Marine Wall Panels
LiteCore Marine Panels use calcium silicate boards as their core material, a solution widely tested and applied in numerous land-based applications.
LiteCore offers the calcium silicate core in multiple densities, enabling different mechanical, thermal, and fire performance characteristics. Although the material provides excellent fire resistance, pure calcium silicate boards deliver limited mechanical strength, particularly in thinner formats.
By bonding uniform surface layers to both sides of the calcium silicate core, LiteCore creates a strong sandwich construction. This design significantly increases rigidity and strength, even in thin and lightweight panels. LiteCore also offers the A60 panel variant without surface layers. In these cases, users must protect the panel against impact and mechanical stress and avoid applying loads before, during, or after installation. Panels with surface layers, by contrast, provide improved durability during handling, installation, and long-term use.
Calcium silicate naturally resists moisture-related damage and does not support mould growth, making it well suited for marine and offshore environments where humidity control is critical.
Users should not confuse LiteCore Marine Panels with other calcium silicate product ranges. Only LiteCore Marine Panels hold approval for marine use in accordance with IMO FTP 2010 and include production approval under the Marine Equipment Directive (MED-D).
LiteCore tests and manufactures the panels in standard dimensions, as shown in the product overview, and can also supply custom dimensions. When non-standard sizes exceed certified dimensions, local authorities or project-specific LiteCore testing may require additional approval. Such testing typically depends on project-related production volumes.
LiteCore supplies panels with individually customised surface finishes. For certification under IMO FTP 2010, the approved panel construction must include a surface finish.
