5 Essential Practices for Insulated Panel Maintenance
By: Nancy Vasquez Introduction The popularity of insulated panels in various industries such as aerospace, construction, and automotive is mainly due to their durability. Also known as sandwich panels, they are composed of two layers, the outer sheathing and the core in the middle. Not only are these panels extremely durable but also cost-effective and […]
Insulated Panel Roofing
Insulated panel sandwich roofs are an excellent way to enhance a building’s energy efficiency. Typically, these roofs are used in new construction projects. However, there are cases where they are employed to replace existing roofs on buildings. In this blog post, we will discuss both scenarios.
Installation of solar panels on insulated panel roofs of prefabricated buildings
Solar energy is a sustainable and renewable energy source that is increasingly being used around the world. Solar panels can be installed on a wide variety of surfaces, but one of the most popular options is the placement of solar panels on insulated panel roofs on prefabricated steel buildings. In this blog post, we will […]
Metal building security: Is it easy for a burglar to break in?
Metal buildings are increasingly gaining popularity in the construction industry in areas where they were not as common as in the US or other industrialized countries. This is due to their durability, affordability, and versatility. They can be used for a wide range of purposes such as storage facilities, workshops, commercial spaces, and even residential […]
R-Value thermal resistance and building insulation
Abstract In the technical environments of building construction, it is increasingly common to hear questions about the R-value of the materials to be used in the building. In conversations between engineers and designers, the terms passive construction, thermal conductivity, and heat transfer are common when outlining the characteristics of a building. These expressions have their […]
5 types of coatings most commonly used on insulated metal panels
Coatings for Insulated Panels Insulated panels are made of galvanized steel with a pre-lacquered coating, i.e. with a layer that allows a better performance over time in the face of environmental agents such as UV rays due to exposure to the sun; extreme temperature changes from cold to extreme heat; toxic or corrosive environments, either […]
Acoustic Panels: Rock Wool
Advances in aspects such as improvements in the quality of life have led many nations for some years now to implement regulations that rule environmental noise in large cities, in order to avoid stress levels in people, or in some cases health disorders in those who are exposed to noise for long periods of time. In […]
PIR Boards For Cold Rooms Floor Insulation
PIR boards for cold room floor insulation PIR foam boards are a construction element that has many applications, but in this article, we focus on their use in the insulation of the floor of cold rooms. We will know some details of its manufacturing process, its presentations, as well as the most common sizes. We […]
Insulated panels, the construction system of the present and the future
In this blog article, you will dig into the concept of building systems and their evolution over the years, how local conditions determined the execution of buildings, and how global solutions with greater benefits for end customers have been reached, with a wide range of products alternatives. In addition, you will learn how the insulated panel presents remarkable […]
Self-supporting panels
Self supporting panels New ways of building, greater distance between support points or even elimination of supports, reduction and optimization of costs by using lighter metallic structures, faster installation and shorter execution time, are some of the advantages that we can learn about and benefit from in our future construction projects with insulating panels as […]
Insulating Panels and Fire
The current international standards that regulate the specifications and manufacturing requirements of sandwich panels are a safeguard for the end buyer, which allows them to obtain a product that complies with their specifications. Insulated panels’ fire resistance is related to the manufacturer’s certifications through American and European standards. Both standards are very similar in terms […]
How to choose insulated panels correctly
We know the advantages of the insulated panel construction system, but do we know how to choose the most appropriate insulated panel for our building project? In this post, you will find a series of questions you should ask yourself in order to choose the most suitable insulated panels for your building. The usage of […]
Sandwich Panels are an eco-alternative
The efforts to achieve building certifications with environmental sustainability criteria (such as LEED) require construction systems and materials that contribute to this effort to care for our environment. From its manufacturing process, its installation mechanism and thermal transmission reduction features, as well as the possibility of reuse, make the insulated panels system a more resource-efficient […]
Is PIR Insulation better than PUR?
When deciding what insulation core of insulated panels to use in a construction project, it is important to evaluate the different options that are available considering the type of climate, temperatures of the place, as well as the specific use that will be given to the property to be developed. In this sense, the following […]
