Sandwich panels with corrugated sheets, wool and foil
Modern construction demands lesser expenses and so a greater attention is given to reducing energy losses. This is about finding the best possible option of isolation of the facility in question. Somewhat similar to standard issue panels, we come to a product which we call “sandwich panels”. How these panels look like, and what they consist of, take a look at the facade and roof sandwich panel models below:
Installing sandwich panels
When it comes to installing the sandwich panels, the lower part of the corrugated sheet is set by using two screws per sheet, and we do so by diagonal angles. This option of production disables the possibility of those sheets moving until the “Z” spacers are in place.
When the “Z” spacers are set in place and fastened, we’ve already dealt with securing the sheets themselves in place. While fastening the steel “Z” spacers, these are installed above and parallel with secondary spacer.
Dependent of the thermal isolation thickness, the height of the “Z” spacer is determined. The thermal isolation is mainly set from 30 to 150 mm. These kind of “Z” spacers are made out of steel metal sheets whose thickness is normally set from 1,5 to 2,00 mm.
Spacers are professionally protected with a anti-corrosion spread. Stone wool or styrofoam, that is – thermal isolation, is set in between “Z” spacers. After this, we approach the scene by installing the upper layers of the corrugated roof sheets. And about metal flashing and snow-guards, it is set upon the same system as when installing the single-ribbed cover.
Sandwich panels are considered finished and done once the core of the polyurethane or mineral wool is found between two steel or aluminium sheets. When it comes to roof panels, trapezoidal sheets are most common, with the bottom part being flat with slots. Facade panels are made out of two sheets of flat metal but also with the slots. The slots in this case serve as reinforcement. The upper layer of the metal tiles can be made out of different variants… Mostly depending on metal sheet tiles and on location and other facility characteristics.
Sandwich panels come in various different colors and variants, being that they’re characterized by excellent mechanical and physical properties. These advantages are especially related to the facility of economic and commercial purposes. For example, modern business facilities, various different production facilities, warehouses, hotel complexes, garages and others.
With some of the most important characteristics of the sandwich panels, we add their resistance to fire, as well as excellent heat properties. In others we like to mention the solid sound isolation, its longevity and very good thickness. In relation to other products, maintaining sandwich panels isn’t necessary. Color options are various, panels are very good-looking and of very low weight.
