When building a 2-story steel warehouse, we need to pay attention to the following key factors when selecting wall panels: load-bearing capacity, fire resistance, sound insulation, durability and cost. Below we will analyze these factors one by one to determine what kind of sandwich wall panels are suitable for steel structure warehouses.
Load capacity
Since warehouses need to store a large amount of goods, the wall panels need to bear a large amount of weight. Sandwich wall panels are usually composed of two steel or aluminum alloy panels and an insulation material in the middle, so their load-bearing capacity mainly depends on the thickness and strength of the panels. When choosing sandwich wall panels, we should consider using panel materials with larger thickness and higher strength to ensure that their load-bearing capacity meets the requirements.
Fire performance
Warehouse is a place where flammable items are stored, so fire resistance is crucial. When choosing sandwich wall panels, we should consider using materials with good fire resistance, such as fire-resistant gypsum board or fire-resistant rock wool. These materials can effectively prevent the spread of fire and protect the safety of the warehouse.
Sound insulation
If the warehouse needs to be used to store noisy items, then sound insulation becomes very important. In this case, we can consider using sandwich wall panels with good sound insulation effects, such as using sound-absorbing materials such as mineral wool or fiberglass to enhance the sound insulation performance of the wall panels.
Durability
Since the warehouse needs to be used for a long time, the sandwich wall panels should have good durability. When selecting materials, we should consider using materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as aluminum alloy panels and anti-corrosion coatings that can enhance the weather resistance of wall panels.
Cost
Finally, we also need to consider the cost of sandwich wall panels. Based on the above requirements, sandwich wall panels suitable for building a 2-story steel warehouse may be more expensive. However, given the longevity and low maintenance of sandwich wall panels, the overall cost remains competitive. When choosing, we can weigh it based on budget and actual needs.
To sum up, the sandwich wall panels suitable for building a 2-story steel warehouse should have the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity, good fire resistance, good sound insulation effect, strong durability and reasonable cost. When making the actual selection, we can comprehensively consider the specific needs and conditions to select the most suitable sandwich wall panel material.
Based on our many years of experience in steel warehouse projects, rock wool sandwich panels can be used as wall panels for the construction of 2-story steel warehouses. Rock wool sandwich panels have strong load-bearing capacity, high fire resistance, and can be well waterproof and moisture-proof. Warehouses are used to store items, and fire protection during use is very important. Therefore, generally for projects newly constructed in warehouses, we will recommend the use of rock wool sandwich panels.
Canglong Group is an experienced manufacturer of metal sandwich panels. We specialize in providing wall enclosure systems, roof panels, etc. for metal buildings. Our main sandwich wall panels include EPS wall panels, puf wall panels, rock wool wall panels, etc. We support customization of sandwich panels with a thickness of 50-200mm. Since sandwich panels made of different materials have different characteristics, the prices will also vary. However, the metal sandwich panels we produce all have thermal insulation, fire and moisture resistance properties.
