The selection of a sandwich panel very often begins with technical parameters or aesthetics. In practice, however, it is not the core but the facing that largely determines how the material will perform over time.
At LB THERM, we approach this choice more broadly – as a decision that affects the durability, stability and functionality of the entire solution. It is precisely in this area that quality is determined.
The facing as a key structural element
A sandwich panel is not a single material, but a system. The core is responsible for lightness and insulation, while the facing carries loads, protects the structure and determines its durability. That is why at LB THERM the selection of the facing is always based on the application, not only on the expected visual effect.
Depending on the project, the key factors become:
– mechanical resistance
– resistance to weather conditions
– dimensional stability
– aesthetics and finishing possibilities
HPL – durability and aesthetics in one
In LB THERM solutions, HPL sandwich panels are not only a structural material, but also a finishing element. Thanks to lamination with decorative films from renowned manufacturers, it is possible to achieve a wide range of finishes – both in terms of colour and surface structure.
At the same time, HPL sandwich panels provide high resistance to mechanical damage, resistance to external conditions and stability over a long period of use.
This solution is used wherever both durability and aesthetics are important.
Aluminium – precision and control of finishing
Aluminium in LB THERM sandwich panels serves both a structural and aesthetic function. Aluminium elements are powder coated according to the RAL palette, which allows precise colour matching to the project and ensures consistency with other components.
Beyond aesthetics, aluminium provides high structural stiffness, corrosion resistance and stability in larger formats.
This is why it is used in both architectural and industrial projects.
PVC – functionality and flexibility of applications
PVC sandwich panels in the LB THERM offer are a material that performs well where functionality and repeatability are important. The availability of various shades – especially within the range of whites – allows the material to be matched to specific systems and project requirements.
PVC sandwich panels are characterised by lightness, ease of processing and a good balance between performance and cost. This solution is often used in interior and technical applications.
Material selection as a design decision
At LB THERM, the selection of the facing is not random. Each project is analysed in terms of the actual working conditions of the material. Key factors include the operating environment, loads, aesthetic requirements and expected durability.
All panels, regardless of the selected facing material, are cut to size, which allows precise adaptation to a specific application. It is this combination of factors that makes it possible to choose a solution that will perform not only at the installation stage, but also over time.
The process that determines the result
At LB THERM, the material is only one part of the whole. The final result depends on how it is processed – from lamination, through bonding, to precise cutting. Quality at every stage of production is supervised by a qualified team responsible for parameter control and process repeatability. This approach ensures consistent quality, regardless of the project scale.
HPL, aluminium and PVC sandwich panels are materials that meet different needs – from durability, through structural stability, to functionality. At LB THERM, their selection is not accidental. It is the result of a conscious approach to sandwich panel design and the understanding that quality begins with the right decision and a consistently executed process.
