Aluminium Honeycomb Panels
All facade systems at AFS International are developed and fabricated as high-quality products. AFS International offers various facade solutions, fit to the customer’s needs. For example, our Q-ventilated line consists of different open or closed joint systems. These systems are called ‘sandwich panels’: two architectural panels encase the ‘honeycomb core’. This core consists of an aluminium hexagonal pattern. This solidity comes from the shape of the hexagon. These shapes allow a perfect linear joining with one another. This is the technique applied in our aluminium honeycomb panels.
Our honeycomb panels can be found all over the world e.g. the Jameel Art Centre in Dubai and the Nhow Rai Hotel in Amsterdam.
Honeycomb Panels Aluminium Structure
Due to the perfect aligning of the hexagonal pattern, the space between panels will be optimally utilized. This results in a very strong and proportionally divided interior of the panel. Notorious for being lightweight and yet very strong, a core of aluminium honeycomb panel is able to span large panel dimensions with a easy subconstruction. The weight will be equally divided because of the hexagonal structure.
Honeycomb Panel Products by AFS International
All or our aluminium honeycomb solutions consists of two aluminium skins with aluminium honeycomb core. We have a standard range of systems but also develop new systems according project specifications and requirements.
Each system has its own specifications and features, though the aluminium honeycomb panels are installed in the same way. The honeycomb panel has its own remarkable quality: because the hexagonal pattern results in optimal use of space between the panels, the solidity is very high. This aluminium layer sits between two outer panels as though it is a ‘sandwich’. This honeycomb core is connected to the outer metal panels with two-component polyurethane glue. This particular product is used to secure the architectural panels. It keeps its sturdiness and yet remains elastic. The standard outer architectural panels are made of aluminium as well but can be made out of other metals (zinc, titanium, copper, brass or stainless steel) on request.
