HISTORYOF"HONEYCOMB"
|
-
| The earliest major testing on HONEYCOMB Panels for use in housing
was done by the U.S. Government's Forest Products Laboratory in 1946. These
test structures still stand with no evidence of deterioration or reduction
in structural integrity. The use of HONEYCOMB Panels as a building component is not a new concept, it has been developed, tested, improved upon, and proven over a fifty year period. Every major U.S. building code authority has approved HONEYCOMB Panels for housing, including the U.S. Government, (FHA) (HUD), and the U.S. Military services Corps of Engineers. Since 1959, major HONEYCOMB panelized housing and building projects have been completed in over sixty two countries around the world. More and more, architects, developers, contractors, governments, corporations, and owner builders are taking advantage of this superior, low cost product and the many benefits its utilization offers.
