Does the solid core affect the panel’s weight and machinability?

A: Yes.

Weight: Approximately 30%-50% heavier than foamed PE core panels of the same thickness. Structural load-bearing must be considered during installation.

Machinability: Can still be cut and grooved, but sharper tools are needed due to the harder, denser core. Normal cold bending (V-cutting and folding) is very difficult or impossible. If bending is required, hot bending in the factory or assembly with corner brackets is typically used.
