Type of article: Article

Summary

THE CONTINUOUS METHOD OF LAMINATED PANEL CONSTRUCTION PRODUCES PANELS OF MUCH GREATER STRENGTH AND DURABILITY THAN EARLIER METHODS. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO MAKE PANELS TO ANY LENGTH REQUIRED AT NO EXTRA COST. THE STRUCTURAL STRENGTH OF A PANEL CONTAINING POLYSTYRENE BOARD INSULATION IS ENORMOUSLY GREATER THAN ONE WITH A URETHANE FOAM AND IS GUARANTEED TO MAINTAIN ITS U-VALUE FOR A LONG PERIOD, WHEREAS FOAMED PANELS MAY HAVE CAVITIES AND THE FOAM IS LESS STABLE. THE ARTICLE INCLUDES A TABLE OF COMPARATIVE STRUCTURAL LOADS FOR PANELS OF UP TO 250 MM THICK. D.W.H.
