Thats why Lotus Caravans chooses HYLITE aluminium composite panels for the cladding of our caravansThe HYLITE aluminium composite panel has a foamed core and aluminium outer skins for an ultra light panel that is up to lighter than conventional steel sheets or up to lighter than aluminium sheets yet provides the same resistance.

Composite wall CARAVAN constructionIn addition to the more traditional method of caravan construction (that is, frame plus outer cladding), there has been a rise in recent times of sandwich composite panel construction that does not require the use of a frame.

Davies said a composite caravan should, at the very least have insulated sandwich panels for the walls and roof usually around mm thick but sometimes thicker or thinner depending on requirements and whether high density inserts are used to support items like roof top air conditioners.

The composite panel is often around mm thick and will have a fibreglass outer layer, polystyrene middle (think expander foam), and a thin inner layer made from aluminium or fibreglass again to sandwich it on the inside.

The main reason here is that composite panels employ bonded sandwich construction, which means that polyurethane is compressed and bonded under pressure between two slim panels, be they fibreglass or aluminium on the outside and fibreglass or ply on the inside.
