It has been a little over a week since the order for (8)- 30mm Nida-Core H8PP Honeycomb Composite Panels was placed with Essential Composites down in Florida. The 8 panels arrived today via transfer freight. I was pleased, to say the least, on the very quick handling and shipping.
Essential Composites in Florida was a pleasure to do business with. I spoke with Max, possibly the owner of the company, an extremely nice guy and he was authentically concerned about making the end-user happy. He got the ball rolling immediately and supplied me with 1.25" (30mm) H8PP 4x8 Nida-Core Honeycomb Composite panels - fiberglass skin both sides, matte finish.
Prior to being forwarded to Essential Composites, I had looked all over the internet --high and low--for a couple of weeks, attempting to locate a distributor which sold 30mm panels. To no avail. 30mm is really close to 1.25" standard, but the thickest panels I could find were 1" thick.
I was referred to Essential Composites by a third party non-distributor.
The fact that Max was such a highly concerned business man, courteous and actually cared, I would highly recommend purchasing panels from Essential. Made for a very quick, smooth transaction and excellent communication regarding shipment dates,etc; Just great people! And if you're reading Max-- thank you sir. We need more fine American business men like yourself.
Some of the other distributors which I contacted, never returned a phone call-- not one phone call. However, Essential Composites was excellent in the realm of customer service and communication.
Do yourself a huge favor-- make appropriate arrangements ahead of time to have the panels shipped to a registered business address (friend's vehicle repair shop, woodworking shop, boatbuilder's business, etc;). This move will cut your freight charge in half. They only ship out on tractor trailers and will only ship to a business address. If your residence functions as a business, then you may be golden.
Product review: these 30mm panels are really nice, quality panels. Rigid and extremely durable and chiming in at 32 pounds per 4x8 panel., 1 lb. per square foot. These panels are definitely going to make a great custom camper I do believe.
