Achieve Zero Energy Buildings With Efficient Construction From PUF Insulated Panels

Prefabricated structures and buildings have given a new meaning to construction. With the introduction of this innovative technology, buildings and enclosures with a specific sense of purpose can be achieved and thus greater efficiency is to be gained.

As practicality is the prime factor to consider whenever designing a building, the use of materials and components that enable the structure to deliver intended purpose is imperative. Pre-fabricated structures intended to be energy efficient and temperature controlled are offered envelopes of PUF insulated panels. These panels are leakproof and help maintain constant temperatures.

Insulated sandwich panels have certain specific features that make them stand out -

§  Cost-effectiveness

§  High insulation values

§  Fire and sound protection

§  Quick and easy installation

§  Pleasing aesthetic finishing         

Insulated sandwich panels are an increasingly popular option and with the emergence of prefab construction methods, the demand for the same has swelled.   

  

What are insulated panels?  

Structural insulated panels or insulated panels are composite building materials that form the envelope facets for walls and ceilings in prefabricated construction. Multiple layers of special materials are bonded together so that better structural integrity and thermal insulation can be achieved.

The most common construction of insulated panels involves a composite material sandwiched between structural layers so that overall durability and temperature insulation can be achieved.

PUF sandwich panels serve exceptional benefits and their range of utilization is diverse. The following are the advantages to gain from the use of composite panels in modern construction:

ü  Sandwich panels offer excellent thermal insulation and acoustic insulation properties. They are fire resistant as well and fight corrosion

ü  Offering a leakproof construction and isolating properties, sandwich panels are very energy efficient. Thus consistent temperatures can be maintained inside the enclosures enveloped in insulated sandwich panels.

ü  The Structural Insulation Panel (SIP) is an effective alternative to conventional masonry walls. Being lightweight and durable, these panels serve extended service spans and withstand harsh conditions as well.

ü  The sandwich panels are resistant to flames, corrosion, termites, physical impact and fungus

ü  Hassle-free installation and low maintenance requirements make the PUF panel fit for utilization in multiple structure types

ü  Low thermal conductivity helps in high energy savings and maintains a desired temperature
