Why metal insulating sandwich panel deliver specification and in-performance excellence through quality-controlled factory manufacturing

Metal insulating sandwich panels are a popular choice in modern construction due to their exceptional thermal performance, structural strength, and ease of installation. These panels, comprised of two outer pre-finished steel skins with a high-performance PIR insulating core, and are manufactured in strict compliance with European regulation BS EN 14509 to ensure the highest standards of quality and performance. 

 

The factory-controlled manufacturing process plays a crucial role in the consistency and reliability of insulated sandwich panels. With precision engineering, the materials used for the outer layers, Colorcoat pre-finished steel, are auto adhesively bonded to the insulating core under heat and pressure. This controlled environment ensures the perfect balance of materials, leading to uniformity in thermal conductivity, fire resistance and structural integrity.

By adhering to European standards such as BS EN 14509, Building Systems UK, a Tata Steel enterprise, ensure that their Trisomet®, Trimapanel® and Formawall® insulating sandwich panels meet specific performance criteria for a wide range of applications. These regulations dictate critical factors like thermal resistance, acoustic performance and fire safety, ensuring that the panels perform efficiently and safely over their lifetime.

 

Moreover, the quality-controlled production process guarantees that each panel is produced with minimal variation, ensuring compliant interfaces with secondary components, low levels of air permeation through joints, reduced thermal bridging and improving the overall integrity, weatherability and longevity of the building envelope – driving installation efficiency and durable real-world performance. The panels are also subject to rigorous testing, which further ensures compliance with environmental and sustainability directives and standards, supported by market leading Environmental Product Declarations.
