As with the roof, you can choose different wall materials.
Available options include fire-retardant PVC fabric, trapezoidal sheet metal, and insulated panels.
PVC walls
Trapezoidal sheet metal
Insulation panels
Waterproofing: types
PVC walls
The most affordable option. Available in different colors, transparent or opaque, and fire-retardant.
Disadvantages: poor insulation, possible intrusion. Recommended only for secured/enclosed sites.
Trapezoidal sheet metal
Different thicknesses and profiles. Various colors available. Advantages: protection against intrusion, disadvantages: slightly higher cost.
Insulation panels
They are installed when better insulation is required. It is recommended to combine them with an insulated panel roof or a thermo-membrane roof.
They consist of two sheet metal layers and an intermediate thermal insulation core of suitable thickness, which can be polyurethane foam (PUR), polyisocyanurate foam (PIR), or mineral wool (MiWo).
While the first type of panel has slightly better insulation properties, the latter two offer better fire-resistant performance.
They can be installed vertically or horizontally on the facade.
Panels are available in different colors and coatings, depending on climatic requirements.
Panels can have visible or concealed joints.
Waterproofing: types
Waterproofing is installed at the joint between the façade panel, sheet metal or PVC fabric and the ground.
Proper site preparation is very important. The key requirement is that the ground slopes outward from the edge of the structure. This significantly helps prevent water ingress into the structure.
PVC/ground joint
Made by fixing the PVC fabric to the ground. It is secured to the ground using flat sheet metal.
Sheet metal/ground joint
A cut is made in the asphalt surface, into which bituminous compound and a Z-profile are inserted.
Panel/ground joint
A cut is made in the asphalt surface, into which bituminous compound and a Z-profile are inserted.
