Sandwich panels are one of the most economical thermal insulation solutions, offering increased durability, shorter installation times, less maintenance requirements, and increased sound and thermal insulation. In addition, they can be adapted to all building needs and types, with different types of panels for each case.
Divide panel types by purpose
Exterior sandwich panel
Sandwich panels come in a wide variety of finishes and are a popular choice for exterior wall decoration. The advantage of sandwich panels is that because the fixtures are hidden, the end result is very beautiful. Other advantages of sandwich panels include lightness, modularity and high insulation properties.
This type of sheet is mainly used for the insulation of external walls and walls, as well as the insulation of internal walls. They are suitable for industrial buildings, sports centres, residential and public buildings.
Roof sandwich
In this case, unlike exterior panels, these panels are highly susceptible to rain, snow or wind, as well as their weight. They are installed on the roofs and decks of all types of buildings, although they are most commonly used on roofs with a slope of at least 7%.
Their installation is usually combined with waterproof joints, making installation quick and easy and without reducing the insulation of the roof. Self-drilling screws are also used to secure them to the structure and a sealing system is used to prevent water seepage.
The most basic roof sandwich panel models have no decorative exterior finishes. Therefore, it is possible to choose a tile type sandwich board with a metal sheet covering that has a similar appearance to tile. Therefore, it is mainly used in residential construction.
There is also a sandwich panel specially designed for farm roofs that is specially treated to provide additional protection against the particular environmental conditions in which the panel is located.
Refrigeration panel
These panels are also used to insulate temperature-controlled Spaces, such as cold rooms or freezers. In these cases, the sandwich plate type used is thicker to withstand extremely low temperatures. They provide the best insulation and are easy to install.
The characteristics and performance of the sandwich plate need to be considered
This modular prefabricated insulation system is a big advantage because it is light in weight and quick and easy to install. Similarly, the size,
thickness and surface treatment of the sandwich panels can be customized.
It also has a low thermal conductivity, making it an excellent thermal insulation material, is highly durable due to the protection of the outer
layer, and is also very fire resistant. The sandwich panel is also completely impervious to water, steam and air, which also extends its service
life. They also have excellent sound insulation.
