Leyard vs Sharp

5 matched panels · 1.5 to 7.8 mm · specifications from both makers' datasheets

The two lineups side by side, then what the matched panels say about weight, power and what each maker publishes. Every figure is the maker's own; the planner adds nothing it cannot point to on a sheet.

Weight and draw are per square metre of cabinet, so different cabinet sizes compare fairly. Ranges run across every panel the maker has in the database, not only the matched ones.

What the sheets say

• Leyard and Sharp overlap on 5 matched pairs between 1.5 and 7.8 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
• Leyard is the lighter cabinet in 5 of 5 matched pairs, Sharp in 0. Across their lineups that is 16 to 20 kg/m² against 21 to 42 kg/m².
• Leyard draws less at full white in 0 of 5 matched pairs, Sharp in 5. Lineups: 600 to 1,200 W/m² against 168 to 720 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
• Cabinet formats: Leyard builds in 500×500 mm; Sharp in 600×337.5, 608×342, 500×500 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
• A hanging limit is published for none of its 8 panels by Leyard and for none of its 17 panels by Sharp; where it is not, the planner uses a conservative placeholder and says so.
• Both publish a typical draw for every panel here, so the typical kilowatt figure rests on the sheets, not on an estimate.

Matched panels, side by side

Each pair is two panels of comparable pitch, one from each maker, with the same wall built from both.
