Panel Insertion – Aluminium 40×25 mm
From: $53.13 inc. GST
This Panel Insertion – Aluminium 40×25 mm can be used within the core of a 29mm composite panel to add extra strength whilst also providing access for electric cables. It may in some cases be used instead of the Pultrusion
DIY Caravans recommends using this pultrusion
- to strengthen areas subjected to considerable forces – eg hinge locations for awning panels
Insertions usually run ‘across’ the panel so you can see both ends clearly
Please note: the use of aluminium may cause a cold bridge effect (leading to condensation) whereas fibreglass pultrusions will not
Description
Panel Insertion – Aluminium 40×25 mm
The Panel Insertion
Aluminium 40×25 mm is an innovative solution specifically designed to enhance the structural integrity of a 29mm composite panel. By integrating this insertion into the panel, you gain significant strength while also allowing for efficient access to electric cables, making it an ideal choice for various applications in caravans and RVs.
This insertion
Excels in reinforcing critical areas that endure substantial forces, such as hinge locations for awning panels. Its design typically runs across the panel, providing clear visibility at both ends for easy cable management and installation. This feature simplifies the process of organizing electrical systems within your vehicle, ensuring a neat and professional finish.
However, it is essential to consider the implications of using aluminium. While it offers robust support, the material can create a cold bridge effect, potentially leading to condensation issues over time. This can affect the overall insulation and comfort of your caravan. In contrast, fibreglass pultrusions do not carry this risk, making them a more suitable choice in environments where moisture control is critical.
When deciding whether to use the Panel Insertion
Aluminium 40×25 mm, weigh the benefits of added strength against the possible drawbacks of condensation. For many projects, particularly those requiring enhanced durability and structural support, this insertion can provide the necessary reinforcement without compromising performance.
In conclusion, the Panel Insertion – Aluminium 40×25 mm is a versatile and effective choice for strengthening your caravan or RV panels while maintaining accessibility for electrical cables. Consider your specific needs and the environment in which you’ll be operating to determine the best insertion method for your project.
