Concrete sandwich panels are popular in the construction sector for their combination of solidity, insulation and durability. However, there are also modern alternatives that perform equally well and are often more practical. At Ferbeco, we also have extensive experience in concrete works for projects requiring additional structural strength.

What are concrete sandwich panels?

Concrete sandwich panels consist of a concrete outer layer, an insulating core and a concrete inner layer. This construction makes them robust, durable and thermally insulating. Typical applications include:

• Buildings subject to extreme structural loads
  Examples: warehouses with heavy storage racking, factory buildings housing large machinery, or multi-storey car parks.
• Projects where fire resistance is critical
  Examples: chemical or industrial buildings, and public buildings such as schools or hospitals requiring extended fire resistance.
• Locations requiring sound insulation
  Examples: buildings adjacent to busy roads or railway lines, concert halls, recording studios or production facilities generating high noise levels.
• Environments subject to high impact or severe weather loading
  Examples: port buildings, industrial sites with forklift traffic, or buildings in areas prone to heavy storms or hail.
• Buildings where thermal mass is required for a stable internal climate
  Examples: offices or schools seeking to save energy through heat storage, production facilities where temperature stability is important, or buildings with large glazed areas subject to temperature fluctuations.

Ferbeco: a practical and flexible alternative

For many construction projects, Ferbeco’s insulated wall and roof panels offer an attractive alternative to concrete sandwich panels.

Advantages of Ferbeco panels:

• Lighter and easier to transport
• Fast installation and assembly
• Highly insulating thanks to modern insulation cores
• Wide choice of finishes and colours
• Flexible application across different project types

Through their combination of insulation, flexibility and aesthetics, Ferbeco panels are often more cost-efficient and practical, whilst still meeting the functional requirements of most modern construction projects.

Finding the right solution together

At Ferbeco, we understand that certain projects genuinely benefit from additional structural strength or concrete construction. In addition to insulated sandwich panels, we specialise in concrete works for foundations and load-bearing structures. Our bespoke concrete solutions can also be combined seamlessly with sandwich panels, ensuring clients always benefit from the optimum balance of durability, insulation, aesthetics and practical buildability.
