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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The three little pigs and pre-engineered systems
The key terms when we talk about prefabricated systems are efficiency and speed in the execution of the building works. Using the story of the three piglets as a metaphor and thread of the story in which the challenge was to build three houses efficiently and in the shortest possible time, we ask ourselves: what would […]
Yet we continue laying 4 bricks per sq. ft.
A glance at one of the traditional construction systems that we still use assiduously today: Bricks. As a material and constructive process of thousands of years, it is still used as the first option when it comes to executing construction projects. This is not a bad solution for some cases, but it is important to […]
