Currently renovating our newly purchased one-story house built by SIAB in 1966. The interior walls consist of chipboard glued in a sort of sandwich laminate with honeycomb-structured cardboard as spacer material. The door frames are integrated into the walls without trim, so the whole thing seems to be some kind of prefab modules. I'm mostly curious - does anyone know more about this construction method?

Honeycomb paper has been used as spacer material in many contexts, especially interior doors and cabinet doors for kitchen furnishings and wardrobe doors. However, I have not come across any sort of prefab interior wall by SIAB using it. But it sounds interesting.

It is a sandwich construction with honeycomb core. A quite common construction, when it comes to things other than interior walls. I have never seen/heard of anything similar. However, sandwich constructions with Styrofoam as a core are more common in the construction world.
The advantage of a sandwich construction is that it becomes incredibly strong in relation to its weight.
