Applications of Stone Honeycomb Panels in Architecture
Stone aluminum honeycomb panel is a combination of stone sheet and aluminum honeycomb substrate panel through adhesive. The surface not only retains the aesthetic characteristics of natural stone, but also has advantages of light weight, high strength, sound insulation and energy saving, which completely overcomes the shortcomings of natural stone such as heavy weight and easy cracking.
Stone aluminum honeycomb panels are generally made of 3-5mm stone and 10-25mm aluminum honeycomb panels.
| Thickness | Exterior curtain wall | Interior curtain wall | Interior ceiling | Floor |
| Natural stone | 4-5mm | 3-4mm | 3-4mm | 5-8mm |
| Aluminum honeycomb panel | not less than 25mm | 15mm | 15-20mm | 10-15mm |
What are the reasons of stone honeycomb panels widely used in architecture?
1. lightweight and save the cost
Compared to stone cladding,stone honeycomb panels are significantly lightweighter,which saves a lot of transportation costs.It also can solve the problem with some areas that limit the use of solid stone because of its weighty composition.
2.Increased strenghth
After marble, ceramic tile, granite, and aluminum honeycomb panels are combined, the bending, bending, and shearing strengths are significantly improved,as the backed by aluminum.
3.Easy to install
Stone honeycomb panels are suitable for both interiors as well as exterior use. They could be installed easily and quickly compared to natural stones.
