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 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 […]
Are steel structures resistant to natural disasters?
Natural Disasters On The Rise In recent years, climate variability and the increase in extreme events in the world, especially in the Caribbean, present a challenge for the region that many overlook. According to Brazil’s Natural Disaster Monitoring and Warning Center (CEMADEN), there is an increase in hurricanes in the Atlantic in 2021, being the third most […]
7 reasons to build a school with a prefabricated system
Infrastructure and education Education is a growing sector. The demand for adequate and appropriate infrastructure for the new challenges is known to many. We have left behind classrooms with capacities of 50 students, giving way to classrooms for smaller groups and with a vision of work focused on the team, instead of individual work. New […]
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 […]
Self-supporting curved roof
For a long time, architecture has been evolving according to technical construction advances. The development of new materials has allowed increasingly risky designs to transform our cities’ skylines or provide spaces that enrich the user experience. The use of curved or vaulted ceilings is not something new, however, during the 60s and 70s in the […]
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 […]
