Composite panels are a popular construction material consisting of an insulated core sandwiched between two metal or plastic facings. They are often used extensively for external walls, internal structures and roof construction on commercial buildings. Specialist uses include cold storage, warehousing, food, hotels and other environments which need to adhere to stringent hygiene standards.
Cladding uses a form of composite panelling with the addition of an air cavity. This helps to maintain air flow within the component. It forms a weather resistant skin attached to the exterior of a building to protect from the elements and improve thermal energy efficiency and aesthetics.
