Bespoke panels
Bespoke composite panels - Panel Systems provides a bespoke laminating service covering a wide range of
materials suitable for curtain walling and for aluminium and uPVC window systems in
Domestic Housing, Commercial and Industrial Development, Hospitals, Leisure
Facilities, and Office Environments. Architects and specifiers rely on our expertise and
experience to produce bespoke laminated panels with the longevity, impact resistance,
fire retardant qualities, and exterior appearance required, and with ‘U’ values which
meet current and anticipated building regulations. A composite panel consists of three or more materials laminated to form a structural unit.
Comprising a low density core materal with high sheer strength, and high density facing
and balancing materials, the panel’s ability to span over large areas gives the specifier
greater flexibility when considering the overall design.
Panel Systems’ long experience and ability to work with various types of core materials
allows us to satisfy the specifier’s requirements in the areas of longevity, acoustics,
thermal insulation, fire and impact resistance, and outward appearance.

Bonding relationships
Adhesives provide the crucial, but often overlooked factor in the
construction, longevity and overall performance of any laminated panel.
Successful adhesion plays a primary role, allowing the even distribution
of the stresses experienced by the facings when the panel is exposed
to wind loadings and solar gain. For standard material covered in this
brochure Panel Systems employs a tried and tested polyurethane
adhesive system backed by the necessary primers required for
bonding difficult metals. For other materials the choice of adhesives
can be difficult, and in many cases careful technical analysis is
required to ensure finished panels meet our own standards and
our customers’ requirements.
Our own long-standing technical expertise and a close working
relationship with clients has proved to be the route to success
in this aspect of our work.
