Metal Sandwich Panels

Metal Sandwich Panels Selected Around Fire, Thermal and Envelope Performance.

Steel facings, insulated cores, panel joints, fasteners and flashings are coordinated around the building use, climate, fire strategy and installation sequence. The result is a defined envelope package rather than a list of unrelated panels.

Envelope Applications

Match the Panel System to the Building and Its Internal Conditions.

The correct panel is determined by more than insulation value. Fire performance, acoustics, humidity, washdown, joint behavior, surface finish and supporting spans all affect the wall or roof specification.

01Industrial and Logistics Envelopes

Durable roof and wall systems coordinated with docks, doors, canopies and future extensions.

02Cold Rooms and Food Facilities

Insulated, sealed panel assemblies for temperature control, hygiene and frequent cleaning.

03Partitions and Controlled Spaces

Internal rooms and ceilings developed around fire, acoustic, cleanability and service needs.

Panel Configurations

Choose the Core and Profile Around the Required Performance.

These are starting configurations. Core density, facing thickness, coating, joint, panel length and supporting span are confirmed against the project specification and installation conditions.

Panel Supply Scope

Define Panels, Joints and Accessories as One Envelope Package.

Panel schedules are coordinated with elevations, openings, corners, eaves, ridges and installation direction. This reduces incompatible trims, uncertain quantities and avoidable cutting on site.

Core Panel Package

Coated steel facings and the selected insulated core Cut-to-length wall, roof or cold-room panels Tongue-and-groove or specified interlocking joints Flashings, trims, fasteners and specified sealants Panel layouts, marks, packing lists and installation details

Performance and Finish Options

PU-edged rock wool construction and enhanced joint details Wall, roof, ceiling and cold-room panel profiles Facing thickness, coating system, color and surface profile Daylight, opening, curb and service-penetration accessories Project-specific fire, thermal and hygiene documentation

Panel Planning Inputs

Core, Joint and Facing Must Be Selected Together.

Final values are project-specific. The application, required performance, supporting span and local compliance basis should be confirmed before panel production begins.

Metal Sandwich Panel FAQ

Questions That Define a Useful Panel Quotation.

A clear performance brief helps avoid selecting a core or thickness that is unsuitable for the building or local approval process.

How do I choose between rock wool, PU/PIR and EPS panels?+

Rock wool is commonly considered where fire and acoustic performance are central. PU/PIR is often selected for high thermal efficiency and cold-room applications. EPS can suit economical light-duty envelopes where the project fire strategy permits it. The final choice must follow the required test standard and local code.

Are wall panels and roof panels interchangeable?+

No. Roof panels need profiles, laps, fasteners and drainage details suited to weather exposure and roof slope. Wall and cold-room joints are developed around different air, water, vapor and appearance requirements.

What panel thickness should the project use?+

Thickness depends on the core, internal temperature, external climate, fire requirement, supporting span and energy target. It should be selected from the full performance brief rather than floor area alone.

Can fire test and material documents be supplied?+

Available material certificates and test documents can be included according to the selected panel system and agreed project standard. The exact document list should be confirmed before order placement.

Can panels be produced in custom lengths and colors?+

Yes, subject to production, coating and transport limits. An approved panel schedule should define lengths, quantities, color, facing profile and installation location before manufacture.

How are long panels protected for export shipment?+

Panels are stacked with protective layers, edge protection and identified bundles. Bundle size, lifting points and container or flat-rack strategy are coordinated with panel length and unloading conditions.
