Sandwich halls: A modern solution for industry and storage

Sandwich halls have been a popular construction solution in various sectors of industry, production, agriculture and logistics in recent years. They have great properties and many advantages. Sandwich and tarpaulin halls represent a fast, flexible and affordable alternative to classic brick and concrete buildings. In this article, we will look at how sandwich halls work, what advantages they offer and why you should choose this option.

What are sandwich halls and how do they work?

A sandwich hall is a composite structure on asteel supporting structure, which is formed by a frame of special profiles. Uniquesandwich panels with a multilayer structure are inserted into the frames. On both the outside and inside of the sandwich hall there is a coated sheet metal between which an insulating layer is applied under pressure. The thermal insulation core is made of PUR foam or PIR foam. In some cases and if the customer requires it, the core can also be made of mineral wool.

Thanks to this solution, sandwich halls are sufficiently durable and well insulated. They retain their shape, stability and are lightweight. The main advantage is that sandwich halls are easy to build and do not require complex foundations. The combination of simple construction and effective cladding makes them an ideal solution for companies that need new premises quickly and at a reasonable price.

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, look at the available tarpaulin halls, which provide a great compromise.

Advantages of sandwich halls over traditional structures

The biggest advantage is the speed of construction. While the construction process for brick buildings can take several months, a sandwich hall is ready in a few weeks. In addition, the construction is less dependent on the weather, which speeds up assembly at any time of the year.

From an operational point of view, sandwich halls are economical.The insulating core helps maintain a constant temperature, which reduces heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer.An advantage of sandwich halls is also low maintenance, long service life of materials and the ability to customize the hall(dimensions, number of windows, number of doors, etc.) according to the requirements of each customer.

In addition to sandwich halls, other materials are often used in practice, such assheet metalortarpaulin. We have discussed their energy efficiency in more detail in a separate article – Comparison of energy efficiency of sheet metal and canvas halls.

Possibilities of using sandwich halls

Thanks to their versatility, sandwich halls have a wide range of uses. Companies often use them as storage spaces for goods or materials, as production halls for machines and technologies, or as service workshops. In agriculture, they are used to store equipment, hay, fertilizers, or animal feed. Some are also used as sales or administrative spaces, or exhibition halls.

How to choose the right sandwich hall?

The choice of a sandwich hall depends mainly on what it will be used for. You will need a different solution for production, another for storage of goods or equipment. First of all, it is important to clarify what area you will need, what ceiling height, how many entrances, and the method of heating and ventilation. You should definitely also think about the equipment of the future sandwich hall, what will be stored inside and what will be the most suitable location for construction.

An important factor is also the price and total construction costs. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, choose canvas halls with a great price-quality ratio.

Although sandwich halls are among the available solutions, the final amount depends on several factors, such as the size of the hall, height, type of insulation, number of windows, doors, gates, incorporated technological elements, heating or air conditioning. The price also includes land preparation, foundations, assembly and transport.

How is a sandwich hall constructed?

The whole process begins with aproject design, where the client’s needs and local conditions are taken into account. After the project is approved, the land is prepared and the foundation is built, which can be a concrete slab or just a strip foundation – depending on the type of hall. After the steel structure is installed, the cladding with panels begins, doors, gates, windows are installed, and other construction modifications are carried out according to the assignment. Construction usually takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the size of the hall and its equipment.
