Sandwich Panels in Umm Al Quwain

Sandwich panels are also known as composite panels or structural insulating panels. They are used as external wall claddings in commercial, industrial and domestic buildings. It is a structured composite material which is fabricated by attaching two thin stiff sinks to a lightweight thick core. The thick core comprises of a low strength material with a good thickness which offers high bending stiffness. Sandwich panels find a wide range of applications in cold room walling, partition walling, aerospace, mobile homes, modular homes, aircraft and automobiles. It comes with a foam core which is sandwiched between the outer sheet and the inner sheet which is further mounted on the purlin.

There are different types of sandwich panels which include sandwich puff panels, insulation sandwich panel, acoustic metal sandwich panel, rigid sandwich insulation panel and EPS composite panel. Sandwich puff panels come with two facing panes which are relatively thin and comprise of sheet profiled high strength which is enclosed within a core. It has a greater thickness but is relatively light and stiff. The facings are made up of aluminium or steel. The average thickness of a puff panel ranges between -30 to 120 millimetre, an average width which ranges between -1,000 to 1,200 millimetres and a maximum length of 15 metres. An insulation sandwich panel is made up of a combination of wood and PVC foam which is waterproof. It is resistant to hydrocarbons, alkalis and corrosive acids. It can be used with polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resins.

Acoustic metal sandwich panels are light, resistant and incombustible thereby making them fire resistant. They are highly flexible and are used in a wide range of applications which include building interiors, exhibition design, sports stadium design, stands and much more. They come with a standard thickness ranging between 4 to 50 millimetre, a width which ranges between 1050 to 1200 millimetres and a length which does not exceed 5,000 millimetres. A rigid sandwich insulation panel is made up of wood and polystyrene which adds a crystalline effect to its appearance. Due to its appearance, it is used to cover walls and attics and widely used in interior designing.

The EPS composite panel is an expanded polystyrene panel which consists of two layers of weatherproof coloured steel sheet which is a jetted had form of polyurethane between two layers. It is a fireproof panel which is suitable for various roofs and walls which have a large thickness which ranges from 50 to 20 millimetres. The polyurethane sandwich panel is a light self-weight panel which is easy to install and does not require large lifting devices for construction. It has a thickness which ranges between 75 to 200 millimetres.

A typical sandwich panel comprises of an external face skin, an adhesive and an aluminium as the core. Structural insulated panels come with an exterior sheathing, a foam core and an interior sheathing. These panels are widely used in mobile homes, modular homes and other domestic applications. Some popular locations to get in touch with companies which provide sandwich panels in the UAE are Ras Al Khor, Al Jurf Industrial area Ajman, Deira city centre, New Industrial area, Karama, Al-Attar centre block B and Karama.
