SPC Aluminum Honeycomb Sheet

A: An SPC Aluminum Honeycomb Panel is a three-layer composite building material that combines a rigid SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) wear layer on top, an aluminum honeycomb core in the middle, and an aluminum backing sheet on the bottom. The SPC surface provides excellent scratch and water resistance with realistic decorative textures, while the honeycomb core delivers outstanding rigidity, flatness, sound insulation, and lightweight performance. It is widely used as an alternative to traditional flooring, wall panels, and furniture boards in both residential and commercial applications.

A: Common specifications:
• Total thickness: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 20mm (customizable up to 30mm)
• SPC wear layer thickness: 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 1.0mm
• Aluminum skin thickness: 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm (top and bottom)
• Honeycomb core cell size: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm
• Standard panel size: 1220 × 2440mm (max 1500 × 3000mm, custom sizes available)
• Surface finishes: Wood grain, stone texture, marble, solid color, custom pattern
• Edge profile: Square edge, click-lock interlocking, or beveled edge
• Panel weight: 3–6 kg/m² (depending on thickness and configuration)

A: Our standard MOQ is 200 square meters per color or pattern. For custom colors, textures, or non-standard sizes, the MOQ may vary depending on the complexity of the order. We welcome trial orders and can accommodate smaller quantities for initial sampling and market testing - please contact our sales team with your specific requirements, and we will work out a flexible arrangement.

A: Common applications:
• Commercial flooring: Hotel lobbies, retail stores, office buildings, shopping malls
• Wall cladding: Interior feature walls, elevator cabins, reception areas
• Furniture manufacturing: Cabinet doors, tabletops, display counters, shelving
• Marine & RV: Yacht decking, cruise ship interiors, caravan flooring, motorhome walls
• Healthcare & Education: Hospital corridors, school classrooms, laboratory flooring
• Exhibition & Events: Trade show booths, pop-up stores, temporary structures
• Residential: High-end apartment flooring, bathroom walls, basement renovation
• Transportation: Train carriage interiors, airport terminal flooring, bus station cladding

A: ① Lighter weight: Only 40–60% of the weight of same-thickness solid SPC flooring - easier handling and lower shipping costs
② Superior flatness: Aluminum honeycomb core prevents warping, cupping, and deformation over time
③ Better sound insulation: Hexagonal core structure absorbs impact noise (up to 20 dB reduction), ideal for multi-story buildings
④ Higher rigidity: Maintains structural integrity over larger spans, reducing subfloor preparation requirements
⑤ Thermal stability: Minimal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, eliminating gapping issues
⑥ Faster installation: Larger panel format (1220 × 2440mm) covers more area per piece, reducing labor time by 30–50%
⑦ Eco-friendly: Both SPC and aluminum components are recyclable, supporting green building certifications

A: • Wood grain: Realistic oak, walnut, maple, teak, ash textures - indistinguishable from real timber
• Stone texture: Slate, travertine, sandstone finishes with authentic touch and natural color variation
• Marble effect: Carrara white, Calacatta gold, Emperador brown - luxury aesthetic without the weight or cost
• Solid colors: Custom RAL/Pantone color matching available for brand-specific projects
• Anti-slip embossing: Textured surface for wet areas, ramps, and outdoor covered spaces
• UV-resistant coating: Enhanced surface treatment for areas with direct sunlight exposure
• Antimicrobial option: Silver-ion treated surface for healthcare and food service environments

A: Yes. The standard configuration achieves B1 (difficult to ignite) fire rating under EN 13501-1 and GB 8624 standards. For projects requiring higher fire safety - such as high-rise buildings, public transport hubs, and healthcare facilities - we offer an A2-rated aluminum honeycomb core upgrade. Both SPC and aluminum are inherently flame-retardant materials that do not produce flaming droplets or toxic smoke during fire exposure. Third-party fire test certificates are available upon request.

A: Two primary installation methods:
• Floating installation (click-lock): Panels with interlocking edge profiles are clicked together over an underlayment - no glue required. Ideal for flooring in commercial and residential spaces. Allows easy disassembly and replacement.
• Direct glue-down: Panels are bonded to the substrate using polyurethane or epoxy adhesive. Recommended for wall cladding, heavy-traffic commercial areas, and marine applications where maximum stability is needed.
Both methods can be performed by general fit-out teams with basic training. We provide detailed installation guides and video tutorials. For large-scale projects, our technical team can offer on-site supervision and training support.

A: • Standard stock colors/sizes: 5–7 working days
• Custom color or surface finish: 10–15 working days
• Non-standard size or special configuration: 15–25 working days
Actual lead times depend on current order volume and production schedule. Rush orders can often be accommodated - please inform our team of your deadline when placing the order. We will confirm a precise delivery schedule in the sales contract.

A: Packaging: Each panel is separated by PE protective film or foam interlayer to prevent surface scratching. Panels are stacked on fumigated wooden pallets, wrapped in corrugated cardboard, and secured with corner protectors and strapping bands.
Shipping options:
• Sea freight: FCL (20GP/40HQ) or LCL - most cost-effective for international bulk orders
• Express courier: DHL, FedEx, UPS - suitable for sample orders and urgent small-volume shipments
• Rail freight: Available for Europe and Central Asia routes - faster than sea, more economical than air
We work with experienced freight forwarders to ensure safe transit. All shipments are insured. In the rare event of transit damage, we assist with claims and offer replacement panels.
