Stone honeycomb panels
Natural stone honeycomb panels are an innovative composite material. Using advanced composite technology, they firmly combine ultra-thin natural stone with aluminum honeycomb panel. This sandwich structure retains the luxurious texture and aesthetic value of natural stone, while overcoming the inherent drawbacks of traditional thick stone slabs, such as weight, fragility, and installation difficulties.
Structure and manufacturing process
| Product Name: | Natural stone honeycomb panel |
| Natural stone | 3-5mm marble, granite, limestone, travertine, etc. |
| Size | as required |
| Material: | natural stone +adhesive+ aluminum honeycomb substrate panel |
| Thickness: | 10-25mm |
| Surface: | polished, softened, brushed or sandblasted |
First, natural stone is cut to the required dimensions. Then thin stone are composited with honeycomb panels using high temperature and high pressure. The panels are then broken, calibrated, and ground to create the stone honeycomb panels.
Feature
Lightweight design
Weighing only 1/5-1/7 of traditional stone, for example, stone honeycomb panels weigh approximately 10-16 kg per square meter, they offer 60 times the impact resistance of raw stone. The hexagonal structure of the aluminum honeycomb core provides superior compressive and flexural resistance.
Transportation and installation costs are reduced by 30%-50%, making them particularly suitable for long-span curtain wall projects.
Environmental Protection and Sustainability
Aluminum honeycomb panel can be recyclable. And the natural stone can be sustainable. For example, while solid natural stone requires 20mm, stone honeycomb panels only require 5-7mm. This reduces natural stone mining by 50%-70%, contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction in buildings.
Excellent Safety
Stone honeycomb have advantage of fall-proof. Utilizing a proven metal hanging system for installation, the panel provides a secure connection. Even if a panel is partially damaged, it will not fall completely, unlike heavier stone panels, ensuring high safety.
Application
Due to its exceptional performance, natural stone honeycomb panels are widely used in applications requiring high safety, weight, and aesthetics.
Exterior wall decoration: Commonly used for exterior wall decoration in high-end office buildings, commercial buildings, luxury villas, and more, it can achieve large-scale, custom-shaped curtain walls and maintain structural safety.
Interior Decoration: Widely used in wall and ceiling decoration in hotel lobbies, clubs, and other areas, enhancing the quality of the space. It can also be used for flooring.
Furniture Manufacturing: Suitable for use in high-end dining tables, coffee tables, bar counters, cabinets, and other furniture, combining the texture of stone with its lightweight properties.
