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
