Ease of Handling

A single Bonded Series panel weighs approximately 42 pounds and does not flex, thanks to the exceptional strength-to-weight ratio of honeycomb technology. Compared to a glass sheet which is typically carried by two installers using suction cups, a Panelite panel is light and stiff enough to be carried by a single installer, saving time and labor onsite. We spoke with local installation teams who estimated on average that a Panelite system can be installed in less than half the time of a similar installation in glass. More on why the strength-to-weight ratio of honeycomb is an important factor in sustainability.
