What is a sandwich panel made of?

A sandwich panel typically consists of three layers. Two outer layers are facings or skins, and a core material is in between. The facings are usually made of aluminum, steel, fiberglass, or reinforced plastics, providing structural support and protection. The core material, often made of foam, polyurethane, polystyrene, or mineral wool, contributes to insulation and rigidity, creating a lightweight yet durable construction material suitable for various applications in building and construction.

What is the main reason for fabricating sandwich panels?

The primary reason for fabricating sandwich panels is to create a lightweight yet strong building material with excellent insulation properties. Sandwich panels provide structural integrity while reducing weight, making them ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries. Additionally, their insulation capabilities make them valuable in construction for maintaining indoor temperatures and reducing energy consumption. Lastly, sandwich panels offer versatility, allowing customization to meet specific design and functional requirements in various applications.

What are the disadvantages of sandwich panels?

Some disadvantages of sandwich panels include potential issues with moisture infiltration, especially if the panel's sealing is compromised. Fire resistance is also a concern, as certain core materials may not offer adequate fire protection. Additionally, sandwich panels may require careful handling during installation to prevent damage to the facings or core. In some cases, the initial cost of sandwich panels can be higher than traditional construction materials, although long-term energy savings may offset this. Finally, sandwich panels may not be suitable for applications requiring heavy load-bearing capabilities without additional reinforcement.

What are the characteristics of sandwich panels?

Sandwich panels are characterized by their lightweight nature, providing strength and durability while reducing overall weight in construction applications. They offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, contributing to building energy efficiency and soundproofing. Their modular construction allows easy installation and customization, making them versatile for various architectural designs and applications. Additionally, sandwich panels often feature good resistance to corrosion, weathering, and impact, enhancing their longevity and suitability for outdoor use.

Manufacturing of Sandwich Panels in Saudi Arabia

Quality Leaders Factory Sandwich panels are composite materials with a polyurethane core and two skins each. Roll-formed steel or aluminum coils make up the visible exterior skin, while aluminum foil is a possibility for the interior skin composed of the same material. When Manufacturing of Sandwich Panels with steel and aluminum coils, the outer and inner skins come in various profiles, thicknesses, coatings, and colors to match multiple exposure situations, needs, and architectural aesthetics. With an average density of 40 kg/m2, the fire-resistant polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) or sprayed polyurethane foam (PUR) makes up the polyurethane core.

The average foam thickness—omitting the corrugation ribs and the outer and inner skin’s contribution—is the basis for the thermal characteristics of the panels displayed in this brochure.

On request, a more thorough calculation of the thermal properties, including the analysis of the thermal properties of the corrugation ribs, can be given based on the material and thickness of the outer and inner skin.
