The honeycomb cell size has a direct influence on the panel’s mechanical behavior, weight, and manufacturing cost.
Typical cell sizes include:
- 4 mm
- 5 mm
- 6 mm
- 8 mm
- 10 mm
- 12 mm
Smaller cells generally provide:
- Better surface flatness
- Higher compressive strength
- Improved impact resistance
- More uniform load distribution
Larger cells generally offer:
- Lower panel weight
- Reduced manufacturing cost
- Better airflow for specialized applications
For most architectural curtain wall projects, 6 mm honeycomb cells provide an excellent balance between rigidity and cost.
Projects requiring ultra-flat surfaces, such as luxury building façades or high-end interior decoration, often specify 4 mm or 5 mm cells.
