Honeycomb Core Wood Panels – Lightweight Panels

What is a Honeycomb Core Wood Panel?

Our lightweight honeycomb core wood panels, manufactured in Canada, offer innovative weight-saving solutions. By utilizing MDF skins and a corrugated honeycomb core material, these panels can reduce weight by up to 85%. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications including wall panels, acoustic panels, doors, shelves, gables, and ceiling beams.

Available in thicknesses ranging from 3/4” to 3-3/4”, and sizes up to 5 ft x 12 ft sheets, these wood panels provide both versatility and efficiency. Standard finishes include laminate (HPL), raw ready to be veneer or painted and acoustic felt ensuring that there is an option to suit every design need.

Typically constructed with five layers: Face, skin, honeycomb core, skin and face. Our lightweight panels can be customized with a variety of core materials to meet specific design requirements. Adhesive varies widely by application: high strength, high temp, low temp, etc.

The Importance of Weight in Architectural Interior Design

Understanding why weight is crucial in architectural interior design can enhance the strength, longevity, portability, and cost-effectiveness of your projects. Here’s a closer look at why weight matters and the innovative materials that make lightweight construction possible.

  • Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Traditionally, heavier materials were considered more durable and stronger. However, advancements in engineering and design have shown that lightweight materials can offer exceptional strength. For example, in construction applications like bridge reinforcement and seismic retrofitting, carbon fiber composites are used because they provide exceptional strength with minimal additional weight, significantly enhancing structural performance without substantial weight increases.

Our materials can reach lengths of up to 144″ with minimal bending and deflecting.
