Sandwich Panel Core Selection Guide
Core selection starts with the room, not the core name. This guide covers the general optional cores for machine-made panels: PU, EPS, phenolic, paper and aluminium honeycomb, silicon rock and gold-faced boards, oriented to insulation and lightweight uses. Cold storage and warehouse uses are listed for PU boards. Rockwool and magnesium-system cores are mentioned here in one sentence only, with their detailed coverage sitting with the specialist sites for those cores.
General selection logic
Customer guidance quoted on this site orients laboratory rooms toward magnesium-system boards, food plants toward rockwool boards, and cold storage and warehouse enclosures toward PU boards. That guidance is customer suggestion material, not a performance guarantee, and core choice should still be confirmed against the room, the panel route and the joint type for the order.
Weight, insulation and cleaning
Paper and aluminium honeycomb cores suit rooms sensitive to weight, with a light and flat board. PU and EPS cores suit insulation and lightweight uses. For rooms where cleaning dominates, state the face finish and joint type with the core, because the face and joint decide cleaning behaviour as much as the core does.
