Sandwich panel wall installation involves preparation, including checking seals and the structural frame, by lifting and positioning the panels with tools like vacuum lifts or cranes. Panels are secured to the structural elements using appropriate fasteners, and joints are sealed to ensure tightness and durability. The process continues with overlapping panels, careful alignment, and sealing, while always adhering to safety guidelines.

Preparation and safety

☆Check the work area

Ensure the structural frame and wall surface are clean, dry, and ready for installation.

☆Install seals

Apply joint seals to the structural pillars, and ensure any pre-applied seals on the panels are correctly in place.

☆Handle with care

Transport panels carefully to avoid damage. Remove protective films from the panels, either partially or completely, as per instructions.

☆Follow safety regulations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, and use safety equipment like safety belts and barriers. Do not install during extreme weather conditions like high wind, heavy rain, or fog.

Lifting and positioning

☆Use lifting tools

Use a mechanical lifting tool, such as a vacuum lift or a crane, to safely move the panels.

☆Position the first panel

Place the first panel in its final position, ensuring it is correctly aligned and oriented. For vertical installation, the panel's tongue should face the direction of installation, with the groove facing downward.

☆Align and level

Ensure the panel is level and meets the required installation tolerances before fixing it.

Fastening and sealing

☆Fasten the panels

Secure the panel to the structural elements using fasteners that penetrate the full thickness of the panel. The spacing of the fasteners should follow the manufacturer's guidelines.

☆Seal joints

Apply sealant or caulk to the joints between panels to prevent moisture and improve insulation.

☆Install subsequent panels

Continue installing panels, working from bottom to top and overlapping panels to prevent moisture penetration. Apply sealants to the surfaces before joining subsequent panels.

Final steps

☆Seal all openings

Seal all joints, corners, and openings, such as those around doors and windows, using mineral wool, foam, or sealant to ensure airtightness.

☆Install trim

Install masking treatments like trim strips at corners, edges, and other joints according to the project plan.

☆Remove remaining film

Remove any remaining protective film from the panels immediately after installation or once the wall is complete.

For a successful sandwich panel wall installation, always prioritize precise alignment and secure fastening. This ensures optimal thermal performance and long-term structural integrity. Properly installed, these panels deliver durable, energy-efficient building envelopes with minimal future maintenance, making them a smart investment.
