Aluminum Honeycomb Panels
All panels have a.016 aluminum skin with a sealed poplar frame and an aluminum honeycomb core. Panels over 48” x 96” have pieced aluminum skins joined with an aluminum-to-aluminum bond to provide a continuous flat surface. The aluminum skin is not intended to be a finished display surface.
SP-2, SP-3 and SP-8 panels have an exposed wood edge on the back of the panels for attaching wrapped fabric. The paper on the SP-PF panels is 2-ply conservation board.
All of the aluminum skin panels can have an additional lamination of museum board or fabric to the aluminum skin.
Other Aluminum Panels
Photo Mounting Panels (PMP) have a 30 pt. conservation board surface laminated to a ½” aluminum honeycomb panel. This panel is set into a 7/8” black powder coated outer frame, with the paper surface flush to the outer edge of the frame. The finished panel is smooth, stable and very lightweight. All components are acid free, lignin free and will not interact with the artwork. Photo mounting panels are also suitable for mounting other works on paper, including maps, drawings and documents, For panels without a paper face the maximum seamless width is 47 inches. The panels are made to order and priced by the square foot. The standard panel includes an internal hanging cleat.
The OHP panel is designed for photographs and artwork and gives a floating effect when installed on the wall or in a frame.
The maximum size without a splice in the mounting surface is 48” x 96”. The overall height of the finished panel is 9/16”.
The ODP Panel is a stable, archival mounting panel for textiles. It can also be used as the interior display deck in exhibit cases. There is no wood in this panel and it is well suited for storage and sealed display applications. The panel consists of an anodized aluminum outer frame with an inlaid aluminum/polyethylene sandwich sheet as the mounting/support surface. A 30point archival paper face for mounting works on paper and photographs to the panel is optional. The ODP is available with 8mm polypropylene tack strips in the back channel for pinning backing fabric. Aluminum “Z” style hanging cleat sets are also available. The set consists of two pre-drilled 6” sections, and does not include wall mounting hardware.
Textile Hanging Slat
Aluminum slats are used for hanging large and small textiles for display or storage. The standard slat is 3” wide x 1/8” thick with 2” wide hook Velcro on one side. The Velcro is adhered to the slat with a fully cured epoxy adhesive. Finish is white powder coat on slats up to 96”. Maximum slat length is 192”. Several slats may be combined for use with longer pieces. All Velcro slats have predrilled holes for attaching to a wall or mounting panel. Slats may also be ordered without Velcro and with keyholes for use in pocket hanging textiles.
Hanging Cleat for Textile Slat
A hanging cleat is made from two bars of aluminum joined to form a pocket, which accepts the hanging slat. Lengths and finishes specifications are the same as the slat. It comes pre-drilled for attachment to a wall or mounting panel. These are particularly useful for pieces in study collections.
