Nida-Core Honeycomb Composite Panels Arrived Today

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.
