Recently full steel house start to show up more and more places as a house for living. How did a cold material turn into fantastic home construction material? This all started with the development of sandwich panels. The new PU decorative sandwich panel provides not only its insulation property, but also how it makes steel house looks naturally.

See this picture here, this house looks just like wooden villa you would have down the country road. You may guessed it, yes, it is made out of steel structure. The frame is made of light weight steel structure. The floor is cast above a sheet of steel truss girder decking. Wall and roof are using PU sandwich panel to provide better insulation than traditional brick house. PU material is the known material with the best properties to build a house, its light weight, great heat insulation, sound proof, water proof and even can achieve B1 grade fire proof. The light weight make it separated from traditional house. You may think the house is more brittle to natural disasters, but the truth is the opposite. It can resist grade 8 seismic and grade 10 hurricane.

Why heat insulation is so crucial, you may ask. You shall know when you look at your electricity bill. Heat insulation means there are less time you need to turn on air condition, even if you do turn it on. The temperature changed faster and stay that way longer. PU is used as the insulation material for cold room, because it is the best heat insulation material available out of laboratory.

The sandwich panel is available both for roofing and wall cladding. Instead of having bricks for wall and roof tiles, new designs are using PU sandwich panel roof and PU sandwich wall cladding. They provide more smooth surface and have no cold bridge which cause by uneven insulation layer.

Besides its great properties, the main point of this article is introducing its declarative ability. Instead of cold hard metal looking appearance, PU metal panels can have engrave. For example, if you want your house have the wooden looking but with what insulation panels offers, you can have the panels engraved with wood grain on it. To make sure the panel looks even better, some of the panels may apply layers of paint and coating to ensure the light reflection mimic how wood would look like. Beyond the wood looking, you can have the future feeling apply to it. Extreme metal looking sharp edges and full reflection of light. Or something like cyberpunk, the combination of future and outlaw looking. The design is no longer limited by material. Some design may thought to be impossible, but now with the presence of PU metal panel, they are all possible.
