INSULATED PUF/PIR PANEL
Insulated PIR (Polyisocyanurate) and PUR (Polyurethane) panels are advanced, high-performance sandwich panels designed to meet the stringent demands of modern construction.
These panels excel in providing superior thermal insulation, structural durability, and energy efficiency, making them ideal for applications like roofing, wall cladding, and cold storage facilities.
PIR panels, in particular, offer enhanced fire resistance, making them a preferred choice where fire performance is critical, while PUR panels are valued for their lightweight properties and effective insulation. Both options are engineered for quick installation and are highly effective at minimizing energy costs, contributing to sustainable and resilient building solutions.
PIR Panels (Polyisocyanurate)
Insulated PIR (Polyisocyanurate) and PUR (Polyurethane) panels are high-performance sandwich panels used for various applications in the construction industry. Both types of panels offer excellent thermal insulation, structural strength, and ease of installation, but there are some key differences between PIR and PUR in terms of fire performance and overall properties.
Applications:
-
Industrial and commercial buildings where fire resistance is a priority
-
Cold storage and temperature-controlled environments
-
Residential projects looking for energy efficiency and fire safety
PUR Panels (Polyurethane):
PUR panels are similar to PIR panels but use polyurethane as the insulation core. While PUR provides excellent thermal insulation, it has slightly lower fire resistance compared to PIR panels.
Key Features:
-
Thermal Performance: Like PIR, PUR panels provide excellent thermal insulation, making them highly energy-efficient. This is ideal for reducing energy costs in buildings that need temperature control. PUR panels are widely used in cold storage, commercial facilities, and residential applications where insulation performance is crucial.
-
Cost-Effectiveness: PUR panels are generally more affordable than PIR panels, making them a cost-effective choice for projects where fire resistance is not the top concern but thermal insulation is essential.
-
Lightweight and Easy to Install: PUR panels are lightweight and easy to handle during installation, making the construction process faster and more efficient.
-
Moisture Resistance: Polyurethane panels are also resistant to moisture, which helps prevent mold growth and maintain structural integrity in humid environments.
