What is Panel? Classification and detailed quotation

Panel is a flat sheet construction material used for insulation and soundproofing, consisting of 3 layers: 2 galvanized iron layers on the outside and 1 core layer in the middle. The core layer can be materials such as EPS, PU, ​​Rockwool, Glasswool or XPS, ... in which EPS and PU are most commonly used for civil works. The thickness of the surface iron layer is usually from 0.3 - 0.5mm, the core layer is from 50 - 200mm depending on the type.

EPS Panel costs from 215.000 - 289.000 VND/m² depending on thickness, PU Panel ranges from 540.000 - 780.000 VND/m², Rockwool Panel from 295.000 - 390.000 VND/m², Glasswool Panel is about 432.000 - 598.000 VND/m² and XPS Panel costs 630.000 - 882.000 VND/m² (reference March 3).

There are also 3D Panel EPS panels priced from 130.000 - 305.000 VND/m² depending on specifications and steel type, and ALC lightweight concrete panels without steel mesh priced from 252.000 - 670.000 VND/m², the type with steel mesh priced from 230.000 - 460.000 VND/m² depending on thickness.

These types of panels are widely used in construction thanks to their good sound and heat insulation and quick construction. In particular, some types can also help save up to 70% on electricity and cooling equipment costs.

“The Panel market size is expected to grow from US$ 10,70 billion in 2024 to US$ 20,51 billion in 2032,” according to Fortune Business Insights, a market researcher based in Pune, India. This shows that the Panel market is forecast to almost double in 8 years.

What is a Panel?

Panel (insulated foam sheet) is a flat sheet building material, often used in many modern constructions thanks to its soundproofing, heat insulation and quick construction capabilities.

This material consists of 2 outer layers (galvanized steel or cold-rolled steel) and the core layer in the middle can be different materials such as: EPS, PU, ​​Rockwool, Glasswool, XPS,...

According to many reputable sources that Kosmos has compiled, the size of the Panel is quite diverse, depending on the specific type, purpose of use and manufacturer. The common thickness of the surface layer is from 0.3 - 0.5mm, the core layer is 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, even 200mm (depending on the type).
