Roof- & side coverage
Roof- & side coverage: poly carbonate plates, sheet piling plates and sandwich panels
Roof- and side coverage are essential components of construction in the greenhouse horticulture sector. When choosing the right materials, factors such as durability, insulation, and costs play a crucial role. In this article, we discuss three types of cladding that we offer: poly carbonate plates, sheet piling plates, and sandwich panels. These materials are suitable not only for greenhouses but also for various other applications in construction.
Poly carbonate plates
Poly carbonate plates are plastic sheets consisting of two walls with an air layer in between. This construction offers excellent insulation properties, making them particularly suitable for greenhouses. The air layer acts as an insulator, minimizing heat loss.
Advantages
- Insulation: The air layer between the plates provides high thermal insulation.
- Lightweight: Poly carbonate plates are lighter than traditional glass sheets, making installation easier.
Applications
Poly carbonate plates are widely used in horticulture for greenhouse roofs and sides. They are also ideal for conservatories and other structures where light transmission and insulation are important.
Sheet piling plates
Sheet piling plates are steel sheets used for both roof and side coverage. They are designed with a specific profile shape that ensures a strong connection between the plates, improving the overall stability of the structure.
Advantages
- Durability: Made of steel, sheet piling plates offer a long lifespan and are resistant to various weather conditions.
- Easy installation: The profiles are designed for quick and straightforward assembly.
Applications
Sheet piling plates are suitable for both new construction and renovation projects. They are often used in the industry, agricultural sector, and for commercial buildings.
Sandwich panels
Sandwich panels consist of two outer layers of steel or aluminum with an insulating layer in between. This makes them ideal for both thermal and sound insulation.
Advantages
- High-quality insulation: The insulating core provides excellent heat retention.
- Cost-effective: Sandwich panels are energy-efficient, leading to lower heating and cooling costs.
- Quick and easy to install: The panels can be assembled rapidly, reducing construction time.
Applications
Sandwich panels are versatile and are used for roof and side coverage of greenhouses, as well as for industrial and commercial buildings.
New or used
When choosing between new and used cladding, it is important to consider the specific needs of your project. New panels often offer the latest technologies and better insulation values, while used panels can contribute to sustainability and cost savings.
