What is Sandwich Panel? Features, Advantages and Areas of Use
The sandwich panel, which stands out among modern building materials, has become one of the indispensable parts of the construction sector with both its practical installation and superior insulation properties. So what exactly is a sandwich panel? In which areas is it used and what advantages does it offer?
Basic Structure of Sandwich Panel
The sandwich panel gets its name from its structure consisting of three layers. Its two outer surfaces are usually made of galvanized or painted sheet metal. There is a filling layer between these sheets that provides insulation. This filling is usually polyurethane (PUR), stone wool or EPS (expanded polystyrene) materials.
Thanks to this structure, the panel provides both mechanical durability and high performance in heat, sound and moisture insulation. In other words, you can solve many problems at the same time with a single product.
Areas of Use
- Industrial structures (factories, warehouses)
- Cold storage
- Shopping malls
- Sports halls
- Agricultural structures
- Prefabricated structures
- The reason it has such a wide area of use is that it can be easily adapted to every project thanks to its modular structure.
Advantages
- High Thermal Insulation: Thanks to the filling material, it prevents energy loss to a great extent.
- Sound Insulation: Reduces noise pollution.
- Fire Resistance:Rock wool filled models provide fire safety.
- Aesthetic Appearance: It offers architectural aesthetics with different colors and surface patterns.
- Fast Installation: It can be applied in a short time thanks to its lightweight structure.
- Long-lasting:When applied correctly, it has a service life of 30 years or more.
