Consistent pricing: Raw materials for the FR composite panel (core, laminate, FR components, etc.) are readily available and are rather stable in terms of price. We kept these exact pain points in mind when designing Hammerhead FR panels. We designed our Hammerhead FR composite panels to keep pace with innovation’s demands.
