120 mm insulation panel — SLATE PIR

Comfort in a heated workshop also depends on its walls and roof. A PIR sandwich-panel envelope helps separate the interior from changing weather while taking up relatively little space. Rigid insulating foam sits between steel facings that give the panel a finished appearance. This material is useful wherever an enclosed, insulated space needs to be organised efficiently.

PIR has low thermal conductivity. For a given thermal resistance, this can allow a thinner envelope than materials with higher conductivity. The benefit is clear within a restricted footprint: more of the available space can serve work, circulation or storage. It also helps when designing entrances and connections to existing buildings. A slim wall need not look bulky, making it easier to create an attractive service pavilion or compact office area.

Insulation slows heat exchange through the envelope. It helps maintain the chosen winter temperature and reduces heat entering through the walls and roof in warmer weather. Comfort depends on the entire building, but a well-performing core is an important part of the system. The steel face protects the foam and supplies a surface suitable for everyday use without additional plastering. Its finish can be matched to the room, from dry storage to service areas requiring regular cleaning. In small premises, these decisions affect access to equipment. A thinner, appropriately selected wall can help retain a convenient passage beside a workstation or provide more options for arranging shelving.

The rigid core retains its shape between the facings, supporting a consistent finished envelope.

Panel joints allow adjacent insulation sections to be connected as part of a continuous envelope design.

Factory-bonded layers reduce the number of materials prepared separately on site.

The broad facing surface provides a useful background for room labels and company branding.

PIR panels are useful in service centres, commercial premises and warehouses where indoor conditions matter to people or goods. They also help enclose a heated section within a larger hall. Where cooling is specified, an appropriate panel variant can form a temperature-controlled room. Each use benefits from combining insulation with a finished face. Thermal and fire properties are selected for the specific product and whole envelope, so the material meets a defined purpose rather than being chosen on thickness alone.

We offer first- and second-grade PIR sandwich panels, including material ready for collection. SteelProfil combines favourable prices with promotions, helping match purchasing to the building’s function. We compare available thicknesses, facings and formats so the selected batch suits the planned envelope and desired appearance.
