Why Are Sandwich Roofing Panels Appropriate for Buildings?

 Sandwich roofing panels are the solution for energy-efficient buildings, from industrial to residential construction, from roofs to walls. They offer an exceptional performance at a low price and infinite possibilities for customisation. 

Sandwich Roofing Panels and Dry Construction: 

Insulated panels are increasingly being used as a starring role, as they are ideal elements for completing structures erected using the dry construction technique. 

The possibility of designing all the elements precisely required for the construction of the building and the cladding, respect for deadlines, construction budgets and the energy performance, the shorter duration of the construction site, and architectural freedom are all elements that make dry construction structures very attractive. 

This construction technique makes sandwich panels the right element for completing the building's envelope and internal partitions. Buildings can benefit from their lightness, resistance, safety, and their versatility, and interior spaces gain effective thermal insulation and soundproofing. 

Insulated Panels for Tailored Insulation:

Sandwich panels are manufactured with the two load-bearing faces, usually made of the metal, and an internal insulating layer forming their core. The materials used —metal sheets or layers—and the insulation can vary. 

The main components of the panels may be expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foam, fibreglass, rock wool, wood, paper, cork, etc. Thanks to their insulating effectiveness, they are building elements that can optimise the yield of heating and cooling systems. 

Sandwich panels used for building vertical closure are treated as structural elements, with proper design and evaluation of the essential requirements. They can be used for roofing, perimeter and the interior walls, and particular purposes. 

The Many Reasons to Use Sandwich Roofing Panels:

Effective insulation makes a structure very comfortable for all the users of its interior spaces and helps to increase its property value. Furthermore, it reduces minimises the environmental impact of the construction activity. 

Aside from adequate insulation, sandwich roofing panels also have other features that make them a greatly advantageous solution: 

• 1. mechanical resistance to the stresses 

• 2. fire reaction and its resistance 

• 3. lightness and ease of their installation 

• 4. resistance to wear and their weather 

• 5. possibility of being mounted onto the existing roofs 

• 6. versatility of solutions: panels for the curved, inclined, flat roofing 

• 7. variety of finishes to suit the various architectural styles.

The Thermal Insulation of Sandwich Roofing Panels 

Sandwich panels provide a continuous insulating surface, minimising the risk of thermal bridges. Thanks to their high insulating performance, they are used widely in sustainable construction and buildings designed for the energy savings. 

Depending on the density and the material used in the core, the panels' thermal conductivity and insulation values can change significantly. This allows for the correct size based on the specific requirements. 

The Soundproofing of Sandwich Roofing Panels 

The insulating mass inside the sandwich roofing panels also contributes to acoustic comfort. Materials with excellent soundproofing performance are available. Placed as a roof rather than as the sidewalls, they reduce the noise inside residential and the workspaces, with remarkable benefits for quality of life. 

Roofs and Walls with Sandwich Panels 

Sandwich panels were born to meet the need for large insulating roofs, usually in industrial and commercial buildings. However, they have also been successfully applied in residential buildings. 

This use, which more than any other makes for more energy-efficient buildings, aims to insulate the roof, the largest surface most exposed to sunlight in the summer and the heat losses in the winter. Suppose insulated panels are also used to complete the insulation of vertical walls, floors, and internal partitions. In that case, we have a building that can optimise resources and reduce heat loss with a sustainable and rewarding choice.
