5 Essential Practices for Insulated Panel Maintenance

roof of an industrial building - insulated panels maintenance is vital for a longlasting building envelope

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 panels 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

r value formula

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 aspects to consider for the building facade

Constructing a Memorable Building Facade Facades are part of the building’s identity. They are the first expression and image that people perceive and condition the way people think about the use of the building. They represent the personality of the property and are its form of presentation to the environment. In this article, we will […]

Fire protection for metal structures

Fire protection When constructing buildings with metal structures, one of the questions that often arises is how do we protect these structures in case of fire?  In this post, we will discuss the passive protection systems that allow us to guarantee the stability of the metallic structure in case of fire. We will provide an […]

5 types of coatings most commonly used on insulated metal panels

protective coatings for insulated panels on steel buildings

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 […]

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

Insulated panels as a construction system

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 […]

Window Frames: windows are more than frames and glass together

  Windows are more than frames and glass together Construction of office and commercial buildings using insulated metal panels as cladding does not exclude large-format window openings. There are no limitations on shapes or dimensions. There are no limitations on shapes or dimensions. It is crucial to know the different types of window frames in […]
