PU Stone Panels | Exterior walls, modern facades | Fireproof (Class A, EN 15102 ▲), Waterproof (ASTM C780, 1000hr immersion), Lightweight (12 kg/m² ▲) | Easy installation, cost-effective, ▲ 30% lighter than industry standard PU panels | Less durable than natural stone, requires periodic sealing in harsh climates |
Solid Surface Panels | Countertops, commercial interiors | High durability (ASTM D543), Moderate weight (18 kg/m²), Heat-resistant (EN 13501) | Scratch-resistant, seamless joints, ideal for high-traffic areas | Heavy, installation costs 40% higher than PU panels, prone to UV degradation |
Cement-Based Panels | Industrial buildings, firewalls | High thermal mass, Fireproof (Class A, ASTM E84), Heavy (25 kg/m²) | Excellent fire resistance, low cost for large-scale projects | Prone to cracking in freeze-thaw cycles, difficult to transport/install |
Fiberglass Panels | Marine environments, temporary structures | Corrosion-resistant (ASTM D543), Ultra-lightweight (10 kg/m²), UV-stable (ASTM G154) | Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, ideal for humid/marine settings | Low impact resistance (50% weaker than PU), requires frequent surface treatments |
Natural Stone Simulants | Luxury residential, high-end projects | Realistic texture (ISO 3310), Heavy (22 kg/m²), High durability (ASTM C1194) | Aesthetic appeal, long lifespan (50+ years), mimics natural stone | Expensive (2x cost of PU panels), requires skilled craftsmen for installation |
Lightweight Composite Panels | Modular buildings, temporary structures | Ultra-light (8 kg/m² ▲), Weather-resistant (ASTM D3359), Low thermal conductivity | ▲ 50% lighter than cement panels, cost-effective for quick setups | Lower fire resistance (Class B), not suitable for load-bearing applications |
