Regardless of whether you intend to build a modern industrial hall, construct an efficient warehouse, or arrange a functional commercial space, there is a stage preceding any plan: establishing the budget. In fact, good financial planning is the foundation upon which every project is built, offering the assurance that resources are used smartly and efficiently.
- What is the most suitable type of thermal insulation panels for our project?
- How is the price per square meter of thermal insulation panels calculated?
Since thermal insulation panels (also known as sandwich panels) represent one of the most efficient solutions in erecting any construction, their choice is self-evident. In this context, it is not surprising that a frequently asked question to thermal insulation panel manufacturers is: “What is the price per square meter for PUR/PIR or Mineral Wool sandwich insulation panels?” Through this article, we aim to offer you a clearer understanding of the factors that influence the cost of thermal insulation panels. 
What is the most suitable type of thermal insulation panels for my project?
A first step in evaluating the investment and in order to request a price quote, targets the correct identification of the product type you need. In the case of large projects, the use of a certain type of panel is imposed by authorized institutions, which, depending on the type of activity performed, determines whether the construction will be done with PUR/PIR or mineral wool thermal insulation panels. Regarding small projects, such as garages, annexes, or animal shelters, PUR/PIR panels are most often chosen.
PUR/PIR Panels
They are recommended, among other things, for efficient thermal insulation, quick assembly, and adaptability to different requirements. Although very similar, PUR and PIR panels have a distinctive feature: the latter’s resistance to fire. PIR panels, with a minimum thickness of 50 mm, offer supplementary protection against fires, with a fire resistance of 15-30 minutes.
Mineral Wool Insulation Panels
They are recommended in industrial or commercial projects where, besides thermal efficiency and sound insulation, a high degree of fire resistance, ranging between 60 and 180 minutes, depending on the panel thickness, is also desired.
How is the price per square meter of thermal insulation panels calculated?
The price of sandwich thermal insulation panels per square meter varies depending on a series of factors that must be taken into consideration in the process of evaluating and planning your project. These factors include:
- Type of insulation: As we have observed, thermal insulation panels can be manufactured using three types of insulation: PIR, PUR, or mineral wool, each with specific properties that respond to certain needs. Therefore, the choice of the type of insulation will influence the final cost of the project.
- Dimensions and thickness: The dimensions and thickness of the panels contribute to cost variability. The thickness of a panel varies between 30 mm and 200 mm, and the dimensions range between 2 meters and 13.5 meters.
- Panel Color: Panel colors can impact the price. Choosing from a standard range or a special shade can add to or reduce the total cost.
- Final Destination: The destination of the panels has a major influence on the cost. For example, panels intended for the construction of warehouses or cold rooms from the TOP FRIGO range imply special technical characteristics, such as special joints that minimize thermal losses. Another example, panels from the TOP ZOO range, have the interior face made of polyester resin reinforced with fiberglass, being particularly useful in the zootechnical field.
In conclusion, it is evident that there are a number of aspects that can influence the price per square meter of thermal insulation panels. To ensure that you plan your budget correctly and make informed decisions, it is essential to provide all relevant details when requesting a price quote. From the type of insulation and panel thickness, to color and destination, every detail matters. Our team of thermal insulation panel advisors is here to help you obtain a personalized quote, tailored exactly to the needs and requirements of your project. Together we build responsibly!
