The owner of a private vehicle does not always have unlimited terms for building a garage. Typically, body protection needs to be erected several months or weeks in advance. Modern methods come to the rescue. It is enough to learn about the technology of building garages from sandwich panels to realize a small dream in no time. And prepare a reliable box for the winter period.
Panel performance
The quality and durability of building material for a garage depends on the properties of the materials used. The classic layout involves the use of three layers. External, internal and filler (insulation). It is to the middle layer that the most attention should be paid. Indeed, depending on the selected insulation, the operational properties of the entire garage will depend:
- Polyurethane foam - has a minimum weight, is absolutely not afraid of high humidity and does not tend to quickly give off heat.
- Expanded polystyrene - like the previous material, it has all the advantages. But, the honeycomb structure can accumulate bacteria and serve as a breeding ground for fungi.
- Glass wool - very rarely acts as a heater for sandwich panels. It is dangerous if you try to drill such panels to lay electrical wires and other communications in them.
- Basalt wool - if the joints are properly sealed, it acts as a good insulation. However, it is worth remembering that it tends to accumulate and retain moisture, without the necessary ventilation.
The choice of material largely depends on the operating climate and the availability of additional heating in the garage.
Advantages of the whole construction
As mentioned at the very beginning of the article, the main advantage of sandwich panels is the speed of building a garage. If you build a room for a car on a ready-made foundation, you can handle the work in a few days. But besides this, there are other advantages of modern technology:
- maintains a normal temperature all year round;
- dampens most sounds, reducing noise levels in sleeping quarters;
- no external and internal finishing with decorative materials required;
- light weight of panels, does not require construction equipment for erection;
- construction is possible at any time of the year.
