One of the most commonly used building materials in recent times is sandwich panels. Their sizes can be absolutely diverse. They are used in almost all types of construction.
Slope sandwich panel
Since windows are one of the main components in every room, their decoration does not take the last place. Slopes on plastic windows can be finished with high quality and easily using sandwich panels.
This construction detail is an element ready for installation consisting of polystyrene foam “filling” and facing sheets. In addition, the convenience of this building material lies in the fact that they can be installed with your own hands. They give the window an aesthetic appearance and are characterized by low thermal conductivity, which allows for a long time to maintain a stable temperature in the room.
Roofing and wall sandwich panel
From these building materials it is very easy and fast to build a building for any purpose, which is why they began to be in demand. They consist of external profiled steel sheets , and the insulation serves as a kind of “filling” the sandwich panel. The sizes of panels for walls can be various, for example: length - 1000-12000 mm, height - 1185 or 1200 mm, thickness - from 50 to 250 mm.
There are mineral wool and polystyrene foam types of panels, where the quality of thermal insulation depends on the type. Sizes within the specified limits are chosen by the customer, based on the requirements of the design. Also,
wall panels are characterized by soundproof ability, weight and fire resistance. Depending on these characteristics, the desired model is selected. The choice in this case is made depending on the design purpose. In addition to the above-described characteristics of materials intended for the construction of the outer walls of buildings and internal partitions in rooms, roof panels also have their own specific characteristics. Their required thickness depends on the wind load on the building, the required degree of thermal insulation and strength. The facing material of the sandwich panel is also important. The dimensions are mainly independent of the facing material, which can be gypsum board, ceramic, fiberboard, steel, chipboard or aluminum.
What are useful sandwich panels
The sizes of these building materials are very diverse, which somewhat facilitates the construction process itself. It is important that the construction time of technical buildings from sandwich panels is reduced by 7-8 times compared with the construction of buildings using traditional materials. In addition, the panels have become popular due to their low cost. In addition, due to the heat-insulating ability of sandwiches, the cost of heating buildings built from such materials is significantly reduced. A variety of models and different types of fillers make it possible to construct original buildings and premises, and the relatively low weight of the material facilitates its installation and transportation. Now it’s worth answering the question: “Should you trust the classics or, nevertheless, is it more profitable to use modern technology?”
