Why Use Color Steel Sandwich Panel?

Nowadays, color steel sandwich panel has been a common building material in our daily life. What’s it? Why use it? This article will answer these questions and help you know more about this kind of panel. 

What Is Color Steel Sandwich Panel?

In the most basic terms, a color steel sandwich panel refers to a sandwich because of the configuration of the color steel panels, used to clad the walls and roofs of buildings. It has three basic elements: the inner sheet, a low-density core, the outer sheet. The inner panel is often a flat sheet in order to suit all kinds of needs. The outer panel is finally designed according to the structure, strength as well as aesthetics.

What Are Advantages?

The reasons that have produced the rapid growth in the use of color sandwich panels include:

Low cost. Generally, the core material used in color panel is inexpensive but large in quantity, while the sheet is in high price but low usage. On the whole, the color steel sandwich panel is relatively cheap.

Light weight. The color coated sheet is less than 14 kg per square meter. Contrary to the traditional systems, it’s very easy to transport and use, which fully reduces the structural cost.

Quick installation. Installing sandwich panels is simple due to its light weight and optional cutting feature. Therefore, your project can be finished in a short span of time, allowing you to save time.

High durability. Many studies abroad have shown that this kind of color coated steel panel can last 20-30 years. If anti-corrosion paint is planned to spray every 10 years, it can live more than 50 years. 

Great resistance. Firstly, two sheets are well galvanized to provide corrosion resistance. Secondly, thermal and acoustic insulation and waterproofing, as well as fire resistance are largely guaranteed and better than PPGI roofing sheets. This is because the material of composite panel is a kind of non-combustible stuff with closed bubble molecular structure. It can effectively prevent condensation of water vapor and stop the unwanted sounds to create healthy and comfortable spaces.

Attractive appearance. It’s equipped with dozens of colors to choose from so as to meet any style of buildings.

High plasticity. The profiled steel panel can be cut arbitrarily to meet specific requirements.

High strength. Its substrate is often chosen in high tensile strength (5600 kg/cm2). And with the operation of the most advanced design and roll forming machine, it still performs well.

Wide application. Color sandwich panels are commonly used in applications where a combination of high structural rigidity and low weight is required. Here are some examples for your reference: large industrial workshop, warehouse, sports hall, refrigeration storage, clean room, etc. And some temporary facilities like office, warehouses, enclosing wall in construction, are also built by them, which reflects the civilized construction of modern age.

Less maintenance. Once completed correctly, it hardly takes time to maintain them thanks to their durable structure.

Eco-friendly choice. Because of its feature of easy mounting, you can carry on expansion or renovation works without interrupting daily activities in the building. What’s more, the panels are both economic and practical as they can be disassembled and reused, which causes the least harm to the environment.

From what we’ve mentioned, it seems that the color sandwich panel is both a fast and aesthetic solution and budget-friendly for its longevity. If you are also interested, you can try to use it when you build your house next time.
