How Can Headstream’s Sandwich Panels Transform Your Construction Project?

Stuck choosing between durability, insulation, and cost for your building project? Headstream’s sandwich panels offer all three – and more. Headstream manufactures high-performance sandwich panels for diverse applications including cold storage, clean rooms, and general construction. Their panels combine insulation, structural strength, and quick installation in one solution. Sandwich panels might look simple, but their impact on buildings is profound. Let’s examine Headstream’s different panel types and their specialized uses. Why Choose Insulated Sandwich Panels? Energy bills skyrocketing? Traditional walls failing to maintain temperature? Headstream’s insulated panels solve both problems at once. Headstream’s insulated sandwich panels feature PIR/PUR foam or mineral wool cores between metal facings, providing superior thermal efficiency (U-values as low as 0.22W/m²K) while maintaining structural integrity. The Insulation Advantage Core Material Options: Polyurethane (PUR): High R-value (up to R-8 per inch), moisture resistant Polyisocyanurate (PIR): Even higher R-value, better fire resistance Mineral Wool: Non-combustible, excellent soundproofing Performance Comparison: Material Thermal Conductivity (W/mK) Fire Rating Sound Absorption PUR Core 0.022-0.028 Class 0 Moderate PIR Core 0.021-0.023 Class 0 Moderate Mineral Wool 0.034-0.040 Class A1 Excellent Installation Benefits: Pre-fabricated sizes reduce on-site work Tongue-and-groove joints eliminate thermal bridges 50% faster installation than traditional walls What Makes Cold Store Panels Different? Wasting energy on freezer rooms that can’t maintain temperature? Headstream’s cold store panels are specifically engineered for refrigeration. Headstream’s cold store panels feature extra-thick PIR/PUR insulation (up to 200mm) with vapor barriers and special joint designs to prevent condensation and thermal leakage in sub-zero environments. Cold Storage Specific Features Specialized Components: Dual vapor barriers: Prevent moisture infiltration Thermal-break framing: Eliminates cold bridges Food-grade coatings: Meets hygiene standards Temperature Performance: Panel Thickness Recommended Temperature Range Typical Application 100mm +5°C to -10°C Chilled storage 150mm -10°C to -25°C Freezer rooms 200mm Below -25°C Ultra-low freezers Added Features: Antimicrobial surface treatments Heavy-duty galvanized steel facings Camlock joints for airtight seals Optional aluminum covers for impact protection Why Use Clean Room Panels? Struggling to maintain sterile environments? Headstream’s clean room panels create airtight, contaminant-free spaces for critical applications. Headstream’s clean room panels feature seamless, non-porous surfaces with rounded corners and airtight joints to meet ISO Class 1-8 cleanroom standards for pharmaceutical, electronic, and medical facilities. Clean Room Panel Specifications Material Options: Surface Material Cleanliness Class Chemical Resistance Typical Use Powder Coated Steel ISO 7-8 Moderate Packaging rooms Stainless Steel ISO 5-6 High Pharm manufacturing Anti-static PVC ISO 1-4 Excellent Microelectronics Critical Design Features: Flush-glazed windows with aluminum sills Integrated ceiling suspension systems Positive pressure maintenance Radius corners (minimum 50mm) Continuous gasket seals Certifications: ISO 14644-1 Cleanroom Standards cGMP Compliance FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance EU GMP Annex 1 What Are Cassette Panels? Need the strength of sandwich panels with more flexibility? Headstream’s cassette panels offer unique benefits for complex facades. Headstream’s cassette panels feature a hidden fixing system where panels clip onto subframes, allowing for dramatic architectural designs while maintaining thermal performance and weather resistance. Cassette Panel Advantages Installation Benefits: No visible fixings = clean aesthetic Thermal movement accommodation Simple replacement of individual panels Faster installation than traditional systems Performance Comparison: Feature Cassette Panel Traditional Sandwich Panel Installation Speed 40% Faster Standard Wind Resistance Up to 3000Pa Typically 2000Pa Thermal Movement 3mm tolerance 1mm tolerance Aesthetic Options Unlimited colors/textures Limited choices Typical Applications: Curved facades High-rise buildings Renovation projects Areas requiring frequent panel access Conclusion From frozen warehouses to sterile labs, Headstream’s sandwich panel solutions combine engineering excellence with practical installation benefits.
