TUF is a sandwich panel with a cosmetic finish consisting of a layer of Tufite (2 mm). It has an aluminium honeycomb core and galvanized steel sheet skins. It is obtained by applying a mixture of tuff stone powder and resins to a panel without finish such as the RAWCELL® Metal panel. Main fields of application: construction (external cladding of buildings).

FIELDS OF APPLICATION | ||||||||
Typical applications of LITHOCELL® Composite Stone - TUF are mainly for building façades. |
STORAGE | ||||||||
The LITHOCELL® Composite Stone - TUF panel is a product in the “semi-finished products” category and therefore is subject to further processing; we recommend storing the panels horizontally in a closed and dry environment, possibly away from heat sources and to support them along their edges. |
