Thickness guide

Overall thickness and skin thickness are separate choices

A panel described as 5 mm thick is not made from one 5 mm aluminum sheet. It is a sandwich construction with a front skin, honeycomb core and back skin.

Aluminum honeycomb panel samples in several overall thicknesses

Overall panel: 5–65 mm

Overall thickness describes the complete bonded panel. It includes both aluminum skins, the honeycomb core and bonding layers.

Each skin: 0.3–2.0 mm

Front and back aluminum skins are specified independently. The two sides may use the same or different thicknesses.

Example: 5 mm panel

A confirmed 5 mm combination uses a 1.0 mm front skin and 1.0 mm back skin, with the remaining internal height approximately 3 mm.

Standard core foil: 0.03 mm

Foil thickness describes the aluminum used to form the honeycomb cells. It is not the same measurement as the core height or overall panel thickness.

Cell side length

The 3 × 3, 4 × 4, 5 × 5 and 6 × 6 mm options refer to the side length of each hexagonal honeycomb cell.

Confirm the full combination

Two panels with the same overall thickness may use different skin configurations. State all three values in the inquiry: overall, front skin and back skin.

The common combinations shown on this website are starting points, not the limit of available configurations. Final production follows the confirmed order specification.
