You already know that insulation plays a major role in controlling the indoor environment in an energy-efficient home. A properly insulated building will maintain a fairly comfortable temperature, no matter what the weather is doing outside. You can create the same type of temperature-efficient outdoor space by using insulated wall panels on your patio, enclosed verandah or carport. Here’s everything you need to know with our insulated wall panels explained guide.

What Are Insulated Panels

Insulated panels are prefabricated wall sections that have an inner core which is cemented in between two outer sections. The inner core will have air spaces that trap the air coming from outside and effectively slow its movement. This is the same principle incorporated into other insulation materials such as batts that work best when they’re not compressed but are allowed to effectively trap air within their construction.

Benefits of Insulated Wall Panels

Create A Temperature Controlled Environment

Insulated panels can keep your outdoor area cooler in summer and warmer in winter without exorbitant energy consumption. This means you’ll be saving on your heating and cooling bills all year round and get to enjoy your outdoor space in comfort.

Excellent Noise Reduction

Thanks to their unique construction, insulated panels provide a buffer to help quieten external noises such as traffic, heavy rain or wind. This helps to maintain a more peaceful environment so you can enjoy your quiet relaxation time without too much interruption.

Durable Construction

Insulated panels are made to withstand our harsh Australian climate making them extra strong and durable and able to handle extreme weather conditions. This makes them a wise choice when you’re building in more remote regions that experience adverse weather conditions more frequently.

Easy To Install

As insulated panels are prefabricated, they’re much easier to install compared to other materials commonly used for walls. Essentially, the panels just click together seamlessly, cutting down construction time and making the whole process almost effortless.

Types of Insulated Panels

EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Panels

EPS panels, also commonly known as sandwich panels, are excellent at maintaining a temperature-controlled environment. They’re also lightweight and easy to work with while having the added benefit of being moisture-resistant and vermin-proof.

XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) Panels

XPS panels are constructed using rigid foam boards. They are completely moisture-resistant and have excellent thermal qualities. They’re also very durable thanks to their high compression strength.

Applications of Insulated wall Panels

Insulated wall panels are most commonly used when screening outdoor spaces such as patios, verandahs, and carports. This allows you to use your outdoor entertainment area all year round because you’ll have a nice cool or warm spot to entertain family and friends or just to relax after a long day.

Why Choose Insulated Wall Panels for Energy-Efficient Construction?

Insulated wall panels, as explained, are the perfect choice when you’re looking for energy-efficient construction. These pre-fab panels are easy to work with and have excellent thermal qualities. Plus, they’re durable and made to last, even under our sometimes harsh weather conditions. They’re also one of the most cost-effective ways to create outdoor rooms that you’ll want to spend time in all year round.
