Panel Options – Gel Coat Skin Thickness

The available Panel Options – Gel Coat Skin Thickness vary based on the panel kit you select for your DIY project. Thicker skins not only add extra strength to the panel but also enhance its visual appeal, as they are less likely to deflect during manufacturing. However, it’s important to consider that increased thickness may add some weight to the overall structure.

 

• Panel Kit A: Features hand-laid skins that are approximately 2mm thick. These skins are known for their durability and resistance, making them an ideal choice for robust construction.
• Panel Kit B: Standard panels use 1.6mm Brianza skins, offering a great balance between strength and weight. For additional reinforcement, customers can upgrade to 2.0mm Brianza skins on both sides. Alternatively, you can opt for 1.6mm skins internally and 2.0mm skins externally, providing extra durability where it’s most needed.
• Panel Kit C: Standard panels come with 1.9mm Lamilux skins on both the A and B sides. These thicker skins provide enhanced rigidity and long-term performance, especially suitable for off-road or heavy-duty use.

 

Choosing the correct skin thickness is crucial for achieving the desired strength and appearance of your caravan or RV. Thicker skins are less prone to deflection, ensuring a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing finish while maintaining structural integrity.
