Wall Cladding & PUF Panels for Industrial, Commercial & Insulated Buildings
The wall is the other half of the building envelope — the part that has to enclose, protect and, in many cases, keep the inside at a different temperature from the outside. We supply and coordinate metal wall cladding and insulated PUF panels for industrial sheds, warehouses, factories, cold storage facilities and pre-engineered steel buildings.

Wall cladding is an external or internal building-envelope system installed over a supporting structure to enclose and protect a building — providing weather protection, architectural appearance and compatibility with steel structures.
PUF panels are insulated sandwich panels that typically consist of metal facing layers with a polyurethane foam insulation core, combining wall enclosure and insulation into a single panel system for applications where thermal performance matters.
Enclosure and insulation, planned as one system
A wall isn't just a barrier bolted to the frame — it's coordinated with the structure, the openings, the ventilation and, where required, the insulation the building actually needs. Metal cladding gives you a lightweight, practical enclosure; PUF panels bring insulation and enclosure together in a single panelized system.
- 01Weather protection and a durable external building-envelope layer
- 02Lightweight metal cladding that coordinates directly with steel framing
- 03Integrated insulation core with PUF panels for temperature-sensitive spaces
- 04Modern profiles, finishes and colours matched to project requirements
- 05Panelized installation that supports an organized construction sequence
Every panel joint, flashing and opening placed on purpose.
The right wall system, for the right application
Metal Wall Cladding
Profiled metal sheets installed over the building's secondary structural system to create the external wall envelope — suited to industrial sheds, warehouses, factory buildings, workshops and storage facilities.
Insulated Wall Panels
Sandwich panels combining external and internal metal surfaces with an insulation core, considered for buildings requiring improved thermal performance.
PUF Wall Panels
Wall panels using polyurethane foam as the insulation core, suitable for temperature-sensitive and industrial applications.
PUF Sandwich Panels
An integrated wall construction solution consisting of facing sheets and an insulated core, for cold storage, food processing and controlled environments.
Architectural Wall Cladding
Where appearance is an important consideration, cladding profiles, colours and finishes can be selected to complement the building's architectural design.
What goes into the wall matters as much as its shape
Material selected for the environment
Building application, environmental exposure, corrosion considerations, appearance and maintenance requirements all shape the metal substrate and coating specification — not a single default.
Insulation core matched to performance needs
Required thermal performance, internal operating conditions, panel thickness and joint configuration determine the PUF core specification for each project.
Panel thickness set by the project, not a standard default
The required insulation thickness should be established based on the project's performance requirements rather than applying a standard thickness across every application.
Joint detailing planned for the assembly
Panel joints and sealing arrangements contribute to air movement control, moisture control and thermal continuity across the whole wall system.
What a complete wall installation includes
Depending on the project, a wall system may include:
Coordinated for how each building actually works
The application shapes the wall, not the other way around.
Industrial sheds, warehouses, factories, cold storage and pharmaceutical facilities each place different demands on a wall system — enclosure, insulation, hygiene and operating conditions all matter. We coordinate the wall solution around what the building is actually used for.
- Industrial sheds & warehouses — coordinated with framing, doors and ventilation
- Factory buildings — integrated with industrial doors, louvers and insulation
- PEB buildings — coordinated across girts, flashings and openings
- Cold storage & food processing — insulated PUF panels with joint and vapour control
- Pharmaceutical facilities — cleanable, insulated wall surfaces where required
From structure check to final inspection
Structural Preparation
The supporting steel structure and secondary members are checked before cladding installation.
Material Inspection
Panels, sheets, flashings, fasteners and accessories are inspected before installation.
Layout & Setting Out
The installation layout is established according to the approved drawings.
Panel or Sheet Positioning
Wall panels or sheets are positioned and aligned with the building structure.
Fastening
Appropriate fasteners are installed according to the selected system.
Joint & Overlap Installation
Panel joints, overlaps and connection details are completed according to the system requirements.
Flashing Installation
Corners, edges, openings and other required areas are finished with appropriate flashings and trims.
Opening Coordination
Doors, windows, louvers and other openings are checked and coordinated.
Final Inspection
The completed wall system is inspected for alignment, joints, fastening, flashings and overall installation quality.
What you get from building it this way
Effective building enclosure
A properly selected and installed wall system provides weather protection and a durable envelope for industrial and commercial buildings.
Thermal control where it's needed
Insulated PUF panels help support controlled internal conditions where the building's use requires it.
Compatibility with PEB structures
Wall systems are coordinated with primary framing, girts and the overall structural design.
Flexible architectural appearance
Profile, coating and finish can be matched to the building's function and appearance requirements.
Coordinated openings and accessories
Doors, windows, louvers, flashings and drainage are planned together with the wall system, not added after.
Suitable for large industrial buildings
Panelized wall systems scale efficiently across large-span industrial, warehouse, cold storage and PEB structures.

Frequently asked questions
A building-envelope system installed over a supporting structure to enclose and protect a building. Metal wall cladding is commonly used for industrial sheds, warehouses, factories and pre-engineered steel buildings.
Insulated sandwich panels that generally consist of metal facing layers with a polyurethane foam insulation core, used for walls and other building-envelope applications where insulation is required.
Metal wall cladding primarily provides building enclosure, while PUF panels combine wall enclosure with an integrated insulation core. The appropriate system depends on the building's functional and thermal requirements.
Yes — PUF panels can be used as part of cold storage wall systems where thermal insulation is required, designed as part of the complete insulated building envelope.
Yes — for suitable processing and packaging areas, with surface, joint, insulation and hygiene requirements established according to the specific facility.
They can be used in selected pharmaceutical and controlled-environment applications where insulated, cleanable wall systems are required, per the facility's technical requirements.
Yes — metal wall cladding and insulated panels can be coordinated with the secondary structural system of a pre-engineered steel building.
There is no single thickness suitable for every project — it should be determined based on thermal performance requirements, building application, environmental conditions and project specifications.
Performance depends on panel joints, fasteners, flashings, seals and installation quality as well as the panel itself. Proper detailing and installation are important for moisture management.
Yes — dimensions, profile, colour, finish, openings, insulation requirements and architectural considerations can all be selected per project.
Yes — selected existing buildings can be evaluated for cladding replacement, with the existing structure and supporting members assessed before installing a new system.
Service life depends on panel construction, facing material, coating, environmental exposure, installation quality and maintenance — a specific expectation should be based on the selected product and project conditions.
