the panel.

For exterior cladding panels, you need a durable and reliable adhesive that will keep the entire panel intact, no matter the environmental conditions. This is why we work closely with top adhesive manufacturers to ensure the quality of our new-generation honeycomb fiberglass panels. Now, we use modified epoxy, which is much stronger than regular resin. This resulted in our panels surviving tensile strength tests up to 25 MPa, making them two times stronger than our previous version.

Fiberglass is environmentally friendly

Fiberglass is a top choice for modern construction projects that demand sustainable, green, and energy-efficient solutions. This material has low embodied energy, which represents the total energy required to produce and transport a product from raw materials. Fiberglass is inherently strong and doesn’t require additional reinforcing materials. This reduces the weight and size of our fiberglass honeycomb panels and thereby minimizes transportation costs.

Glass (the primary component of fiberglass) further enhances its environmental credentials. Derived from sand—a natural, inexhaustible, and widely available resource—glass is sustainable. Fiberglass also features a minimal coefficient of thermal expansion, making it a durable option for exterior cladding and effective at maintaining stable indoor temperatures in extreme climates. As a result, our fiberglass honeycomb panels provide excellent insulation for buildings, further boosting their energy efficiency.

Helps create stronger, more reliable, and more durable structures

The aluminum honeycomb core in our fiberglass panels is critical to the panel’s overall strength. We meticulously calibrated the core’s cell size and density to deliver optimum weight distribution and stability. The unique cell configuration also creates proper airflow within the structure to add to the acoustic and thermal insulation for your building. You also won’t have to worry about fire destroying your property thanks to aluminum’s outstanding fire resistance.

You can be sure that our fiberglass honeycomb panels are built for durability from the ground up. We start by using a meticulous process to incorporate several layers of woven fiberglass mats into the front and back facings to create a strong foundation for the panel. Then, to further enhance wear resistance and rigidity, we impregnate these mats with a specially formulated epoxy resin. This resin plays a crucial role in the overall strength of the panel.

At KC Panels, we go beyond simply using an adhesive to bond the layers. Our customized epoxy adhesive boasts impressive tensile strength, so the panels are highly resistant to pulling forces. The unique formula also provides flexibility — it allows the panels to accommodate thermal contractions and expansions without compromising their structural integrity.

Continue reading to learn about the advantages of aluminum honeycomb panels and how they can strengthen and beautify a building.

What are honeycomb aluminum panels?

An aluminum honeycomb panel has a unique composition that consists of an aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between double layers of aluminum sheets. A special thermoplastic adhesive bonds these components to keep them in place and create a solid composite panel.

Aluminum is an excellent material for making custom aluminum honeycomb panels because of its high thermal performance and tensile strength. Plus, its aesthetics are unmatched by other lightweight metals. With honeycomb core technology, aluminum becomes exceptionally long-lasting and durable for the most demanding applications while remaining cost-effective.

A versatile building material

Besides possessing high strength and low-weight features, a honeycomb aluminum panel is customizable in any size and with specific adhesives to make it suitable for any application. Our panels have been used in many different projects under different scenarios, such as marine, transportation, cladding, flooring, and ceiling. We apply various treatments to make each panel more unique and capable of meeting aesthetic requirements, offering powder coating, PVDF, heat transfer printing, PE, and more.

Another great thing about aluminum is it is easy to shape and form into specific geometries. At KC Panels, we have the technology and tools to deliver odd-shaped honeycomb aluminum panels, including 3D, 90-degree return, and curved. We are confident in our ability to supply high-quality materials to meet any design or architectural requirement.

Durable and strong materials

The manufacturing process can make a difference in the strength and aesthetics of aluminum honeycomb panels. At KC Panels, we bond all layers of aluminum sheets and the honeycomb core with epoxy thermoplastic films. These parts are hot-pressed under 150 degrees Celsius to create a secure and complete composite panel that is weather-resistant and elastic and withstands extreme temperatures from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius. Given these benefits, we guarantee robust and long-lasting materials to keep your structure standing and good-looking for many decades.

It’s in the bonding.

The adhesive is among the critical considerations when manufacturing a honeycomb aluminum panel. At KC Panels, we use specially formulated thermoplastic adhesive films to laminate the layers. The material is solid at room temperature but melts at 130 degrees Celsius. 

Unlike regular epoxy, the thermoplastic film is more weather-resistant due to its high elasticity. As such, it moves with the substrate without failure, especially when exposed to rapid changes in temperature. In addition, it can withstand intense heat during hot summers.

Another benefit of thermoplastic films is their significant improvement in production efficiency when compared to epoxy. This way, we can deliver the panels to your construction site sooner and help you finish your project within the agreed timeline.

For special applications

For applications that require enhanced bonding strength, KC Panels manufactures aluminum honeycomb panels using modified epoxy with a patented epoxy-friendly coating. We coat aluminum sheets with the patented epoxy-friendly layer to improve bonding and tensile strength to over 50%. This way, our products become versatile for interior and exterior applications.

Select your panels

We offer our honeycomb aluminum panels in sizes of up to 2000mm wide and up to 6000 long, in thicknesses ranging from 5 mm to 500 mm. Moreover, we offer the following finishes for specific applications:

• PVDF coating
  Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a suitable paint for exterior aluminum sheets. We recommend this option for structures exposed to extreme weather and temperatures. As such, it’s ideal for exterior cladding, marine panels, mold panels, and roof panels.
• PE coating
  For indoor decorations, we recommend polyethylene (PE) paint to coat each honeycomb aluminum panel. This coat is also ideal for aluminum furniture, partitions, and ceilings.
• Epoxy or anodizing coating
  Anodizing aluminum keeps honeycomb sheet panels safe from oxidation. At KC Panels, we do this on the invisible side of the veneer or stone panel. Additionally, we offer epoxy-coating aluminum to prevent corrosion while enhancing the glue-bonding performance. This results in the honeycomb core’s pull strength becoming 2.0MPa, so the material becomes useful as backing for laminates using natural stone, veneer, porcelain, solar components, or wood.
• Mill finish
  Aluminum honeycomb panels can be laminated with other materials, like natural or engineered stone. For this, you can choose a mill finish to enhance their aesthetics without compromising weather and temperature resistance.
• Heat transfer printing
  KC Panels uses heat transfer printing technology to create patterns on the panel, such as stone veins and wood grain. This way, we can customize the panels for interior or exterior use and eliminate the need for natural materials.
• Stainless and galvanized steel
  Steel is great for exterior and interior applications requiring optimum fire performance without sacrificing aesthetics. We can fulfill this requirement by replacing the bottom and aluminum sheets with galvanized or stainless steel. Plus, we can finish the panels in different ways, including mirror, sanding, hairline, or etched, and in various colors.
