Sandwich Panels: The Best Option for Enclosing Your Prefabricated Buildings

The sandwich panels are the best option for the enclosing of prefabricated industrial buildings due to the many significant advantages they offer over other alternatives. If you are not yet familiar with the advantages that make this the most recommended solution, we will show you the main ones so you can see for yourself their importance and the benefits they bring to your project.

The sandwich panel is a rigid panel with double sheet metal and an insulating core. The exterior faces are made of profiled steel, which can have different finishes. Depending on the needs of each building, whether for its intended use or its location, these panels can come in different thicknesses.  At VALL, we offer you the possibility to choose sandwich panels as enclosing for aluminum prefabricated industrial buildings or steel ones. Regardless of whether this is also the material chosen for the roof or if you opt for others such as translucent or opaque textile fabric, or if it is about prefabricated buildings with TWS roofing.

Regarding both the speed of installation and their low cost, sandwich panels are an unbeatable choice. The installation of these panels is quick and simple, reducing the installation costs of prefabricated industrial buildings. And they allow for faster operational readiness. 

For this reason, it is a choice that offers better and faster profitability. It is the most suitable material for industrial buildings that require rapid commissioning, whether for occasional use or because the company requires this solution in the shortest time possible.

These are two highly advantageous characteristics. The lightweight nature reduces transportation costs and allows for faster and more economical assembly. The mechanical and fire resistance results in greater durability and less wear against impacts, strong winds, hail, and other events. It is also corrosion-resistant. This positively affects both its long service life and the safety of goods and people. 

All sandwich panels for VALL buildings are subjected to tests that ensure their resistance to compression, traction, and tension. Additionally, they do not require specific maintenance, representing significant savings throughout their long lifespan.

Each project has different needs based on the climatic and environmental conditions of its location, the intended use of the space, wind loads, and other reasons. Even aesthetic requirements for some brands and large companies seeking to stay true to their corporate colors can play a role.  Sandwich panels allow for great customization to meet project requirements. Different thicknesses and finishes can be chosen, and even the core material of each panel can vary. All sandwich panels from VALL comply with strict European quality and safety standards. However, some projects require even stricter standards, such as higher fire resistance. These panels can provide enhanced safety for projects that demand it. Good thermal insulation is key to reducing energy consumption needs inside the buildings. Sandwich panels have an insulating core, which can be made from various materials. Their excellent thermal insulation capabilities ensure cooler interiors in summer and warmer interiors in winter, with lower heating and cooling costs.  This also results in significant cost savings on energy supplies to provide a comfortable interior temperature. Reducing heat transfer on surfaces is especially important for prefabricated industrial buildings housing goods or items that need to remain within a specific temperature range for safety or quality preservation.

Additionally, this helps prevent condensation humidity, contributing to the preservation of the goods stored inside.

Another compelling reason why sandwich panels are an advantageous enclosing solution for industrial buildings is their acoustic insulation capabilities.  These panels prevent noise from propagating between the interior and exterior of the building in both directions. Thus, less noise enters the interior, creating quieter and more comfortable environments, particularly in industrial zones or areas with high traffic.  When used in buildings where industrial activities generate significant noise, they contain the noise within, reducing its external impact. This aids in harmonious coexistence in industrial areas with other businesses, nearby populations, or natural surroundings, reducing potential noise complaints and disturbances to wildlife. As you can deduce from the advantages mentioned above, sandwich panels for industrial buildings are sustainable enclosing solutions.  Their easy installation reduces environmental impact. Their resistance and durability lower replacement needs, helping to avoid waste and reduce raw material consumption. Their good energy efficiency decreases energy consumption. Additionally, their exterior faces are made of steel, a recyclable material.
