Mirror honeycomb panels

An integrated mirror surface: it increases the perceived depth of the stand and multiplies the light. Same construction and same assembly as the standard panels.

What a mirror does on a stand

Exhibition stands almost always have a size problem: the plot is what it is, and no budget changes that. A mirror is the one element that doubles the perceived space without taking another square metre — which is why it keeps coming back in fashion, jewellery, cosmetics and furniture.

The second effect is light. An exhibition hall is lit evenly and flatly from above; a mirrored surface picks up the spotlights and throws the light back into the stand, which raises the perceived brightness with no extra fittings.

The mirror panel PSP integrates the mirror surface into the honeycomb panel: it is handled and assembled like an ordinary panel, with the same accessories, and without the faff of a mirror glued on site.

How to use it without overdoing it

A rule we often pass on to stand builders: a mirror works as an accent, not as cladding. A whole mirrored wall on a small stand disorients the visitor and, above all, multiplies the mess — boxes, cables, the back of your own staff. A band, a recess, the back of a display case or the cladding of a column get the effect without the drawback.

The combination that works very well is with the curved panels: a mirrored column on a 500 mm radius gives back an image that bends gently as the visitor moves — one of the most recognisable effects in design-led stand building.

One practical note: the mirror surface shows marks. Plan a clean before doors open each day, and keep the mirrored band above roughly 1.5 m if the stand is busy.

How the panel is built

Every panel that leaves our plant in Fontanelle, near Treviso, is built the same way. These construction details are what decide whether a honeycomb panel lasts one season or ten.

Finger-jointed spruce frame

Knot-free and made only from full-length battens. Knots are where a frame breaks and pieced battens open up over time, so we don't use either.

Perforated honeycomb core

High grammage, perforated: it transfers load between the two skins and keeps the panel flat after dozens of build-up and dismantle cycles.

Edge venting

On every single panel. It lets gases escape during pressing and cooling — without venting the panel bows, and you only find out at the show.

Class 1 adhesive

white wood adhesive, together with sanded skins. That is the only way the bond is even across the whole surface, with no dead zones that give way in transit.

Sizes and availability

40 mm thick, lengths from 2,500 to 5,000 mm, widths 500 and 1,000 mm. Prices for mirror panels depend on the size and on the finish required: we quote them on request together with the rest of the order, normally within 24 working hours.

Folding columns are also available mirrored: they open in position and fold flat for transport — the most practical answer when the same stand travels to several shows in a season.

Standard sizes are always in stock. We normally ship within 7 days of order confirmation and in practice almost always sooner: in exhibition work the enquiry arrives from one day to the next, and we are set up for that.

For deliveries outside Italy we agree the build-up slot, the customs paperwork where it applies and the transport documents with you in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Is the mirror glued on or integrated?

Integrated into the panel during production. It is handled and assembled like a standard panel, with the same connector system and no work on site.

Are mirrored columns available?

Yes, the folding columns come in a mirrored version: open in position, folded flat for transport.

How much upkeep does it need at a show?

One clean before doors open each day. On busy stands we suggest keeping the mirrored band above roughly 1.5 m.
