Honeycomb Panel Fixing Sloutions

The honeycomb panel pendant mainly consists of the following accessories:Pendant body: This is the core part of the pendant, which is usually made of metal material and has sufficient strength and stability to ensure the safe hanging of the honeycomb panel.Adjustment screw: Used to fine-tune the installation position and height of the pendant to adapt to different installation environments and needs.Fixing screws: Fix the pendant on the wall or other supporting structure to ensure a firm connection between the pendant and the supporting structure.Gasket: Located between the pendant and the honeycomb panel, it plays a buffering and anti-slip role and protects the honeycomb panel from damage.Anti-vibration pad: Installed between the pendant and the supporting structure to reduce vibration and noise and improve the stability of the overall structure.

Honeycomb Panel Fixing

Engineered fixing system for aluminum honeycomb panels | Concealed or visible mounting options

⬡

The Honeycomb Panel Fixing system comprises a comprehensive range of mechanical fasteners, clips, and brackets engineered specifically for attaching aluminum honeycomb panels to building substructures. The system addresses the unique requirements of honeycomb panel construction including low weight, high stiffness, thermal movement, and the need for concealed fixings that preserve the clean aesthetic of flat panel facades. Components include T-bolts, rivet nuts, blind rivets, Z-clips, and adjustable brackets with neoprene or EPDM isolators to accommodate differential thermal expansion. The fixing system is available in aluminum (anodized or powder-coated) and stainless steel (AISI 304/316L) to match panel materials and environmental exposure. Standard fixing spacing ranges from 300-600 mm based on panel thickness and wind load calculations, with custom engineered solutions for non-standard panel geometries or seismic applications.

Fixing components

◈

Z-clips

Concealed hanging clips with vertical adjustment. Engage panel edge slots for hidden fixing. Load range 2-8 kN per clip.

◈

T-bolts & rivet nuts

Threaded inserts for panel back surface. Provide blind fixing points for bolted connections to substructure rails.

◈

Adjustable brackets

3-axis adjustment for panel alignment. Incorporate thermal break washers to prevent condensation transfer.

◈

Blind rivets

Structural rivets for skin-to-core and panel-to-frame attachment. Available in aluminum, steel, and monel.

◈

Compression gaskets

EPDM or silicone isolators between fixing and panel to accommodate thermal expansion and dampen vibration.

◈

Seismic anchors

Rated connections for earthquake zones with slotted holes allowing movement while maintaining panel retention.

Frequently asked questions

What fixing method is recommended for visible vs concealed panel applications?

For concealed fixing, Z-clips with slotted edge engagement provide the cleanest aesthetic. For panels requiring visible attachment, countersunk rivets or flush-mount bolts with color-matched heads are used. The choice depends on panel thickness and core material. Jiangsu Aozheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. provides fixing selection guidance based on panel construction and architectural requirements, with projects completed across the United States, Germany, and Australia.

How is thermal expansion accommodated in honeycomb panel fixing systems?

The fixing system incorporates slotted holes, neoprene/EPDM washers, and adjustable brackets to accommodate panel expansion and contraction. Typical aluminum honeycomb panels have a coefficient of thermal expansion of 23.5 x 10^-6 /°C, requiring movement capacity of 1.2-2.5 mm per meter of panel length. Jiangsu Aozheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. engineers fixing spacing and slot dimensions per project temperature range.

What materials are available for honeycomb panel fixing components?

Fixing components are available in aluminum (6061-T6, 6063-T5) with anodized or powder-coated finishes, and stainless steel grades AISI 304 and 316L for high-corrosion environments. For special applications, titanium and phosphor bronze are available. Jiangsu Aozheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. maintains a diversified production base with annual output exceeding 2,000 tons of building materials for global construction firms.

What load and wind testing is performed on the fixing system?

The fixing system is tested for tension, shear, and combined loads per ASTM E488 / EN 13929. Wind load resistance is verified through pressure testing on full-scale assemblies. Jiangsu Aozheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. provides test certificates with each project. The company's ISO 9001-certified facilities ensure consistent quality across all components supplied to international construction teams.
