PEB Wall Selection – Which Wall for Which Building?
| Building Requirement | Suitable Wall Options |
|---|---|
| Lowest-cost industrial shed | Profile Sheet |
| General warehouse | Profile Sheet / EPS / PUF |
| Temperature-controlled building | PUF |
| Cold storage | PUF / specialized insulated panels |
| High fire requirement | Rockwool / tested fire-rated systems |
| Acoustic requirement | Rockwool / appropriate acoustic assemblies |
| Permanent office | AAC / Fiber Cement / Glass / ACP |
| Premium facade | Glass / ACP |
| Heavy-duty industrial area | Precast / masonry / engineered panel |
| Corrosive environment | FRP/GFRP / suitable coated systems |
| Natural daylight | Translucent FRP / polycarbonate systems |
| Modular building | PUF / EPS / Fiber Cement |
| Residential prefab | PUF / Fiber Cement / AAC |
Most Important Factors Before Selecting a Wall
A professional PEB wall specification should consider:
Thermal Insulation
How much heat transfer is acceptable?
Fire Safety
What fire resistance/classification is required for the building?
Acoustic Requirement
Is the building near machinery, traffic or residential areas?
Wind Load
The cladding and fixing system must be designed for applicable wind pressures.
Corrosion Environment
Coastal, chemical and high-humidity environments may require special coatings/materials.
Building Height & Panel Span
The wall system and support spacing must be structurally adequate.
Appearance
Colour, profile, façade design, glazing and architectural finishes.
Maintenance
Consider cleaning, repainting, replacement and access.
Budget
Initial cost should be compared with lifecycle and energy costs.
Installation Speed
One of the major advantages of prefab construction is rapid installation.
Profile Sheet Wall – Single Skin
