Insulated Sandwich Panels — Roof & Wall

High-performance insulated composite panels consisting of two color-coated steel skins with an insulating core (EPS, rock wool, PUR/PIR, or glass wool). Used for roof and wall cladding of industrial buildings, cold rooms, clean rooms, and commercial structures requiring thermal insulation and fire resistance.

Applications

Industrial Roof & Wall

Primary cladding for warehouses, factories, workshops, and logistics centers. EPS or rock wool core depending on fire requirements.

Cold Storage & Freezers

PUR/PIR core panels for cold rooms, blast freezers, and temperature-controlled warehouses. Excellent thermal efficiency with minimal thickness.

Clean Rooms & Labs

Rock wool or glass wool panels with anti-static, anti-bacterial coating for pharmaceutical, electronics, and food processing clean rooms.

Commercial Buildings

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which core material should I choose for my project?

A: For general warehouses in non-fire-critical areas, EPS panels offer the best value. For buildings requiring fire resistance (chemical plants, public buildings, high-occupancy), rock wool (A1 rating) is mandatory. For cold rooms and energy-critical buildings, PUR/PIR provides the best insulation. For acoustic needs, glass wool is preferred. Our engineers can recommend based on your local building code and project requirements.

Q: What thickness is recommended for different climates?

A: As a general guide: tropical climates (25-35°C) — 50-75mm EPS or rock wool; temperate climates (10-25°C) — 75-100mm; cold climates (-10 to 10°C) — 100-150mm; cold rooms/freezers — 80-150mm PUR/PIR. The exact thickness should be calculated based on required U-value, local climate data, and HVAC system capacity.

Q: Can sandwich panels be used for load-bearing walls?

A: Standard sandwich panels are non-load-bearing cladding. They support their own weight plus wind loads, but not structural dead or live loads. For load-bearing applications, we recommend combining panels with a structural steel frame (portal frame or multi-story steel structure), where the frame carries gravity loads and panels provide enclosure and insulation.

Q: What is the lifespan of sandwich panels?

A: With proper installation and maintenance, color-coated steel sandwich panels last 15-25 years. PVDF coating provides the longest color retention (15-20 years), while PE coating lasts 8-12 years. The core material (EPS, rock wool, PUR) has a similar lifespan. Coastal or industrial environments may require thicker coatings (0.6mm+) and higher zinc/aluminum substrate for extended life.

Q: Do you provide installation accessories?

A: Yes, we supply complete accessory packages including: self-drilling screws (with EPDM washers), foam closures, ridge caps, eave trims, corner trims, door/window flashings, sealant, and installation tools. We provide a detailed fastener schedule (quantity per m²) and installation drawings with every panel order.
