Boost up the Aesthetic Appeal of the Building with Sandwich Roofing Panels

The ultimate and most innovative discovery in the roofing space is none other than sandwich roofing. This is a membraned roof panel, particularly meant for low-slope terraced roofs. Comprising of 3-4 layers, this is a roof construction material that replaces the conventional single-skin roofs in no time.

A Sneak Peek  

Sandwich panels are modular building materials, used for roofing modern-day constructions. Consisting of multiple layers, this kind of panel is weather and heat-resistant. Moreover, the core of the material provides acoustic and thermal insulation characteristics. Sandwich panels are not structural but curtain materials, that are skinned between the top and the bottom metal sheet. Most of the sandwich panels used nowadays are polyurethane foam, commonly referred to as PUF and we at Roofmate have mastered the expertise in this space.

Production Process of Sandwich Polyurethane Foam (PUF) Panels 

Roofmate, the leading manufacturer of sandwich polyurethane foam (PUF) panels are one of the top-rated manufacturers in this domain. We at Roofmate use imported fully automated machinery on a continuous line and customise the design and size, specific to projects. The top-notch production process transforms both the metal and the foam layer into a composite, shear-resistant structural panel.

We source the PU chemicals from BASF- a reputed German company. We procure colour-coated steels from leading companies like Tata Steel, Tata BlueScope, JSW Group and Colorbond. At Roofmate, the panels are available in varying thicknesses; 20mm, 30mm and 50 mm. The sandwich roof comes with load-bearing facilities better than a single metal roof and can be used for a wide span of roofing area.

Sandwich Cladding Panels 

We at Roofmate also specialise in manufacturing sandwich cladding panels. It comprises three layers. The inner and outer sheets are made of PPGI steel and aluminium whereas the insulation core is made of polyurethane foam. The external cladding makes it perfect for the walls, partitions and roofs of industrial buildings, workplaces, schools and commercial spaces. Here the fabricated tongue and groove joints form a snug fit and maximum robustness.

Why use Sandwich Polyurethane Foam (PUF) Panels? A Host of Advantages 

The question, of why conventional single-skin metal roofs are replaced with sandwich panels can strike your mind and here is the discussion on this aspect. These panels have a host of advantages that make it a popular and smart choice.

• The sandwich polyurethane foam (PUF) panels manufactured by Roofmate are affordable. These panels are made of high-quality materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and wind, hence supremely cost-effective.
• Speaking of long life, the panels are resistant to corrosion, so these won't rust over time. Thereby the panels are robust and long-lasting.
• Another advantage that makes sandwich roof panelling a better choice is its energy-efficient nature. The panels are designed to have thermal insulation properties, hence they lower indoor temperature. It keeps the building cool in summer and warm in winter. It also helps in reducing heat loss. The sandwich PUF panels can insulate 1 lac times more than regular metal sheets. The insulation layer between the top and bottom metal sheets helps to prevent heat from penetrating the roof, which can help keep the indoor space cool in the summer and warm in winter.
• If any house is located in areas of heavy rainfall, sandwich roofing is the best choice. The panels manufactured by us at Roofmate have a watertight interlocking mechanism that prevents water from seeping through the roof, eventually preventing leakage.
• One of the most promising advantages of this type of roofing system is its sound insulation property. The insulation layer absorbs sound waves and prevents transmission of sound inside. Hence this type of roof prevents the sound of rain drops and helps in creating a peaceful ambience.
• Sandwich panels are easy to install, thus saving a lot of time and money for the project. Being compact and lightweight, these PUF panels can be set up seamlessly.
• Being durable, robust and weather-resistant, these roof panels are easy to maintenance.
• Sandwich panels come with amazing aesthetic appeal. They are typically available in a wide range of colours, and their glossiness adds to the overall look and feel of the house, church, factory or any commercial set-up. At Roofmate, we offer a spectrum of 24 shades. You can choose as per your taste and theme.

Application of Sandwich Roofing

Considering its advantages and features, sandwich roofing panels are used for various residential and commercial constructions. From factories, and stadiums, to malls to swimming pools, the sandwich roof panel is a durable and cost-effective solution for many buildings. Along with industrial buildings and social spaces, sandwich roofing comes to the forefront as a solution for agricultural buildings, military buildings, worksite buildings, prefabricated housing, dwellings and silos. However, these are used in various places as facades, refrigerated panels and roofing.

Roofing

As sandwich panels can withstand harsh weather conditions, it is ideal for roofing solutions. They are fixed to the structure with self-drilling screws. Such panels are often joined with sealing joints to ensure appropriate insulation and prevent leakage.

Facades

Sandwich panels are broadly used for constructing building facades, providing both insulation and visually aesthetic appeal. Such facades are seen in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, offering effective protection against humidity and heat dissipation.

Refrigerated Panels 

Owing to the property of thermal insulation, these sandwich roofs are also used in cold storage, cold rooms and refrigerated trucks. These PUF panels help in temperature control and maintain the necessary insulation.

Mobile Units

Sandwich roofing panels are used for constructing mobile units like mobile homes, containers, caravans and prefabricated buildings. They offer lightweight, long-lasting, and versatile solutions for temporary accommodations.

Fire-rated Doors

Sandwich roof panel sare used for making external and fire-rated doors that comply with safety and security standards. They comprise two metal sheets with a core of fire-resistant material like rock wool or mineral wool. 

Wrapping Up

Sandwich roofing is a popular choice nowadays and is replacing traditional metal roofing. We at Roofmate offer best-in-class sandwich polyurethane foam (PUF) panels for the construction of residential and commercial spaces. With unmatched expertise and import-quality machinery, Roofmate stands as the leading manufacturer of sandwich polyurethane foam (PUF) panels in the country.
