Handmade or machine-made? A magnesium-panel selection guide
This guide compares the two construction routes for magnesium panels using only the listed facts: widths, thicknesses, joints, and the installation and opening facts that the source material lists for each route. It does not declare a winner, because the right route depends on the room.
Diagram: core and joint arrangement as listed for this model. This is a diagram, not a photograph of a finished panel.

Side-by-side comparison, as listed
| Item | Handmade route | Machine-made route |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Regular range 300 to 1,180 mm (handmade models) | Regular module 1,150 mm (1150 type) |
| Thickness | Regular 50 mm; custom 75 and 100 mm (handmade models) | Range 50 to 150 mm (machine-made models) |
| Joint | Tongue-and-groove connection, or middle-aluminium connection (handmade MgO rock wool panel: also full female joint with middle aluminium) | Tongue-and-groove installation |
| Openings and services | Embedded conduits and pre-cut openings, as listed | Not listed as a handmade-style opening option; state opening needs at inquiry |
| Site work | Keel-frame construction, easy disassembly, as listed | Continuous roll forming, fast tongue-and-groove installation, as listed |
| Cost note (as listed) | Higher cost than machine-made, as listed | Lower-cost route in the listed comparison |
Read the table as a route comparison, not as a model specification: a given model's own page states that model's figures, and a model that lists customisable dimensions rather than a route range must be confirmed at inquiry for its own dimensions.
Choose handmade when
Choose the handmade route first when the room needs varied widths, planned openings, embedded conduits, or later disassembly. A laboratory wall with services, a biopharma wall with pass-throughs, or a room that must be opened for maintenance later are handmade-route rooms, because the handmade construction plans those needs into the panel.
Choose the handmade route also when the room's layout is irregular: the 300 to 1,180 mm width range can address openings and corners that a uniform 1,150 mm module cannot, without forcing site cutting that compromises the joint.
Choose machine-made when
Choose the machine-made route first when the room layout is regular, the module is uniform, and installation speed matters. A large regular cleanroom wall or ceiling, built to the 1150-type module, is a machine-made-route room, because the same joint and the same module repeat across the whole run.
Choose the machine-made route also when the core choice is already settled and the question is delivery of a regular run: the MOS, hollow, and hybrid cores all have machine-made models, so the core decision and the route decision can be made separately.
