Hello,

Has anyone here ordered a composite panel build through these guys? I've just received a quote from them for a box for the back of my NPS 4wd and it seems like a reasonable price.
The panels are 29mm(2mm outer skin, 25mm jackodur XPS core, 2mm inner skin)
The panels are glued together into aluminium profiles.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and help ease the pain of outlying serious coin

Cheers

Using aluminum in the panel joints I would be worried about cold bridging.

It doesn't get real cold here in Australia(or more to the point I'm more comfortable in the cold).
I was more concerned about heat bridging out of the two.

Its more about the condensation from the cold bridging, it can be really annoying.

Do they have a non metal option?

Ahh,

I don't believe they do.
This is the joining profile in question

Originally I was going to go with styromax panels, but a 9 month wait on manufacturing is far to long for me to wait
