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 […]
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 […]
Using insulated cold storage panels for cold rooms
Insulated panels for cold rooms? Fire resistance of cold rooms? These are some of the questions we are going to answer in the following article. We’ll review what a cold room is, what elements they are composed of, what we should know before building a cold room. We focus on the use of the refrigeration […]
Steel Coatings for Insulated Metal Panels
PROTECTIVE STEEL COATINGS FOR INSULATED METAL PANELS Polyester, PVDF, Granite® HDX, PRISMA, or HPS200 Ultra® are some of the types of steel coatings that can be applied to protect and give the final finish to the exposed steel sheet on insulated panels. The choice will depend on the location, use, and exposure of the panels […]
Rock wool panels: one of the most combustion-resistant products
Rockwool insulated panels are perhaps the best choice for fire protection of an industrial building and is an efficient acoustic barrier for your project. Rock wool panels are specifically designed to provide maximum protection in case of fire. The use of rock wool as core foam allows you to use these panels as acoustic barriers […]
Architectural Facade – It’s not all about “the looks”
The facade: Let’s talk this time about the “skin” of the building. What we see at first sight, its importance in the design and understanding of the building. When we talk about facades, the architect makes an exercise to reveal the intentionality and internal use of the building. To do so, they make use of […]
