FAQ

What is the typical lead time for custom perforated honeycomb panels?

The lead time depends on order volume, complexity, and customization level. For standard specifications, production typically takes 15-20 working days. For fully custom designs involving unique perforation patterns, special colors, or non-standard thicknesses, the timeline may extend to 25-35 working days. Zhejiang QianDuoMu Intelligent Decoration Co., Ltd. streamlines this process through automated production lines, which support efficient large-scale manufacturing while maintaining flexibility for ODM/OEM projects. Detailed project planning and our experienced customer service team help minimize delays.

How do perforated honeycomb panels compare to solid panels for exterior facades?

Perforated panels offer distinct advantages for facades. While solid panels provide a seamless look, perforated versions excel in functionality: they enhance natural ventilation, reduce wind load pressure (by up to 30% depending on perforation rate), and can integrate architectural lighting effects. Critically, they maintain high structural rigidity due to the aluminum honeycomb core. For projects requiring both aesthetics and performance—such as sun shading, acoustic buffering near highways, or dynamic visual identities—perforated panels are often the superior, modern choice.

Can perforated aluminum honeycomb panels be used in high-humidity or coastal environments?

Yes, but specification is key. For coastal or high-humidity areas, we recommend using marine-grade aluminum alloy (e.g., AA5052 or AA5754) for both the face sheets and core. The surface treatment must be robust: a high-quality fluorocarbon paint (PVDF) coating with a minimum thickness of 30μm or a hard-anodized finish (≥20μm) provides excellent resistance to salt spray corrosion. Our products undergo strict salt spray testing (≥1000 hours) to ensure longevity in such challenging environments, making them suitable for projects like seaside resorts, marine terminals, and humid indoor pools.

What are the fire safety ratings for these panels, and are they suitable for public spaces?

Our standard perforated aluminum honeycomb panels achieve an A2 fire rating (according to EN 13501-1), meaning they are non-combustible and contribute minimally to fire spread. The core is filled with inert material, and the aluminum faces do not emit toxic fumes. For applications in strict public spaces like subway stations, airports, or hospitals, we can provide panels with upgraded fire-resistant cores and complete system fire test reports. This compliance, backed by our three-system management certification, ensures they meet the stringent safety codes required for public and commercial facilities worldwide.

How do I calculate the required perforation rate for specific acoustic or ventilation needs?

This requires a balanced engineering approach. For acoustic performance, a higher perforation rate (e.g., 20-30%) generally improves mid-to-high frequency sound absorption, especially when paired with a sound-absorbing backing material. For ventilation and airflow, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations or empirical formulas based on open area ratio are used. As a manufacturer, we assist clients by providing simulation data and physical samples for testing. Key factors include hole diameter, pattern distribution, and the backing cavity depth. We recommend consulting with our technical team early in the design phase to optimize the perforation design for your specific functional targets.
