Polyurethane Ceiling Panels

Characteristic Materials

Insulating polyurethane core PUR/PIR

The 40 kg/m³ high density PUR polyurethane foam insulating core has excellent resistance to heat transmission. It is proven to be the best thermal insulation material in the field of construction.

It does not contain dangerous harmful substances, it is odorless and safe for health and the environment. Does not contain CFC & HCFC, substances that damage the ozone. It is recyclable and can be used to produce secondary use products

In addition, PIR polyurethane foam is not flammable, it is suitable for buildings with fire resistance requirements of their structural elements. The PIR polyurethane foam panel is classified in category B-s1-d0, according to the EN 13501-1 standard, i.e. it does not transmit fire, is difficult to ignite, has minimal smoke production and does not produce flammable or non-flammable particles.

Essential features:

Density 40 ± 2 kg/m³ (high index)
Thermal conductivity, λ 0.023 W/mK
95% closed cell structure
Reaction to fire, self-extinguishing, class B s1 d0

Sheets

Pre-painted and galvanized steel sheets of 0.50 mm thickness are usually used. It is possible to choose a sheet of different materials and thicknesses.

Pre-painted and galvanized steel or with aluzinc protection, according to EN 10346 & EN 10143, from 0.35 mm to 1.0 mm, with Polyester, Plastisol, PVDF coatings.
Aluminum, unpainted with aluzinc protection or pre-painted with AluZinc protection, according to EN 508-2, with a thickness from 0.35 mm to 1.0 mm.
Stainless steel, AISI 304 2B or AISI 316 L, from 0.35 mm to 1.0 mm, without color coating, mat or gloss.

Outer Sheet

External metal sheets of trapezoidal cross-section 42/250 (five vertices) or trapezoidal cross-section 42/500 (three vertices), with a slight groove (Box) between the vertices. Usually the sheets used are unprinted, but there is the possibility of embossing.

Inner Sheet

Internal metal sheets with no flat configuration (Flat) or with light configuration Box 100 groove (50-50), mini Box 51 groove (25.5-25.5), Box 150 groove (75-75) and sagre impression ( Embossed). It is possible to produce panels where the inner lamina can be replaced with a flat polyester sheet up to 1mm thick, for use in constructions where the environment is extremely corrosive.

Please ask us about available coatings (Polyester, Plastisol, PVDF, Food Safe, Non-Toxic and Anti-mould) and available colors (RAL1014 to RAL 9010).

Classic Polyester paint

Polyester paints are the most widespread, common and the most economical laminate coatings. They are suitable for both exterior and interior surfaces. With a nominal coating thickness of > 20μm they have very good resistance to external environmental conditions.

Durable Plastisol paint

The Plastisol coating is extremely resistant to outdoor weather conditions. It belongs to the category of “self-healing” coatings in mechanical damages. With a nominal coating thickness of 200μm, it is suitable for external applications where the requirements for strength are high.

High demand PVDF paint

PVDF paint is suitable for buildings with architectural applications where texture and color retention are important. The nominal thickness of the coating is 50μm and it is classified in category s1, in terms of its reaction to fire.

Coating color options

An extremely large number of coating color options are available. Please ask us about available colors (RAL 1014 to RAL 9010).

** The weight per unit length was calculated considering the core density 40kg/m³, and the nominal thickness of the laminates 0.50mm / 0.50mm.

*** The thermal permeability coefficient was calculated taking into account the core density of 40kg/m³, the thermal conductivity coefficient of the core of 0.023 W/mK and the nominal thickness of the laminates of 0.50mm / 0.50mm.

Polyurethane PIR panels are classified after tests carried out in notified laboratories in category B s1 d0, in terms of their reaction to fire, according to EN 13501-1 standard. Please request the classification report.

a polyurethane ceiling panels are fixed to the load-bearing body with the standard method of visible anchoring.

They are designed to cover roofs with a slope of no less than 10%. On roofs with a greater slope it is recommended to install more than one panel in the direction of the slope. In this case the panels must have an overlap configuration. The cross overlap can be right or left depending on project specifications. The length of the coating varies from 50mm to 250mm. The panels are usually supplied without cross-lamination and the cut-out (removal of part of the inner lamina and core) is done at the project site.

The special joint design of the panels in combination with the use of sealants minimizes the joints from panel to panel and therefore achieves:
