Honeycomb Plywood by Honeycomb Panels could be the best sustainable ecologically responsible building material to surface within the last century that is lightweight, high strength and fully insulated.
Honeycomb Panels’ honeycomb plywood marine ply is so easy to use; any standard wood worker, millwork or wood shop can use our patented honeycomb plywood without any additional skills or equipment, just as though you were using plywood.
Don’t be fooled by its appearance or ease of use. Even though our honeycomb plywood marine ply looks like regular plywood, there is nothing normal about this newest generation of composite materials to hit the woodworking industry.
The boating industry and the U.S. Navy are embracing the attributes of our patented honeycomb plywood to replace marine plywood. Marine plywood is heavy and cannot maintain a high level of flatness or precision, like honeycomb plywood by Honeycomb Panels.
Unlike traditional marine plywood this honeycomb plywood has amazing characteristics that cannot be found elsewhere in any affordable flat building material.
For instance, our patented honeycomb plywood is:
- Eco-friendly
- Lightweight
- High strength
- Insulated
- True flat
- Stay flat
- Can be waterproof plywood
- Requires no special handling
- Eco-friendly
Honeycomb Panels makes our honeycomb plywood right here at our factory in McCleary, Washington in the USA. Our honeycomb plywood may be the only structural building material made in the USA and exported throughout the world.
Lightweight
At one-third the weight (or less depending on the thickness) this revolutionary new building material helps to reduce energy costs significantly; less expensive to ship across the USA or the world, using less fuel and natural resources with less carbon footprint. At the construction end; less equipment, energy and fuel consumed on-site while saving labor costs and fewer injuries.
High strength
Our honeycomb plywood is stronger than steel pound for pound, testing out at 660 PSI (while other honeycombs are between 10 and 100 PSI) and can be easily increased to over 1400 PSI or more (if necessary to meet your specifications).
Insulated
Honeycomb Panels’ honeycomb plywood is based on their insulated panels’ design that is packed full of solid insulation wall-to-wall between the internal structure grids. The insulation panels can be used as any exterior grade plywood.
True flat
No other high strength affordable insulated building material can be as high precision for true flat surface (with 1000ths of an inch) with little or no variance depending on the desire surface material.
Stay flat
Unlike other flat building materials that may be flat when manufactured or installed, honeycomb plywood by Honeycomb Panels is designed to stay flat for 100 years and guaranteed not to warp, bend or twist for 50 years.
Can be waterproof
Regardless of your intended use, you can use our waterproof plywood honeycomb panels to handle any extreme weather, underwater or water storage applications.
Requires no special handling
This new revolution in building material is completely simple and easy to use just like ordinary plywood. No special saw blades, tools or specialized skills are necessary to bring your designs to life in the most sustainable Eco-friendly way.
