Long gone are the days when the only type of buildings you could find was made up of brick and cement. Glass and metal buildings have been the rage across the industrial and commercial space. These buildings are not only sturdy but also aesthetically pleasing.
A more recent, emerging trend in the construction industry has been the popular use of Sandwich Panels in various establishments especially office buildings and warehouses.
As the name suggests, Sandwich Panels are metal panels that consist of an insulated layer in between two solid outer metal walls.
Sandwich Panels are prefabricated. These are pre-engineered panels manufactured in a quality-controlled environment for efficiency and precision.
Sandwich Panels offer the same features and advantages that regular concrete or wood materials consist. In fact, with of their characteristics, these panels have proven to be far more superior to traditional building materials.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits Sandwich Panels offer:
1. Sandwich Panels are highly efficient. They also offer mobility. These panels are the only type of building material which can be detached, moved and reconstructed without any damage or extra costs.
2. Since they are mobile, sandwich panels are easy and quick to transport to remote locations. Being light-weighted, cost of transportation is also cheaper than bricks and concrete.
3. Prefab Sandwich Panels are not just for temporary use. Due to high structural strength and rigid features, these panels offer long working life.
4. Sandwich Panels are modular, aesthetic in nature. They come in various designs, colors and can be easily customized to meet customer requirements.
5. Prefabricated Sandwich Panels are light in weight. Due to such lightweight panels, there is no need to equip heavy machinery for construction or extra manual labor hence, reducing the overall cost significantly.
6. Prefabrication, efficiency, light-weight features enable quick and easy construction. The panels can be erected within short span of time after being transported to the area of constructions.
7. Sandwich Panels are flexible and can be used horizontally as well as vertically. They are used to construct roofs, walls, partition walls, etc.
8. Sandwich Panels are Eco-friendly helping bring down energy costs. These panels are thermally efficient and can retain heat similar to a regular building.
9. Some other advantages include easy maintenance, water and fire proof. They are sufficiently sound-proof, corrosion & mold resistant.
With the advent of technology and advanced engineering solutions, traditional options are slowly giving way to innovative and modern construction methods. Use of Sandwich Panels has seen a significant increase across the construction industry and will only continue to grow!
