To ensure the highest and most consistent quality along with minimised production costs, Normanton have invested heavily in a new purpose built factory hosting a wide range of state of the art high technology sizing, laminating, fabrication and automated mechanical handling plant.

After over 30 years of experience, having both the expertise and equipment to fully utilise many adhesives, including the very latest technologies and systems available for laminating, allows Normanton to ensure the optimum method is adopted for each individual material combination through one of the most versatile and capable laminating facilities in the industry.

The range of materials we are therefore able to utilise in achieving the specific panel properties required is enormous, including:

Aluminium of various grades and finishes

Steels including painted, primed, galvanised and stainless grades

Lead

, used especially as a facing for construction/lining panels in radiology areas.

Rubber and Plastics; a wide range including GRP, PVC, Acrylic, Polycarbonate and ABS

Lightweight/Insulation Foams; many types including EPS, XPS, PU, PIR, Phenolic, all with differing characteristics and levels of mechanical and compressive strength, insulation and fire resistance.

Wood based sheets; all types such as plywood, MDF, OSB and particle board

Decorative HP laminates of all types

Dry Lining or Plasterboards based on Cement, Gypsum or other compositions with high fire resistant and sound insulation properties.

Honeycombs also are increasingly used to offer excellent strength to weight ratios and the material used, whether aluminium, polycarbonate, polypropylene or other more specialist variants, will be selected according to the required individual properties of the panel.

We have further invested in a unique test facility designed in house to allow us to conduct bespoke product testing and development specific to industry requirements and regulatory standards.
