What is a shed wall?
The wall of the shed is one of the main and important components of these inclined metal structures, which must be carefully chosen in choosing its type and cover, considering the specific use and application of the shed. The uses and cases of sheds can be used in various factories, chicken farms, airplane hangars, sports halls, etc.
Various materials can be used to build shed walls, but sandwich wall panels are among the most common materials used to build shed walls.
What points should be paid attention to when choosing the wall covering of the shed?
In choosing a suitable material for the construction of the shed wall, several factors and points should be considered, these factors are:
- The material used to cover the walls of the shed should be light and easily applicable so that if there is a need to make changes or repairs in the body of the walls, it can be easily applied.
- Using a material that slows down the project implementation will not be economical, so it is recommended to use materials that save the cost and time needed to build the shed wall.
- The covering of the shed walls must meet environmental standards, otherwise it may cause damage to the environment.
- By insulating the walls and preventing the entry and exit of ambient temperature, it is possible to help reduce energy consumption costs.
- This cover should have high resistance and strength so that it is not easily destroyed in case of natural accidents and disasters such as flood, earthquake or fire and prevent further possible damage.
Shed wall covering with sandwich panel
As we mentioned earlier, sandwich wall panels are one of the most popular materials for building shed walls.
If the shed is going to be placed in a cold storage environment, the best cover for it is this sandwich panel, because sandwich panels have high insulation power and can insulate the walls of these metal structures against heat, cold and sound.
It should be noted that before covering the walls of the shed with sandwich panels, the foundation must be made. Substructure before installing wall sandwich panel is generally done with the help of profiles can.
From the point of view of their insulating layer, sandwich panels are divided into several groups: polyurethane sandwich panels, polystyrene sandwich panels, and stone wool sandwich panels. Which of these insulation foams is more suitable for the shed wall sandwich panel, depends on the use of that shed, because these foams have differences in terms of insulation degree.
The best insulating foam for shed wall sandwich panels
Wall sandwich panels used to cover shed walls can have polyurethane or polystyrene foam. Polyurethane has stronger insulating properties than polystyrene, therefore, polyurethane sandwich panels are generally used to cover the walls of cold storage sheds.
The whole process of making polystyrene wall sandwich panels is similar to polyurethane panels, with the difference that the quality of polystyrene is slightly lower and it has less heat and sound insulation than polyurethane walls. Due to the fact that the price of polystyrene is lower than polyurethane, it is recommended to use this foam for the walls of sheds where the insulation of the walls is not important.
Building a shed wall with cement blocks
It should be mentioned that the walls of the shed are still built with traditional materials such as brick and cement. One of the cheapest materials that can be used to build a shed wall are cement blocks.
The use of this material will also have limitations. For example, cement blocks do not have high compressive strength, so they are not recommended for building walls with a height of more than 8 meters. Considering that the opening of the shed is bigger than other structures, if cement blocks are used to build the walls of the shed, it is necessary to do corner drawing before installing the walls.
Cement blocks can be used in both solid and hollow forms, and the hollow type acts as sound insulation. This type of wall has a relatively good resistance, because in its construction a mortar of cement, lime and water is used. Cement blocks can be used to build external walls and in some cases, internal walls.
Building shed walls with AAC or Habelx blocks
If you prefer to use traditional materials to build the walls of a shed instead of sandwich wall panels, the best material that can be used is AAC cement blocks.
These blocks have more compressive strength than the cement walls that we examined a little bit ago. AAC blocks perform better in terms of sound and thermal insulation and have a more affordable price than other traditional materials for the construction of shed walls.
35 cm wall with brick façade
In the past, thirty-five- centimeter walls with 10-hole yellow bricks were used more for the construction of shed walls, but today, with the supply of materials with better performance, the use of traditional materials no longer seems logical. Although these materials are stronger than cement block walls, they do not have much strength compared to natural factors such as earthquakes, so using this material to build shed walls is not recommended despite the presence of more resistant and optimal materials such as wall sandwich panels..
Building a shed wall with 3D panels
These walls are among the prefabricated walls that have two parts. It is a part of the core of the wall, which is made of non-refractory unolite and plays the role of insulation. The material of the other part of it is a steel grid that is connected by truss connections.
Is a 35 cm wall with brick facade suitable for shed walls?
