Flat faced sandwich panels provide a comparatively smooth metal surface over an insulating core. They are selected where the visible panel finish and joint arrangement are part of the design brief. Facing flatness, appearance acceptance and the intended application should be agreed before production.

Facing flatness, appearance acceptance and the intended application should be agreed before production.
Wall linings, internal enclosures and other approved building applications that require a flat or lightly profiled finished panel face.
Identify the exposed faces, colour and gloss requirements, lighting conditions and appearance acceptance criteria. Provide the panel module, dimensions, joint drawing and details of any openings or perimeter trims.
A flat-faced appearance does not identify the core material or establish suitability for a specific hygiene, fire or thermal requirement. Define these requirements separately and review evidence for the actual panel construction and joint system.
Specify facing metal thickness, coating and finish independently from the core material and overall panel thickness. Check the effective cover width and joint geometry when preparing the panel schedule. Similar-looking panels may have different cores, facing construction and connection requirements.
State the required thermal, acoustic and fire performance and the documentation needed for review. Values must relate to the offered construction and relevant assembly conditions. Do not infer a classification, warranty or installed performance from a photograph, a generic core name or a nominal thickness.
Send drawings, panel dimensions, quantities, core and facing requirements, intended use and delivery destination. Include the required joint, trims, appearance criteria and documentation. Gallery photographs illustrate sandwich-panel configurations; the approved specification and drawings define the supplied product.
Use the following specification checklist for the quotation and order review. Dimensions, materials and supporting performance information must be agreed for the proposed panel construction.
| Product | Flat Faced Sandwich Panels |
|---|---|
| Panel construction | Metal facings bonded to a specified insulating core |
| Core | Material type, required properties and acceptance documentation to the project specification |
| Overall thickness | Nominal panel thickness and tolerance to be agreed |
| Metal facings | Inner and outer facing material, metal thickness, coating and finish specified separately |
| Dimensions | Panel length schedule, overall width, effective cover width and tolerances |
| Joints and edges | Approved joint drawing, edge arrangement and required accessories |
| Performance | Thermal, acoustic and fire requirements with evidence for the offered construction |
| Appearance | Colour, gloss, exposed face quality and agreed inspection conditions |
| Documentation | Order identification, inspection documents and agreed test or classification evidence |
Confirm whether accessories, sealants, fixings and trims are included in the quotation. Material supply does not replace project-specific design and installation coordination.
Approve the panel schedule and joint details before manufacture. Check that openings, corners and junctions are represented in the drawings. Follow the applicable product and system installation guidance, and coordinate cutting, lifting and fixing methods with the panel construction. Protect exposed core edges and finished facings as required by the approved system.
Agree pack dimensions, panel quantities, maximum pack weight and unloading requirements. Packing should support the panels and protect their edges and finished surfaces for the planned transport route. Labels should identify the product, dimensions and order so packs can be checked against the delivery documents.
Inspect packages on arrival and record visible damage promptly. Store panels according to the supplier guidance, with suitable support and protection against moisture and surface damage. Confirm protective-film handling and removal requirements. Transport packaging should not be assumed suitable for indefinite exposed storage.
Specify appearance acceptance criteria and viewing conditions. The proposed facing material and panel construction should be reviewed for the intended visual application.
Suitability must be checked against the actual surface, joints, seals, cleaning conditions and performance requirements. The product name alone does not establish approval.
No. Confirm the core material and construction in the written specification. Images show representative panel configurations.
The required thickness depends on the application, proposed construction and project performance requirements. Include these details so the offered panel can be reviewed.
List the required documents in the enquiry. Check that any supplied evidence applies to the offered panel and relevant system conditions.
Provide application drawings, panel dimensions and quantities, core specification, both facing specifications, joint details, performance requirements and destination.
