top five benefits of puf insulated roof and wall panels

The Top Benefits of PUF Insulated Roof & Wall Panels are Heat insulation, sound insulation, ease of installation, customizable, and energy efficiency. The full form of PUF is POLYURETHANE FOAM. PUF panels are used for Thermal- Acoustic and other insulation purposes. It is a composite material made up of Rigid Polyurethane foam (PUF) between two layers of Galvalume or Galvanised metal sheets. (Polyurethane foam is a combination of two chemicals namely Polyol&isocyanate.

  Before understanding the Top benefits of PUF Insulated Roof & wall Panels, let us understand the most common building insulation materials.  Insulation material is used to stop the passage of heat – electricity, and sound from one conductor to another.

1. Fibreglass.                                                                                           

2. Cellulose.

3. Mineral wool.

4. Polyurethane Foam (PUF)

5. Polystyrene.

The Benefits Of PUF INSULATED ROOF & WALL Panels are as follows:

Polyurethane form (PUF) is one of the best insulation materials against temperature extremes and has excellent insulation properties that restrict the transmission of heat by 5-6 degrees. These are also called energy or electricity-saving panels, which save on an average of up to 40% to 50% yearly.

 Polyurethane form (PUF) is a great choice for a Sound insulating option.  It minimizes the noise from wind, rain, and hail, and gives more space for relaxing and entertaining.

Polyurethane foams (PUF) are fire resistant and make an effective insulation material, these foams contain NON –CFC gas (Non-Chlorofluorocarbon) helping to minimize the risks to the ozone layer.

Advantages Of PUF Insulated Roof & wall Panels

• PUF Panels are reliable and long-lasting. The panels offer all the features of regular traditional construction and some added advantages.
• PUF Panels are prefabricated, factory-engineered, using state-of-the-art technology and quality materials under expert supervision for precision and accuracy.
• These panels offer high thermal efficiency resulting in low energy consumption and high energy efficiency.
• PUF Panels are aesthetically appealing. They are customized to meet client requirements in terms of design, size, and colors.
• The biggest advantage that the PUF Panel offers is that they are portable. The panels can be easily dismantled, moved, and reconstructed when needed.
• PUF Panels also require very low maintenance and are extremely eco-friendly and cost-efficient.
• Better sound insulation.

PUF Panels Applications:

1. ROOF PANELS:

Residences, commercial complexes, industrial sheds, institutions, Malls, Multiplexes, warehouses, farmhouses, factory sheds, animal sheds, parking sheds, shelters, and Poultry farm sheds.

2. WALL PANELS:

Cold storage rooms, Ripening chambers, partitions, false ceiling.

• INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

Purlin’s distance is one meter (14 gages)

The normal method of fixing panels is by suitable galvanized iron bolts or self-tapping screws.  Proper overlapping is to be given to avoid leakages. Overlapping width can vary between 100mm to 300mm depending on the roof slope.

Puf panels are wrapped in protective, film, and foils to avoid scratches and damage, they should be removed before fixing or installation.

 Sufficient and proper Safety measurements are to be taken as per regulations recommended to strictly comply with current regulations

Where can I get puf panels?

What is a PUF roofing sheet?

POLYURETHANE FOAM (PUF) are Insulated roofing sheets or panels used for heat and sound insulation.

How long does insulation last?

A well-maintained and installed as per the guidelines will last 15 to 20 years.

Is PUF panel eco-friendly?

PUF or polyurethane foam insulated panels are completely environmentally friendly and resistant to corrosion and other types of physical impact.
