Sandwich panels are a well-demanded material in the modern construction industry. They are structural elements consisting of three layers: two outer layers, usually made of metal, and an inner layer – insulation. This design gives the panels high thermal insulation properties and strength. In addition, they are characterized by good sound insulation, provide protection against moisture, fire and perform a number of other important functions.

Classification principles and types

Sandwich panels can be classified according to various criteria, including surface materials, type of insulation, connection method, and application. Let’s consider what types of products are distinguished according to each of the listed criteria.

Types of sandwich panels by surface materials

Metal sandwich panels. They have metal surfaces that provide high strength and protection from external influences. These panels are often used in industrial and commercial construction.

Wooden sandwich panels. They are made with wooden surfaces, which gives them a natural and attractive appearance. They are often used in residential construction and to create atmospheric interiors.

Types of sandwich panels by insulation

Polyurethane foam (PU) panels. They have high thermal insulation and strength, which makes them an ideal choice for the construction of buildings with energy efficiency requirements.

Mineral wool panels. They are made on the basis of mineral fibers, such as stone wool or fiberglass. Panels of this type cope well with sound insulation and fire resistance.

Types of sandwich panels by application

Wall sandwich panels. They are used for cladding the external walls of buildings, providing thermal insulation and protection from external influences.

Roof sandwich panels. They are used to create roof structures, creating reliable protection from atmospheric influences and thermal insulation.

Facade sandwich panels. They are used for finishing the facades of buildings, creating an aesthetic appearance and providing thermal insulation.

FAQ

Which sandwich panels are better suited for residential buildings? — Wooden sandwich panels are often chosen for residential buildings because of their natural appearance and thermal insulation properties.

What are the advantages of polyurethane foam panels? “This type is characterized by high thermal insulation, lightness and strength, which makes it an ideal choice for energy-efficient construction.

Can sandwich panels be used for sound insulation? — Yes, some types of sandwich panels, such as mineral wool, have good soundproofing properties and can be used for this purpose.

What is the most effective thickness of sandwich panels? – The thickness of sandwich panels depends on the specific requirements of the project and the level of thermal insulation. It is usually recommended to choose panels with a thickness of 50 to 200 mm, depending on the operating conditions.
