PIR boards
PIR panels - polyurethane foam sandwich panels
PIR boards
Modern construction is making ever higher demands. It is not only construction time and costs that count, but also energy efficiency and safety. This is why sandwich panels have become so popular. PIR composite panels, which combine all these features, deserve special attention. It is a solution that works for almost any project, from large industrial halls to smaller agricultural buildings.
PIR sandwich panels - what are they and what makes them different?
Izopanel composite panels are a modern building material. They consist of two facings, usually made of steel, and an insulating core sandwiched between them. In the case of PIR panels, this core is made of rigid polyisocyanurate foam. This is what gives them their unique properties.
In the case of PIR panels, this core is made of rigid polyurethane foam containing polyisocyanurate bonds. It is this chemical structure, which gives PIR sandwich panels their greater rigidity, hardness and higher fire resistance. The chemical method of synthesising PIR core - which differs from the method of synthesising traditional PUR - makes it possible to obtain a more resistant, more stable and more durable product with higher insulation parameters.
Key benefits of sandwich panels with PIR core
The popularity of this material has not come out of nowhere. PIR sandwich panels offer a whole set of benefits that are important to builders, designers and contractors.
Excellent thermal insulation
This is one of the biggest advantages. The PIR core has a very low thermal conductivity coefficient. This means that it effectively retains heat inside the building in winter and protects against heat in summer. And this translates into real savings. Lower heating and air conditioning bills are a benefit you will feel for many years to come.
High fire resistance
Safety is key. PIR boards have enhanced fire resistance compared to other insulation materials. On contact with fire, a charred layer forms on the surface of the core, which slows the spread of flames. This gives more time for evacuation and rescue operations.
Low weight and quick installation
The slabs are lightweight, making them easy to transport and install. They do not overload the building structure, so lighter and cheaper foundations can be used. Assembly is quick and easy, as the slabs are prefabricated elements. This makes construction go more smoothly and saves you time and money.
Durability for years
PIR core boards are resistant to moisture, fungi, mould and pests such as mice and moles. They do not lose their properties over time and are weatherproof. It is an investment that provides peace of mind for years to come, without the need for constant repair and maintenance.
Where are PIR foam boards used?
Versatility is another word that describes PIR foam boards well. They work well in various types of construction. They are most commonly found in:
- Industrial and production halls, where speed of construction and good insulation are important.
- Logistics centres and warehouses that need to maintain a constant temperature.
- Commercial facilities such as supermarkets and shopping malls.
- Cold stores and freezers, as PIR insulates very well even at very low temperatures.
- Agricultural buildings, such as poultry sheds or fruit and vegetable stores.
- Sports facilities and public buildings.
Virtually anywhere where a durable, aesthetically pleasing and warm wall cladding is needed or a roof, PIR panels will be a good choice.
PIR boards - price and key technical parameters
Many people wonder what the price of PIR board is. There is no single answer, as the cost depends on several factors. The most important of these are the thickness of the core, the type and thickness of the steel facings and the size of the order.
The thickness of a board has a direct impact on its insulating properties. For example, 100mm/120mm PIR boards are a popular choice for buildings where thermal requirements are standard. But much thicker boards are available, for example for cold stores. The thicker the core, the better the insulation, but also the higher the price.
However, it is worth looking at this expense as an investment. Better insulation means lower operating costs of the building in the future. That is why it is best to consult an expert who can help you find the perfect solution for your project.
