Stone Honeycomb Panels
HONYLITE™ Stone Honeycomb Panels are composite wall panels made up of a thin natural stone veneer reinforced with an aluminum honeycomb backing. The stone veneer can be almost any stone including granite, marble, limestone, travertine and onyx.
Combining the aerospace technology of aluminum honeycomb with the timeless beauty of natural granite, marble and limestone, it can be used for a wide variety of applications including those typically considered weight or cost-prohibitive. They have been used extensively in exterior, interior, renovation, elevator, and specialty applications.
HONYLITE™ Stone Honeycomb Panel average weight is 16 kg/sq. m, which is approximately 80% less weight than solid stone. This weight savings alone provides huge savings in installation labor, structural requirements, and installing time.
Tough, durable Stone Honeycomb Panels offer fantastic impact resistance and flexural strength. They can resist up to 60 times more impact than solid 3 cm thick granite.
HONYLITE™ Stone Honeycomb Panel withstands hurricane force winds and large missile impacts. It has excellent performance in bond strength and flexural capacity following 4 pH acid rain and UV radiation exposure.
HONYLITE™ Stone Honeycomb Panel is impervious to water penetration, even with open structured stones such as Travertine, Indiana limestone and French limestone. The fiber-reinforced epoxy skin directly behind the stone provides a waterproof barrier.
