Thermal insulation, which is required mainly for homes in order to slow down the flowing in or out of heat, is often added to walls, roof, ceilings, or floors. As heat primarily escapes through conduction or physical contact with the colder temperature outside, construction and insulation of walls and roofs are crucial to keeping heat inside.
For buildings that were built with poor roof or wall insulation, remodeling could become a big burden, which usually involves taking off of the original roofing panels, and purchasing new insulation panels.
Steel sandwich panels are among the most commonly used material for building either industrial, commercial, agricultural, or public domains. Sandwich panels can often be tailored to suit various thermal, acoustic or strength requirements by combing layers of different materials in different thicknesses to achieve the desired effect.
