Modern commercial real estate construction emphasizes speed, efficiency, energy saving and aesthetics. Wall and roof sandwich panels are a material that meets all these requirements and are an ideal choice for warehouses, production facilities, logistics centers and administrative buildings. Their unique construction ensures high durability, insulation properties and aesthetic appearance. Below we will look at the individual layers that sandwich panels consist of and their functions.
What are sandwich panels?
Sandwich panels are a multilayer building material composed of:
1. Two-layer cladding
The cladding consists of both sides of the sandwich panel – external and internal. Both layers are essential for the mechanical strength and protection of the panel.
Material:
- The most commonly used is steel sheet (galvanized or coated).
- Alternatively, the cladding can be made of aluminum or plastic, especially for specific applications.
Surface treatment:
- The panels have a protective coating (polyester, PVDF, plastisol), which increases resistance to corrosion, UV radiation and mechanical damage.
- The choice of colors and textures allows you to adapt the panels to the design of the building.
Function:
- Protects the insulation core from external influences.
- Ensures the structural strength of the panel.
- Contributes to the aesthetics of the building.
2. Insulation core
The insulation core is a key part of the sandwich panel, which determines its insulation properties.
Insulation core materials:
1. PUR/PIR foam:
- Polyurethane foam is the most widely used due to its low weight and excellent thermal insulation.
- PIR foam has better fire resistance.
2. Mineral wool:
- Suitable for buildings with higher fire protection requirements.
- Excellent sound insulation.
3. Polystyrene (EPS/XPS):
- Affordable material with good insulation properties, especially for less demanding applications.
Function:
- Provides thermal and acoustic insulation.
- Increases the fire resistance of the panel (depending on the material).
3. Connection elements and seals
Sandwich panels contain built-in elements to ensure tightness and easy installation.
Connection systems:
- Panels are equipped with grooves and tongues (so-called locks) that ensure a firm connection and minimize thermal bridges.
Seals:
- Rubber or foam sealing elements prevent the penetration of water, dust and wind.
Function:
- They facilitate installation.
- Increase tightness and energy efficiency.
Main advantages of sandwich panels
1. Fast construction
Thanks to prefabrication and easy assembly, construction time can be reduced to a minimum. The panels are delivered ready-to-install, which simplifies the construction process.
2. Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
The insulating core minimizes heat loss and improves the energy efficiency of the building. In addition, it reduces noise from the outside environment, which is key for industrial and administrative buildings.
3. Durability and durability
Steel cladding protects the panels from weather influences, mechanical damage and corrosion. Thanks to this, sandwich panels have a long service life without the need for expensive maintenance.
4. Design flexibility
Sandwich panels are available in various colors, profiles and surface finishes, which allows you to adapt the appearance of the building to your aesthetic requirements.
5. Universal use
The panels are suitable for both walls and roofs. They enable the construction of warehouses and industrial halls, shopping centers, sports facilities and administrative buildings.
6. Environmental friendliness
The materials used in the production of sandwich panels are recyclable, and thanks to excellent thermal insulation, they reduce the energy consumption of the building.
Types of sandwich panels
1. Wall panels
- Designed for perimeter walls and partitions.
- Available in smooth, micro-profiled or corrugated versions.
2. Roof panels
- Designed to withstand snow and wind loads.
- Special surface treatment ensures long-term weather resistance.
Why choose sandwich panels for commercial properties?
- Fast implementation: Construction completed in record time.
- Reduced operating costs: Better insulation results in savings on heating and cooling.
- Attractive appearance: The panels meet modern aesthetic requirements for architecture.
- Cost-effectiveness: High price/performance ratio.
