Sandwich panels

Vitaly Lviv Sandwich panels - is a modern building material with unique qualities. Today, the sandwich panels have been successfully used in both residential and industrial construction. Due to its design, sandwich panels have a big margin, but their light weight can significantly reduce the cost of transporting, loading and assembly designs. Due to the small weight sedvich panels significantly reduced the load on the foundation, thereby reducing costs to conduct geological studies of soil and building foundations. Buildings and facilities of sedvich panels are manufactured at the factory, and then they only need to deliver on the object and collect, as a designer. Therefore, construction of sandwich panels is much faster than with traditional building materials. If necessary, the building of the sandwich panels can be easily removed and mounted on any other place. Perfectly smooth surface, which possess all the sandwich panels do not require additional treatment (plaster or puttying). It should also be noted that the sandwich panels are produced already painted, which also significantly reduces the cost of finishing a building. Sandwich panels are not only economically viable for construction, but also have excellent consumer properties. Homes, manufactured using this technology have low moisture absorption and good insulating properties, which allows construction even in areas far north. In addition, all the sandwich panels in the production process are subjected to additional treatment - anti-corrosion coating layer, the primer and the polymer composition. Sandwich panels - is eco-friendly material, which is confirmed by numerous studies both in Russia and abroad. Given the economic feasibility of using this material and its physical properties, today, the sandwich panels are used in the construction of houses and industrial complexes for different purposes. Also sandwich panels have been used successfully to build entertainment and shopping complexes, warehouses and administrative buildings. In addition, sandwich panels can be used for insulation and sound insulation of buildings. Sandwich panels: the causes of the popularity of sandwich panel - this is the definition for a class of sandwich panels. Construction of sandwich panels is called the panel with a relatively thick layer of filler and sheet metal cladding. They are used for the erection of supporting structures. As a rule, the structure of the sandwich panels are heat-insulating core (which is intended to further absorb noise and absorb water) and the outer layers of the most often - from metal, they have several functions: protective, constructive and decorative. The most important function of the sandwich panels - insulation - depending on the material from which made the core and on its thickness. The most common fillings - these are different types of foam and mineral wool. Thickness of the filler depends on many factors that affect the operating conditions of the building: the climate, the required temperature in the room, etc. Thanks to high technology manufacturing, a wide range of modifications and the construction of sandwich-sized panels are in high demand among building materials. Used in the construction of low-rise buildings, sandwich panels offer the opportunity to realize a variety of structural and architectural solutions. Therefore, the direction of construction, which use sandwich panels, a lot of: industrial and commercial buildings, housing and administrative buildings, refrigerators, bus stations, supermarkets, etc. The ease of installation and dismantling of structures, sandwich panels are used for military buildings or temporary dislocation, for example, shift the premises. Transportation opportunities can carry a sandwich panel, even by helicopter to remote places. In addition to high thermal insulation characteristics, small weight and ease of installation, which reduces the cost of the construction costs at times, sandwich panels are known for their sound-proof - this is important when selecting materials for the construction of housing or office space. During the construction of exterior walls on the technology of light frame construction with the use of sandwich panels must meet the basic technical and functional requirements: the strength and stability of the construction; for insulation and fire safety. However, there are special requirements, such as hygiene - food industry. Sandwich panels are completely satisfy these requirements. Moisture resistance of fillers, and corrosion-resistant coating of metal - the main guarantors of the sanitary protection many years of service panels. By Functionality sandwich panels are divided into wall and roof. Difference between these two types of systems, locks and stiffness characteristics, as at the walls and roof fall different loads. There are several ways to produce sandwich panels: automated lines, manual assembly, polyurethane foam between two sheets of veneer. Automatic lines are more productive than the so-called "bench" when the panels are glued together by hand. And with an automatic, and manual assembly components panel connects the adhesive layer, which manufacturers pay little importance. Depends on the quality of the adhesive durability of the panel. Sandwich panels are factory assembly are easy to mount. The advantage of such panels is to have developed integrated units for quick installation of fences. Most often, the sandwich panels are mounted on the bearing metal structure of the building. Light weight panels can not attract a large number of people to work on the installation and use of lighter and cheaper foundations. At this stage of works subject to additional accessories: naschelniki, strips, seals. These elements have the technical and decorative features: they cover all sorts of gaps at the juncture of panels, which are inevitable during the installation. One of the main criteria for quality of installation of the assembly - the quality of joints. Depends on it, and the structural strength, the degree of warmth and moisture resistance. Many large construction companies offer the customer a complete cycle of works: Design, manufacture of building materials and installation of the building. Working with the sandwich panels can significantly reduce the cost of the building and not lose anything in quality! How to build a sandwich? Most often, sandwiches are mounted on a wooden, concrete or metal support structure of the building. Work with them very easily. Cope with the work of 2-3 people will be able to calmly, and with the least expenditure of any effort and support tools. Sandwiches are very lightweight enough of that to their relatively high price, but greater reliability and ease of use. Standard panel weighs 50 - 80 kg. Strengthen the panel to the frame of the building is also very easy. The builders of two types of fasteners - invisible (when the ground is under mounting bolt leaf panels) and visible when the mount visible from the outside, but it is part of the panel itself. For mounting use special self-tapping screws or special fasteners. The main problem in assembling sandwiches - is a good or a bad joint panels, so manufacturers and builders themselves directly to work paying particular attention to "lock". From these same joints depends very much: the strength of the connection design and the lack of small gaps, which will be cold air, and high density design to avoid moisture and vapor in the insulation. Sandwiches, incidentally, tend to change their sizes depending on the thermal fluctuations in temperature, so you need to take account of this feature and most accurately fit the corners, joints and seams to avoid deformation of the entire system. Seams and joints can be additionally filled with sealing mastic, gaskets made of polyurethane, neoprene, polyurethane tape or polyurethane foam. In some systems, also installed extra aluminum foil. Aluminum foil at the junction prevents the diffusion of gases and vapors in the penetration uteplitel.Tortsevye seams of panels filled with foam or mineral wool and close battens. When installing the panels are used as fittings. This is a very strong metal products, which are applied to the possible closure of joints, resulting in mounting the panels. At the construction site basement wall panels can be mounted without the use of machinery. To raise the panel recommended lifting device, which can be rented from the manufacturer. For zavaltsovyvaniya seam roof panels customer may rent a hand-beading machine. To expedite the work can be used an electric typewriter. Exterior wall panels can be installed vertically. During the construction of bulkheads typically used this method of installation, since panels are easily attached to the floor and ceiling without any additional beams. MDF panel for interior decoration, however, those who are not ready to rebuild your home to renovate the interior, instead of panels, which are the building blocks, we can recommend MDF panels, which are soon finishing. Argued that the quality and convenient finishing material released only overseas. To this view people are paying big money. However, our manufacturers to produce products, quality and appearance which in no way inferior to international standards, easy to use and cheaper. This statement directly applies to the wall panels on MDF. Recently, the demand for this stuff is great, because none of the existing finishing materials does not meet the same extent an increasing customer requirements. On top of that wall panels on MDF is the most environmentally friendly material among their own kind. The main feature of these wall panels is the shape of the side edges: one of them performed in the form of the ridge, the other - the groove, like a conventional distillation, which allows you to tightly join the panel. And there is no need to try as closely as possible customized panel to each other - in the assembly formed longitudinal, narrow deeper-fugue, which "mask" the connection. Wall panels are fastened to the crate by means of special brackets - klyaymerov, which provide a hidden fastening of panels to each other. There's another advantage: when assembling panels easily concealed significant irregularities "rough" wall, there is no need to somehow make the wall under the covering - ripped from the walls of old wallpaper, paint, etc., besides covering for the wiring can be hidden , antenna cables and even a pipe. MDF panels are easily handled by any saws, hacksaw, drill and other carpentry operations do not cause problems. Wall panels offer high sound absorption and thermal insulation, good hygienic properties. And last but not least - with the help of the wall panels can create absolutely any room. A huge number of decors offers opportunities to create a prestigious interior design - combining different shades, you can achieve stylish results. Beauty and aesthetics, reliability and practicality, as well as the presence of hygiene and fire certificates make wall panels more attractive finishing material. When covering the wall panels MDF area of ??100 sq ft cost savings of 20.8%. Comparison of time spent on installation is even more impressive. Per 100sq.m gain in time for installation is increased by several times. Thus, the rate of installation of MDF compared with gypsum plasterboard above in 4,5 times. This is because the installation of MDF is more technological. Wall panels on MDF benefits not only in price and time policies, they have other advantages, namely: If you have the desire to replace the interior, you can mount the wall panels on absolutely every surface, no matter what finishing material was there before. Available building materials (wooden blocks). Does not require special tools and equipment - for installation of wall panels are required only wooden sticks, staplers, nails, themselves the panel with accessories (Mouldings). Does not require training or special expertise fitter. Work with them under the force of even an amateur, someone who has never been associated with construction work. To do this we need only a desire and a little time. The absence of debris after the work is completed. If you recall the trucks, exporting trash from construction sites, it is an advantage of wall panels becomes obvious. There are other advantages of wall panels made of MDF, it's: ease of transport and delivery to the place of work (one person can easily carry the package wall panels along the narrow stairways on each floor); quick replacement of damaged panels, ease of installation and low voltage electrical networks, and and ventilation can be dismantled and the subsequent creation of the interior on the new site. MDF - a slab of pressed wood dust vacuum method (without using epoxy resin and phenol, which are harmful to human health). Fiber (dust) is a product of refining chipping, GOST 15815-83.9. MDF - the abbreviation meant by "fines" - not only accurately reflects the structure of the material itself, but also very successfully echoes the standard in the world of Latin acronym MDF - MittelDichte Fazerplatte (translated from German - a plate or board medium density). Manufactured by dry pressing finely ground wood chips at high temperature and pressure. Link here is the lignin, which is released by heating the wood. Other binders are not used. By fiberboards from MDF bonded with hot melt PVC film of known German firms - manufacturers. For the manufacture of fibreboard used the following raw materials: wood chips technology, urea-formaldehyde resin KF-MT-15 is a product of polycondensation of urea with formaldehyde. The resin is non-flammable, non-hazardous aqueous substance. Ammonium chloride and paraffin. Plates are manufactured using resins and chemical materials permitted by Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. MDF-panels do not have high moisture resistance, which is somewhat limited range of their applications, in particular, is not recommended to sheathe their wet rooms, in the first place - bathrooms, or any entrance lobbies with large swings in humidity and temperature. For these purposes it is necessary to use other finishing materials. In all of this, care for the wall panels is very simple. A monthly wipe with a damp cloth, and you can use modern detergents, except those that contain abrasives. At the moment the market is 40 decors wall panels. They are divided into four series: Classic, Medium, Modern, and Fantasy - from a simple simulation of various types of wood series Classics and Medium to very elegant color combination series Modern and Fantazi. You can combine different shades of wall panels, selecting the most interesting sochetaniya.Ispolzuya wall panels on MDF can imitate any surface completely. There are patterns for natural wood (oak light oak rustical, cherries, etc.) - they naturally convey different shades of wood. Or patterns that mimic the foliage of different species (pine branches, mossy oak, mint ...) decors Marble (marble mirror, marble green, marble, pink ...). In addition, the positioning wall panels in space and the plane can be different. This is entirely a matter of taste - they are likely to pose a vertically from floor to ceiling, which gives the visual effect of a greater height of the room, but nobody forbids to locate the panel horizontally, and even at an angle to the horizon, it is only important to remember that the batten should always be perpendicular to the panels themselves . Incidentally, it was slanted mount gives a room the most intriguing form, although such a covering, and will require more labor and accuracy. Wall panels on MDF can be used for finishing walls, ceilings, alcoves, stairwells, attics any premises: kitchens and corridors, offices, bars, restaurants and cafes, youth clubs and dance halls, medical facilities, etc.
