Insulated sandwich panels
What Are Insulated Sandwich Panels?
Insulated Sandwich Panels (ISP) have been used for commercial construction in Australia for the past 50 years. Insulated Sandwich Panels (ISP) are made when three separate elements are “sandwiched together” to form one structure, see Diagram 1. The combined properties of the high tensile and compressive strength of the outer steel skins and the high shear strength of the inner core leads to a building material which has a much longer spanning capacity and is lighter in weight than traditional building materials.
The most common cores used in Insulated Sandwich Panel (ISP) construction are Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Polyurethane Foam (PUR), Polyisocyanurate Foam (PIR) and Mineral Wool (MRF) or Rock Fibre.
