Why use insulated panels – benefits

Insulated panels are now confirmed as the most commonly used cladding system being used on 60% of all modern industrial and commercial buildings.

Quality roofing and cladding systems using factory engineered panels
One piece factory engineered panels mean that the technical performance and quality is guaranteed. Metal facings protect and enclose the core insulation thereby maintaining the thermal performance throughout the life of the panel.

Economically and technically proven
Over the past 30 years panels have evolved as a particularly economic and technically proven method of constructing the roofs and walls of buildings

Minimum risk
Insulated panels offer low risk with guaranteed technical performance to designers, installers and owners coupled to speed of installation

Meets latest regulations
Continual development has enabled insulated panels to satisfy the exacting demands of modern architectural design and also to meet the increasing technical requirements to satisfy new government and environmental regulations

Insulated panels deliver benefits

The unique advantages of insulated panels make insulated panels such a valuable resource to create buildings that are both aesthetically pleasing and offer guaranteed in service performance.

One piece factory engineered product – simplicity of construction
Speed of construction – quicker amortisation
Factory installed quality – guaranteed performance
