Aluminum Honeycomb Table tops

Table tops made from aluminium honeycomb composite panels combine low weight, high rigidity and dimensional stability. They are ideal for large-format tables, thin tabletops, heavy surface finishes or complex geometries, providing excellent flatness and high bending resistance.

The structure can incorporate edge profiles, inserts and reinforcements for fixing the base, sized according to the project specifications.

Panels to be lacquered

Lacquer-ready tabletops made with aluminum honeycomb composite panels are ideal for large-format tables or tables with reduced thicknesses. They provide perfectly flat surfaces, high stiffness and dimensional stability, enhancing the quality of the lacquered finish.

  Which configuration should you choose?

 

ALUXAPP, with its aluminium surface, is ideal when the use of wood-based substrates needs to be limited or for environments with higher humidity levels.

ALUXAPP-H provides a surface that is easier to lacquer for standard indoor environments. When an HDF layer of suitable thickness is used, it also allows custom-designed engravings and decorative machining.

Veneered panels

Veneered tabletops made with aluminum honeycomb composite panels combine the natural beauty of wood with lightweight construction, high stiffness and dimensional stability. The configuration can include solid wood perimeter framing for edge finishing and internal solid wood reinforcements for fixing the supporting structure.

  Which configuration should you choose?

 

ALUXAPP-E, with the veneer applied directly to the aluminium, is recommended when a reduced overall thickness and minimal use of wood-based layers are required.

ALUXAPP-H and ALUXAPP-T use an HDF and a particleboard substrate respectively, providing more traditional surfaces for bonding the veneer.

The choice depends on several factors, including the dimensions and whether the veneer sheets are natural or reconstituted.

HPL laminate panels

They are ideal for large-format tables used in applications requiring excellent wear resistance and easy maintenance.

✔ ALUXAPP-HPL.1

   Which configuration should you choose?

 

ALUXAPP-HPL can be clad with HPL laminate on both faces or on one face only. In the latter case, the opposite face can be finished with painted metal sheet or wood veneer, depending on the project’s aesthetic and technical requirements.

Metal tops

Metal-finish tabletops made with aluminum honeycomb composite panels allow the application of sheet metal while maintaining lightweight construction, high stiffness and dimensional stability. They are ideal for large-format tables with perfectly flat surfaces and a high-quality aesthetic finish.

   Why choose this configuration?

 

The table panels are made from composite aluminium honeycomb panels, with the exposed face finished in satin aluminium.

The panels have no perimeter frame; the edges are finished with T-shaped aluminium profiles.

Support for marble tops

Marble-clad tabletops made with aluminum honeycomb composite panels provide a lightweight, rigid and dimensionally stable support. They are ideal for marble slab applications, reducing the risk of deformation caused by stresses generated by the bonding adhesives.

   Which configuration should you choose?

 

In marble-clad tabletops, the composite panel is inserted into the weight-reduced slab, providing the structural support required to anchor the hardware. The exposed face of the composite panel can be finished with wood veneer or pre-painted aluminium in a RAL colour.

Hardware Integration

Steel thread in honeycomb panels

The panel is engineered to accommodate the hardware specified for the project and the anticipated loads.

  Wardrobe Door Hardware

 

The metric threaded insert is anchored to the aluminum skins through controlled mechanical deformation, creating a strong, reusable fastening point. Screws can be installed and removed repeatedly without compromising the panel.
