WHY ARE STONE MANUFACTURERS CHOOSING PLASTIC HONEYCOMB PANELS AS THE BASE PLATES OF MARBLE SANDWICH PANELS?

1.     weight reduction

The thinnest marble composite board can only be 5mm thick (composite with Polypropylene honeycomb board). The thickness is only about 12 mm when it is Commonly used to composite ceramic tiles or granite, which saves a lot of transportation costs, and it is the best choice when there is a load limit on the building.

2.     High strength

When marble, ceramic tiles, and granite composite with polypropylene honeycomb core, the anti-bending and shear strength is significantly improved, greatly reducing the breaking rate during transportation, installation, and use.

 3.  improved Anti-pollution capacity

Ordinary marble raw board (full-body board), if wet pasted with the cement during installation or later use, is likely to show various discolourations and stains on the marble surface six months or a year later, which is very difficult to remove. The plastic honeycomb composite board avoids this situation because its bottom plate is harder and denser, and there is also a thin adhesive layer.

4.     Color difference is easier to control

Because the marble composite board is cut into 3 or 4 pieces from a 1 square meter original board (full body board) to become 3 or 4 square meters. The pattern and colour of these 3-4 square meters are almost 100% the same, making it easier to ensure the consistency of their colour and pattern when used on a large area.

5.     easy installation

Due to the above characteristics, during the installation process, regardless of weight, fragility (strength, etc.), or colour separation splicing, it greatly improves installation efficiency and safety, while also reducing installation costs.

6.      Break through the restricted area

The decorative parts of marble, whether they are internal and external walls, floors, windowsills, porches, tabletops, etc., are not problematic with ordinary original boards (full bodyboards), except for the ceiling, whether it is marble or granite, no decoration company dares or can take this risk. The composite board bonded with marble and PP honeycomb board breaks through the forbidden zone of stone decoration. Because it is very lightweight, its weight is only 1/5 to 1/10 that of the entire board. If you want to decorate the ceiling with stone, it's none other than it.

7.     Sound insulation and moisture prevention

The composite board made of polypropylene honeycomb board and marble has the properties of sound insulation, moisture resistance, heat insulation, and cold resistance due to its hollow honeycomb core. Therefore, these characteristics go far beyond the performance characteristics that full-body boards do not possess.

8.     Energy conservation and consumption reduction

Due to their sound insulation, moisture-proof, and thermal insulation properties, stone polypropylene honeycomb composite panels can significantly reduce the consumption of electrical and thermal energy when installed indoors and outdoors.

9.  Reduce costs

Due to the thinness and lightness of stone composite materials, some costs are saved in transportation and installation. Moreover, for more expensive stone varieties, composite boards are made to varying degrees cheaper than the finished boards of the original board.
