1Comparison of panel structures

Structure nameDesign (joints/screws)WorkabilityMain uses and features
① Flat cut△ Exposed screw heads◎ Very easyLow cost. Suitable for partial use in fixtures and interior design.
② Four-way bending○ Standard○ GeneralAnti-detachment structure. Most versatile.
③ Fold◎ Flat surface○ StandardMinimalist design. Ideal for interior walls.
④ Partial folding◎ The sides are beautiful○ StandardEffective for edges and other areas where the side is visible.
⑤ Honeycomb◎ Large size compatible○ LightweightLarge-area walls and ceilings. Non-combustible and heat-insulating.
⑥ Back bar suspension◎ High precision△ HeavyHigh strength. Suitable for large facilities and exterior panels.

2Panel structure details

① Flat cut panel

Flat cut

This is the simplest structure, secured with through screws. The screw heads can be hidden with "adhesive parts" made of the same material.

merit: Lightest weight, lowest cost, and seamless design possible.

② Four-way bent rivet fastening

Four-way bending

A highly safe structure that physically prevents the surface material from falling. The backing material can also be used as a joint.

merit: High safety and versatility

③ Fold-in type

折り込み

The surface material is wrapped around to the back. No fasteners are visible on the surface, resulting in a very flat and beautiful finish.

merit: Excellent design and flat surface.

④ Partially folded structure

Partial folding

Ideal for areas where the sides are exposed, such as edges. Allows for versatile use, ensuring strength without revealing rivets.

merit: The beauty of the side view

⑤ Insulated honeycomb panel

ハニカム

The core material uses non-combustible honeycomb. It has high rigidity and can create flat surfaces with minimal deflection, even over large areas.

merit: Extra-large capacity, non-combustible, and lightweight.

⑥ Hanging bar at the back

Back bar

A high-strength structure that suspends heavy, large panels using specialized fittings. Suitable for exteriors and walls in large spaces.

merit: High strength and flexibility in construction adjustments
