SHERPA Interior Sandwich Panel
Technical Data Sheet
General Description:
The Sherpa Panel is a lightweight sandwich panel specifically developed for use in demanding off-road and expedition vehicles. With a focus on lightweight construction, high strength, and sustainability, it offers a groundbreaking solution for modern vehicle interiors.
Material Composition:
- Core Material: End-grain balsa wood (15 mm), density approx. 100 kg/m³
- Face Sheets: Natural fiber fabric with paintable primer film
Applications:
- Walls and furniture in expedition vehicles
- Applications where weight reduction and robustness are critical
Technical Specifications:

Advantages That Make a Difference:
Lightweight Construction for Maximum Payload
With a weight of less than 4 kg/m², the Sherpa Panel enables significant weight savings. For a vehicle with 30–40 m² of installed panels, this translates to an additional payload capacity of up to 100 kg—ideal for extra luggage, equipment, or even an additional passenger.
Sustainable Materials
The balsa wood is sourced from controlled forestry, and the natural fiber face sheets provide an eco-friendly yet high-performance solution.
