Honeycomb core aluminium / composite panel for flooring
Can anyone tell me the proper name for aluminium or composite floor panels - the type that have a core material sandwiched between them - and where to
buy it that may have prices online?!

Google is your friend:

Hope you have very very deep pockets though. Are you sure this is what you need? we vacuum bagged our own composite floor panels using a foam core
instead of honeycomb with carbon fibre as the outer skins with an additional kevlar layer for puncture rsistance between the bottom of the foam and
the bottom carbon layer.

Snakebelly, how many layers of each over what core? That was my original plan but I was trying to compare prices first with the ally. Annoyingly I
used to know a source I could get fibrelam (the aircraft stuff, balsa skinned with ali) free but that has gone
