The sandwich panels are the best option for enclosing prefabricated industrial buildings due to the many significant advantages they offer over other alternatives. If you are not yet aware of the advantages that make this the most recommended solution, we will show you the main ones so you can see for yourself their importance and the benefits they bring to your project.

Sandwich panels: The best option for enclosing your industrial buildings
The sandwich panel is a rigid double-sheet panel with an insulating core. The outer faces are made of profiled steel that can have different finishes. Depending on the needs of each building due to its use or location, these panels can be of different thicknesses.
At VALL we offer you the possibility of choosing sandwich panels as enclosures for prefabricated aluminum industrial buildings or steel. Regardless of whether this is also the material chosen for the roof or you opt for others such as translucent or opaque textile canvas or prefabricated buildings with TWS roofs.
Economic solution with quick and easy installation
Considering both the speed of its installation and its low price, sandwich panels are an unbeatable option. The installation of these panels is quick and easy, thus reducing the installation costs of prefabricated industrial buildings. And it allows for quicker operational readiness.
Therefore, it is a choice that offers better and faster profitability. And it is the most suitable material for industrial buildings that require quick commissioning, whether for occasional use or because the company needs this solution in the shortest possible time.
Lightweight and resistant sandwich panels: greater durability and safety
These are two very advantageous characteristics. The lightweight nature reduces transportation costs and allows for quicker and more economical installation. The mechanical and fire resistance results in greater durability and less deterioration from impacts, strong winds, hail, and other incidents. It is also resistant to corrosion.
This positively influences both their long service life and the safety of goods and people.
All VALL sandwich panels for buildings are subjected to tests that guarantee their resistance to compression, traction, and tension. They also do not have specific maintenance needs, which results in significant savings throughout their long service life.
Adaptability to the measure of each project.
Each project has different needs. Due to the climatic and environmental conditions of its location, the intended use of the space, wind loads, among other reasons. Even for the aesthetic image that some brands and large companies want to convey, staying true to their corporate colors.
Sandwich panels allow great adaptability to the project’s needs. Thus, you can choose from different thicknesses and various finishes. You can even choose different materials for the core of each panel.
All VALL sandwich panels comply with strict European quality and safety standards. However, some projects have even more demanding requirements, such as fire resistance. These panels can provide that superior safety in projects that need it.
Thermal insulation and energy efficiency of sandwich panels for industrial buildings.
Good thermal insulation is key to reducing energy consumption needs inside the buildings. Sandwich panels have an insulating core that, depending on the case, can be made of different materials. Their excellent thermal insulation capacity allows for cooler interiors in summer and warmer interiors in winter with lower heating and cooling costs.
This in turn represents a significant economic saving on energy supplies to provide a comfortable interior temperature. Reducing heat transfer on surfaces is especially important for prefabricated industrial buildings that house goods or items that need to be kept within a specific temperature range for safety or to maintain their quality and functionality.
Additionally, this helps to prevent condensation moisture, which contributes to the preservation of the goods housed in the building.
Bidirectional acoustic insulation.
Another important reason why sandwich panels are an advantageous enclosure solution for industrial buildings is their acoustic insulation capability.
These panels prevent the propagation of noise between the interior and exterior of the building, in both directions. Thus, the interior receives less noise from the outside, which in industrial or traffic areas helps to have quieter and more comfortable interiors.
And when used in buildings that house industrial work generating loud noise, they keep it inside, reducing the amount of noise that escapes outside. This, in industrial environments with other buildings, other economic activities around, or a nearby population, helps with coexistence by preventing complaints about noise disturbances. And in remote areas surrounded by natural spaces, it causes less disturbance to the local wildlife.
Sustainability.
As you can deduce from the above advantages, sandwich panels for industrial buildings are sustainable enclosure solutions.
Their easy installation reduces environmental impact. Their resistance and durability reduce the need for replacement, helping to avoid waste and consume fewer raw materials. Their good energy efficiency reduces energy consumption needs. And their outer faces are made of steel, a recyclable material.
