What is the sandwich panel?
Sandwich panel is a type of prefabricated building material that has recently entered the market and has gained great popularity. The sandwich panel consists of three layers, the middle layer of the panel is also called the core and is made of insulating foam, and foams such as polyurethane, polystyrene, XPS and rock wool are used. And its two outer layers are made of metal sheets such as galvanized sheet, aluzinc and aluminum. These three layers have the shape of a hamburger sandwich with each other, which is why it is called a sandwich panel.
Sandwich panel types
Sandwich panels are made of two types of wall and ceiling, which we will discuss more about in the following:
Wall sandwich panel
As its name suggests, this type of panel is used to cover and insulate structures. The applications of wall sandwich panels can be mentioned in the construction of sheds, sheds, cargo rooms, prefabricated structures, cold storage, etc. In addition to being used to cover the walls of structures, sandwich wall panels are also used in some cases, such as cold storage, for the roof.
Ceiling sandwich panel
As the name suggests, the roof panel is used to cover and insulate the structures, and it provides proper insulation of the roofs so that moisture does not enter the structure. The applications of ceiling panels can be mentioned in the construction of sheds, cargo rooms, warehouses, airports, hospitals, field camps, etc.
Sandwich panels also exist in two other types of sandwich panels, cold room and clean room.
Cold room sandwich panel
Another type of panel is the refrigerator sandwich panel, which, as the name suggests, is used for large refrigerators that are responsible for storing food such as meat and chicken to create an isolated environment with a suitable and cool temperature.
Cold stores store a large amount of food such as meat and chicken daily in order to prevent these foods from spoiling and to keep them at a suitable temperature. These refrigerators have very strong compressor motors, whose energy source is electricity, which keeps the temperature of the refrigerator cool and does not heat up, and prevents spoilage of food such as meat products.
Now, the use of sandwich panels in cold stores has made us have a more isolated environment, which causes less electricity consumption, and as a result of reducing electricity consumption, we have also saved energy, which makes the price of the cold store more economical.
Clean room sandwich panel
Another type of panels that are very useful and special in the pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industry, laboratories and isolated environments is the clean room sandwich panel.
One of the features of clean room sandwich panels is proper insulation against cold and heat. The clean room sandwich panel is used in very sensitive industries and is known by this name because it has an isolated and clean environment.
Among the applications of clean room sandwich panel, we can mention the use in the pharmaceutical, medical, laboratory and computer parts industry. The main use of the clean room panel is in operating rooms because the operating room is an environment that must be isolated and clean because the place It is a surgery, that's why clean room sandwich panels are used.
Foam types in the sandwich panel
Types of sheets in the sandwich panel
The two outer layers of the sandwich panel are made of metal sheets, and these sheets are responsible for protecting the foam between the panels, that's why they use very resistant and strong sheets in the panel to protect the panel well. The following items can be mentioned from the famous sheets used in sandwich panels:
Galvanized sheet
Aluzinc sheet
Aluminum sheet
The benefits of using sandwich panels
As we said, sandwich panel is one of the modern materials that has entered the market in recent years and has almost replaced traditional materials such as cement and concrete and is widely used in the construction industry. One of the advantages of the sandwich panel, which has made it replace traditional materials, is its light weight. These panels have a very light weight compared to concrete and cement, and their transportation is easier, and it also makes building projects faster due to their light weight and ease of transportation, and the speed of the project is relatively More than traditional materials.
Another advantage of sandwich panel is its cost-effectiveness, so it is much less expensive than cement and concrete, which are traditional materials, which is one of its most important advantages. Very high resistance to pressure and impact, resistant to moisture and corrosion, suitable insulation against moisture, cold and noise, and high useful life are other advantages of sandwich panels that have made it popular.
Application of sandwich panel
Sandwich panel is one of the most widely used materials in the building and construction industry today. During the time it has been introduced, it has been very prosperous and has been able to find a good position in the construction industry. The main and most common use of sandwich panels is in the construction of sheds, which use two types of wall and ceiling sandwich panels to build sheds.
Among the other applications of sandwich panels, we can mention the construction of sheds, clean rooms, cold storage, airports, cargo handling rooms, hospitals, building construction, prefabricated villas, sports halls, recreational camps, trailer construction, etc. .
In the following, we will give a brief explanation of each of the sandwich panel applications.
Sandwich panel application in niches
In the past, traditional materials such as cement and brick were used to build sheds, but with the passage of time and the advancement of technology, mordan materials have replaced traditional materials, one of which is sandwich panel.
Nowadays, old materials such as cement and bricks are no longer used to build sheds, especially sheds that have a large area, because they are both time-consuming and expensive, so sandwich panels are used. One of the features of using sandwich panels in the construction of sheds is their light weight, and installation of sandwich panels takes less time than traditional materials, and they are easier to install, and they are also very economical in terms of price.
