Environmental effects of sandwich panels

Introduction:

Sandwich panels are known as widely used building materials in modern industrial construction. With features such as light weight, the best insulation of heat and cold, and resistance to different weather conditions, these materials have quickly opened their place in the world market. However, their environmental impacts are still an issue that needs to be investigated.

It goes without saying that sandwich panels, due to their technical and functional characteristics, have become one of the most popular items in the construction industry in recent decades. These products provide the possibility of reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Also, their high resistance to different weather conditions such as wind, rain and temperature changes has made these products increasingly successful in the global market. On the other hand, due to the complexity of the production processes and the materials used in the construction of these panels, the environmental effects related to them are also an issue that needs careful attention and investigation. In this article, we intend to comprehensively review these effects and examine the positive and negative points related to the use of sandwich panels.

Advantages:

One of the environmental benefits of sandwich panels is reducing energy consumption in buildings. Thanks to the excellent thermal and cold insulation properties of this product, these panels help to reduce the need for heating and cooling in different seasons of the year, thereby facilitating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to reducing energy consumption, the use of sandwich panels can lead to a reduction in energy costs. This problem also helps to reduce the pressure on energy distribution networks and reduce the consumption of fossil resources. Also, by using sandwich panels, it is possible to implement more complex and beautiful building designs, which are also considered environmentally sustainable. These panels prevent the waste of energy resources by having a long life and requiring little maintenance.

Conclusion:

Finally, despite the environmental benefits of sandwich panels, there is still a need to pay special attention to their possible negative impacts. With further research and implementation of sustainable solutions, it is possible to exploit the beneficial properties of this product, while minimizing their environmental impact.

What is a sandwich panel?

Sandwich panel:

It is called a wall or a roof that consists of light compounds and is limited to two layers of sheets on both sides, and there is an insulation layer in between. Sandwich panels are usually made of materials such as polyurethane, XPS, polystyrene, rock wool, and Glass wool is produced. The central core is usually composed of materials such as polyurethane, glass wool, rock wool, polystyrene and XPS, which reduces the weight of the sandwich panel. It is surrounded by materials such as pre-painted Aluzinc sheet, galvanized sheet or pre-painted aluminum, which has good resistance to environmental conditions.

Upper metal sheet:

The first and most important components of the sandwich panel are the upper metal sheets. This part of the sandwich panel can be called the most important and main part of this product. The upper sheet is the first part of the structure that is related to external factors. If this part does not have enough strength and resistance, penetration into other parts will be easily possible.

Important points regarding the upper metal sheets:

During the production of these sheets, their thickness cannot exceed a certain limit. The standard thickness of the sheets should be around 4 to 5 mm. Normally, if we intend to increase the strength of these sheets, we can profile them. did Profiling metal sheets means to create patterns on the surface of the sheets. Among the most common methods of profiling, we can mention trapezoidal, wavy and checkered designs. The reason for choosing outer sheets made of steel and aluminum is that they showed the best performance in the tests performed on them.

Bottom metal sheet:

Among other components of the sandwich panel, the bottom sheet that is installed behind the product is supposed to be placed inside the structure, so it is important to pay attention to the design of this part. Since sandwich panels are produced and supplied in a wide range of colors, we can give you the assurance that you will not have to worry about the appearance of your building.

Important points regarding the lower metal sheets:

This group of sheets, unlike the outer sheets, are placed in the inner part of the structure. The outer sheets are more exposed to destructive factors, so they must be produced with a higher thickness, while the lower sheets are placed in the inner part of the structure. and not dealing with external factors, they don’t need high thickness. The material of the outer and inner sheets can be the same, in this case, harmony in the structure of the structure is maintained. In some cases, due to technical and specialized reasons, the walls of sheds or factories are made of sandwich Panels are not made, in this case, after building the wall with traditional materials, sandwich panels are installed on it. In such cases, the inner sheet will be removed from the sandwich panel structure.

 

central core:

The central core is another component of the sandwich panel, which is made of insulating foam. The most important task of this section is to isolate the sandwich panel against heat and sound.

 

Important points regarding the central core:

In the not-so-distant past, glass wool and stone wool were used for the middle core of sandwich panels. Maybe in some collections they still use this type of material, but according to global standards, it is currently the best material for the middle core of insulating foam. The injection of insulating foam between two sheets is done when two sandwich sheets The panel is pre-heated and is subjected to pressure accordingly. The thickness of the foam used in this product is negotiable depending on the opinion of the buyer. To determine the thickness of the foam density that can be produced in sandwich panels, the conditions and the place where the sandwich panel is to be used should be considered.

 

Types of sandwich panel central core:

Among the most common and famous insulating foams that are used to complete the sandwich panel components, the following can be mentioned:

Polyurethane foam, glass wool, polystyrene foam, rock wool

 

Galvanized sheet:

If you cover iron metal with a layer of zinc metal, you get a galvanized sheet. The zinc metal layer makes this sheet highly resistant to rust and corrosion. This method of strengthening the steel sheet is known as galvanization. Galvanized sheet is produced in various brands in Iran, and its type and quality must be ensured for its preparation.

 

How to produce galvanized sheet:

At the beginning of the galvanized sheet production line, the incoming coils from the cold rolling line are connected to form a continuous strip. After passing through this production stage, the washing part begins, in which it is degreased by alkaline substances and completely cleaned by brushing and washing with warm water. Finally, these sheets must be dried, which is done with hot air.

Application of galvanized sheet:

  • Panel
  • Electricity
  • shutter
  • air channel
  • petrochemical
  • Cable tray
  • Sandwich panel
  • Refrigeration

 

Aluzinc sheet:

Aluzinc increases the resistance of steel against corrosion. The thickness of the sheets is made of Alozinc material 0.5 mm in different colors and 25 micron thick super polyester in the outer layer and 7 micron inner primer color in the connection between the sheet and the foam, which prevents corrosion.

 

Aluzinc sheet alloys:

  • zinc 43.4%
  • Silicon 1.6%
  • Aluminum 55%

 

Aluzinc sheet application:

Sandwich panel, rebar, pharmaceutical and food industries, health industries and petrochemical industries are other uses of Aluzinc S sheet. Aluzinc roof sandwich panel and wall sandwich panel are used in high acidity environment and dense industrial space.

 

Aluminum sheet:

This type of sheet is made of aluminum metal and is used in both ceiling and wall designs, which have different designs and prices of sandwich panels.

Features of aluminum sheet:

  • fragility
  • being light
  • packing
  • being stainless
  • bendable
  • construction
  • High durable goods
  • Transportation Industry

Conclusion:

Iron and aluminum metals have the highest usage rates in the sandwich panel industry. Due to the superiority of some features such as long life, higher resistance and affordable price of Aluzinc sheet (a combination of aluminum and zinc) compared to aluminum sheet, it is used more in sandwich panel production.

What are the characteristics of a standard sandwich panel?

The standard sandwich panel is also known as the composite panel and consists of two parallel sheets that contain an insulating material in between. Thinness is one of the main characteristics of the sheets, and these sheets are not very thick by themselves; But the combination of layers and insulation between them creates a light but at the same time rigid composition. In fact, the competitive advantage of this product is that the technical characteristics of metal and insulation are integrated and the combined structure will have valuable advantages in all respects. What you read in this article is an important part of the properties and advantages of standard sandwich panels, knowing them will ensure a smart choice for covering the shed or production hall.

In order to make a standard sandwich panel, coated metal sheets should be used that are covered by appropriate coatings. These sheets are sometimes even used alone to cover the roof of the shed, and this time by being in the sandwich panel structure, they create a product with greater strength and more benefits; A product whose three key components should be considered “inner sheet”, “insulating material” and “external sheet”. The standard sandwich panel in its current form was introduced to the construction market in 1960 and has continued to grow as a widely used element in the market. These panels are used in today’s construction to cover walls and ceilings, and in this respect, there is no difference between industrial structures and commercial buildings.

Standard sandwich panel strength and easy to carry


When designing, regardless of whether the relevant product is going to be used in the wall or roof of the shed, it should be noted that the panels must be strong enough to withstand the incoming forces. There are many forces on the standard sandwich panel, the most important of which are as follows:

  • Load due to the panel’s own weight: Sandwich panels must be strong enough to support their own weight.
  • Loads caused by wind, snow and rain: depending on the geography and environmental conditions, the strength of the panel should be managed.
  • Loads during installation: This product should not be damaged by any pressure during installation.

The selection of the top and bottom sheets as well as the selection of the material and thickness of the middle insulation is done in such a way that the produced panel can have the necessary resistance and strength against the result of the forces coming from all three categories. Another point that must be considered is the temperature difference and, as a result, the expansion and contraction that will occur in the metal frame; Obviously, if this issue is not observed, even this product will likely suffer serious damage and destruction. To compensate for this, the installation details are adjusted so that each panel has a two-way freedom of movement so that it can easily expand or contract.

Standard sandwich panel against wind and rain


In addition to paying attention to the flexibility of the joints used in sandwich panels, the sealing and air sealing of these products should also be considered, and this issue is considered a main and fundamental issue in the implementation of various types of thin coatings such as sandwich panels. Because these coatings expand and contract faster compared to roofs covered with bricks or prefabricated concrete, which is called destructive temperature difference. The old coverings that used traditional materials absorbed water and were known as water-absorbing covering materials.

But non-absorbent surfaces such as metals and glass cause water to flow on the surface, which increases the risk of water leaking behind the cover and inside the space. For this reason, all the seams of the standard sandwich panel, which are prone to water penetration (especially in rainy areas), will be sealed first and then they will install rain catchers on them. It is not bad to know that ordinary sealants are quickly destroyed by sunlight and weather changes and suffer from quality loss, so they are not suitable for sandwich panels at all.

 

Sandwich panel style thermal insulation


The issue of managing energy consumption and preventing wastage of resources is one of the concerns of today’s world, and the world of industry is no exception. The energy consumption of buildings, both industrial, commercial and residential, has a significant effect on this issue; Because buildings have a very high energy consumption, which depends on many factors.

One of these factors is preventing heat exchange between the inside and outside of the structure. Standard sandwich panel can be considered a very suitable insulation for heat due to the existence of an insulating core between two metal plates. But a very important point that should be taken into account in this field is to avoid thermal bridges in the design and implementation of the panel as much as possible. Thermal bridging means the physical connection between two metal layers, which must be prevented.

 

Acoustic sandwich panel


The amount of sound transmission and sound reflection from the standard sandwich panel to the outside is a very important indicator that should be well considered. The intensity of transmitted sound in industrial environments depends on the background noise; This means that the higher the background noises, the less annoying industrial noises will be.

Sound is transmitted in two ways: airborne (transmission through air molecules) and impact (transmission through frame to frame of the structure), in both cases, the insulation in the sandwich panel is capable of good resistance to sound propagation. to show The greater the overall thickness of the standard sandwich panel, the better overall sound insulation.

Usually, if the material and thickness of the sheet is chosen carefully and the type of insulation and the diameter of the foam used are selected correctly, this shed cover is able to provide a good acoustic standard. If reducing the sound reflection inside the hall is of particular importance to you, we recommend that you definitely use a panel with an internal mesh surface that has a brilliant performance in sound absorption.

 

What is a ceiling sandwich panel?

Roof sandwich panel, as the name suggests, is used for roof covering. The ceiling sandwich panel, like the wall sandwich panels, has a three-layer structure. The middle layer, or the insulation inside the sandwich panels, is made of polyurethane, which is a good insulator against temperature, sound, etc.

The top material of Kian Panel sandwich panels is one of galvanized, Aluzinc or aluminum sheet.

As a new generation of building materials, sandwich panels have replaced traditional building materials with the aim of improving the performance of roof structures in different weather conditions such as snow, rain, and intense sunlight, to redefine safety and efficiency in the construction industry.

Types of Kian ceiling sandwich panels:

  • Double-sided roof sandwich panel
  • Roof sandwich panel, one side sheet and one side kraft paper
  • Roof sandwich panel, one side sheet and one side aluminum foil

Reasons to use:

Due to internal and external environmental factors such as sunlight, air humidity, noise, rain and snow, roof panels are used on the roofs of industrial, commercial, agricultural and factories buildings, which of course are mainly used in industry. Sandwich ceiling panel is very similar to its wall type, which is produced by placing stone wool or polystyrene or polyurethane between two layers of steel or aluminum. The most important factor in choosing the type of ceiling panel is the ingredients between two metal sheets, which are produced according to the needs and places of use by the customer.

The dimensions of the ceiling sandwich panel

  • The thickness of the product varies from 4-5-8-10 cm, which is used in the construction of cold stores from the size of 8 cm and above.
  • Its useful width is 1.8 cm, of which 7 cm is the overlap.
  • The length of the product varies from 2 to 12 cm according to the customer’s needs.

Advantages of use:

  • Resistant to rust and corrosion
  • Resistant to the growth of fungi and weeds
  • Sound and energy insulation
  • Being washable
  • Ease of installation and implementation of the panel
  • High strength while having high resistance
  • Earthquake Resistant
  • Resistant to insects
  • High quality and efficiency of the product while being affordable

installation method

While installing the panel is a very simple task, due to the installation of this product at a height (roof of the building) and being exposed to rain and snow, attention must be paid to its proper installation and insulation. The installation of the panels is done by means of galvanized screws with washers, in such a way that the screws connect the roof to the frame of the structure, and then the screws are secured by a rubber washer, which prevents the penetration of rain.

 

Flushing and its types

Flushing

Flushing or bent metal sheets are products that are used for sealing and beautifying the structure, and its applications can be used for flushes, vertical flushes, concave flushes, curve flushes, longitudinal and transverse flushes. And he mentioned …

  • How to install panel and flushing?

The panels, whether it is a type of roof or a type of wall, are placed next to each other in male and female form and then it is screwed on the structure, roof Z or any other type of infrastructure that is planned for the structure. In order to maintain the beauty of the structure in some corners of the project, or to guide the rainwater at the end of the edges of the ceiling panels, according to the opinion of the consultant or the project designer, flushing (they say flushed sheet) is also used.
