Metal insulating sandwich panels, smarter insulation for a greener future

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword it’s the future of construction. As the industry pushes for lower carbon footprints and higher energy efficiency, Trisomet®, Trimapanel® and Formawall® panels are leading the way with their superior PIR (polyisocyanurate) thermal performance. Designed for roof and wall applications, these insulated sandwich panels provide anenviable combination of insulation, fire resistance (LPCB & FM Global certified), and structural integrity, making them the smart choice for eco-conscious building projects.
 

At the core of Building Systems UK insulating sandwich panel success is its high-performing PIR insulation, delivering outstanding U-values, whilst reducing heat loss more effectively than traditional glass and mineral fibre insulations. This translates to reduced panel thicknesses, lower energy consumption, reduced operational costs, and improved sustainability credentials, all while ensuring comfortable indoor environments year-round. Whether you’re designing commercial, industrial, or agricultural buildings, Building Systems UK, insulating sandwich panels help you meet stringent Part L building regulations without compromise, supported by a Technical office who can provide u-value and condensation risk analysis calculations to support building warrant or regulatory compliance for each individual project and application.

But energy efficiency is just the beginning. Insulating sandwich panels also support circular economy principles, with steel being one of the most widely recycled construction products and with long-term guarantees on external coatings (40-years) then re-use is a viable principle in this product life cycle. Their lightweight, single-component construction speeds up installation, reducing on-site waste and emissions and with BREEAM and Green Guide ratings, they contribute to achieving sustainable building certifications helping businesses meet net-zero goals without sacrificing performance. 

In a world where energy costs are rising, and environmental impact matters more than ever, insulating sandwich panels offer the perfect balance of efficiency, durability, and sustainability. If your project demands cutting-edge insulation, with factory assured quality, superior aesthetic choice - backed by multi decade performance guarantees, Building Systems UK is the solution that builds a greener future one panel at a time.
