- Our Factory
- Project Case
For general industrial buildings and warehouses in most Chinese climate regions, 40mm polyurethane sandwich panels can meet the minimum energy-saving requirements for the enclosure structure.
For regions with extreme weather, thicker sandwich panels or composite insulation solutions may be needed. You only need to provide the region where your building project is located and the building type, and we will offer a free technical assessment and prepare an analysis report.
The maximum installation span for standard 40mm sandwich panels is 2.5-3.5 meters. It depends on the core material type, the thickness of the metal plates, and the panel’s peak load.
The higher the core material stiffness and the greater the metal plate thickness, the larger the maximum allowable installation span. The greater the wind load, the smaller the maximum allowable support span.
For coastal areas or locations prone to chemical corrosion, we recommend high-corrosion-resistant sandwich panels. The metal panels are made of galvanized aluminum and coated with PVDF, enabling them to withstand salt fog for over 1000 hours.
At the side sealing areas, we use weather-resistant sealants, such as neutral silicone and butyl sealing tape, that withstand high and low temperatures and provide excellent waterproof performance.
For minor damage or loss (<50㎡), we coordinate shipment from our inventory within 72 hours as a specialized manufacturer. For shortages and damages exceeding 50 square meters, we will incorporate the replenishment orders into the latest production batch to ensure delivery within 5 to 7 days.
Conducting rapid inspections of installation quality at the site ensures the structure’s tightness and safety and avoids costly rework later.
At the installation site, the quality of the installation can be checked using simple tools. For example, a magnetic thickness gauge can measure steel plate thickness, ensuring deviation is within ±0.03mm. Pour water into the seam for 15 minutes, and there should be no leakage on the inner side.
What Is A 40mm Sandwich Panel?

The 40mm sandwich panel consists of two metal panels and a 40mm-thick core. It is a lightweight building material that provides strength, insulation, and fire resistance for building roofs and walls.
For construction contractors and engineering firms, selecting the appropriate sandwich panel thickness is crucial. A too-thin thickness may not meet your expected performance, while a too-thick thickness may cost you too much for the performance. Therefore, we developed a 40mm sandwich panel that strikes a balance between performance and cost.
Why Is The 40mm A Highly Cost-Effective Choice for Your Projects?
Cost Advantage
Although a slight thickness increase increases costs, the performance improvement is much greater than the cost increase when costs are averaged over the total construction cost.
The 40mm sandwich panel made of the same material is lighter than sandwich panels with thicknesses of 50mm or more. During construction, it is easier for workers to handle, which increases the installation speed and reduces the reliance on heavy machinery, saving labor and machinery costs.
Project Schedule Advantage
The self-weight of a 40mm sandwich panel is only 6%-7% of that of traditional brick walls. A single standard-sized 40mm PU sandwich panel weighs approximately 85kg, and two workers can easily carry it.
The lightweight enables quick positioning during installation, facilitating high-altitude operations and enhancing safety. The high installation efficiency shortens the construction period, enabling the project to go into production more quickly.
Performance Advantage
Compared with 30mm-thick sandwich panels, 40mm-thick sandwich panels offer a 20%-30% increase in insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs and saving energy.
The flexural strength of the 40mm sandwich panel, made of the same material, is 30% higher than that of the 30mm panel, reducing panel deformation under pressure.
Sufficient rigidity allows larger purlin spacing, reducing steel usage.
The 40mm thickness provides sufficient thermal insulation. For example, double-layered rock wool sandwich panels can achieve a fire resistance of 3 hours.
Supply Chain Advantages
The 40mm thickness is the most common and universal specification in industrial buildings and meets the energy-saving design standards and basic usage requirements of most countries. Our 40mm sandwich has high production efficiency and stable quality control.
We have a dedicated production line for 40mm sandwich panels, which can simultaneously meet the demands of 3 to 4 large-scale projects. The single-thickness production increases the consistency of 40mm sandwich panels by 40%.
There are 32 quality control points on the production line for real-time monitoring, ensuring the reject rate for 40mm sandwich panels is below 0.5% before leaving the factory.
We offer a comprehensive selection of colors and accessories. The panels can be customized in 30 RAL standard colors, and we provide connectors compatible with mainstream building systems.
Appearance Advantages
In modern architecture, the fence’s visual thickness and the building height directly affect the overall visual effect. The greater the thickness, the more pronounced the sense of volume, and the overall architectural style tends to be traditional industrial. A thickness-to-height ratio of 40mm is in the golden range for modern architecture, adding a light, modern feel to your building.
The thin thickness results in a small wave degree on the panel surface. Its continuous reflection light spot is 30% higher than that of thick panels. Under natural light, the building facade presents a seamless, mirror-like appearance and shows a high-end texture when captured by commercial photography lenses.
The 40mm panel has a higher substrate flatness compared to the thick panel. Therefore, the coating tension can be better controlled during coating, resulting in a more uniform surface gloss.
