Prefabricated Metal Building

Prefabricated metal buildings are buildings that are constructed by prefabrication( the process of manufacturing components at a factory and then assembling them at a specific site). Considering the various advantages these accord such as cost effectiveness and minimal maintenance requirements, it won't be an exaggeration to say that these buildings are a perfect solution for various commercial, industrial and agricultural applications. In fact, the popularity of prefabricated metal buildings has considerably increased over the past few years across the world, with application areas that erstwhile were not thought of as fit for these buildings now increasingly being flooded with them.


Epack Polymers Pvt. Ltd. is a ISO 9001:2000 certified organization established in the year 1989 that is engaged in offering prefabricated metal buildings. Apart from prefabricated metal buildings, some other products of the organization include railway telecom shelters, industrial sheds, ripening chambers, EPS panels and many more. Since establishment, Epack Polymers Pvt. Ltd. has steadily grown, with its products being acclaimed universally. Going forward, this growth trajectory is only expected to continue.


History of Prefabricated Metal Buildings :-

Prefabricated metal buildings have probably been manufactured for over a couple of centuries, with the first advertised prefab building being the Manning cottage in Australia. Advertised in the year 1837, a London carpenter named Henry manning constructed the building components, afterwards shipping and assembling them using the services of innumerable British emigrants. The usage of prefabricated metal buildings gradually grew in Australia and consequently also spread to other parts of the world such as the Caribbean, England and also the United States.

During the second war, prefabricated metal buildings were widely used for providing temporary shelters to military personnel. After the end of second world war, these buildings were the preferred solution when it came to providing housing to people whose homes were destroyed in the war. From here on, the usage of prefabricated metal buildings kept increasing worldwide, fueled by the economic boom in United States and Europe.


Advantages of Prefabricated Metal Buildings :-

• The usage of these buildings speed up the overall construction process, thus saving on labor and other incremental costs.
• Minimal effect of natural occurrences such as extreme weather on construction process.
• Compared to site built construction, there is lesser wastage of materials.
• Prefabricated metal buildings are ideal for use in large projects such as government housing schemes, official complexes etc.
• The buildings have optimal resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
• The construction of these buildings is much more environment friendly than on site constructed ones.

Application areas of Prefabricated Metal Buildings :-

• Warehousing.
• On site storage facilities.
• Workshops.
• Temporary fire stations.
• Recreational buildings.
• Educational buildings.
• Temporary commercial facilities such as showroom space.

Industrial Prefabricated Structures

Industrial Prefabricated Structures are gradually being thought of and accepted as an effective way of reducing overall cost, man hours, risk and also environmental waste in the construction sector. Due to this reason also, these are widely replacing traditional industrial structures in the developed world as well as the developing world. One noteworthy thing here is the fact that in all this hullabaloo over the prefabricated structures, these aren't yet ideal for every construction project but only for specific ones, with some issues still holding back the growth of this segment.


E-Pack Polymers Pvt. Ltd. is an organization that is indulged in manufacturing and supplying of industrial prefabricated structures. Established in the year 1989, we began with EPS packaging, manufacturing and afterwards diversified into the construction industry. Along with being a renowned manufacturer and supplier, we are also one of the leading exporters of industrial prefabricated structures, with a diverse clientele spread across east and south east Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America and many more geographies.



Industrial Prefabricated Structures are best suited for the following types of projects:

•     Standardized building systems.
•     Complex assemblies.
•     Repetitive sub-components of a building.
•     Constructions in hard to reach places.
•     Temporary construction projects.

Why to use Industrial Prefabricated Structures?

• Compared to conventional structures, these are comparatively inexpensive and also take less man hours in construction, thus increasing the overall productivity.
• For places with minimum or no human habitat that require temporary shelters, industrial prefabricated structures are ideal as they require minimal maintenance.
• Another advantage of industrial prefabricated structures is that these be easily moved to another place that requires them. These are quite easy to install and dismantle.
• Some projects require structures that have a specific feature or attribute, prefabricated structures are optimally suited for such projects.
• These can designed to fit almost any situation, sufficing all major requirements. All major amenities can be provided in industrial prefabricated structures which makes in highly sought after across the globe.

Insulated Sandwich Panel

Insulated sandwich panels are generally used during the construction of walls and roofs of buildings, enclosures of industrial equipments, air conditioning devices etc. The basic function of these panels is to provide protection from weather conditions such as rain, snow etc. Along with it, insulated sandwich panels also provide protection against corrosive factors, moisture, chemicals, fire and many more. Due to their usage across various industries, these panels are available in a variety of designs, with the honeycomb design being widely regarded as the most efficient one due to its optimal mechanical performance and weight.

Insulated sandwich panels are usually made up of three layers. In between two thin skin layers, a low density core is inserted, this is also the reason for these panels to be called as sandwich panels. During its functioning, the low density core takes the shear loads, while also creating a distance between the two skin layers, thus allowing the panel to function properly even under high stress.

Established in the year 1989, Epack Polymers Pvt. Ltd. manufactures and supplies superior grade insulated sandwich panels that are favored by various industrial and commercial sectors. With a wide portfolio of leading names of the automotive and electronics industry as clients, it is one of the leading firms in this sector.

Benefits of insulated sandwich panels: Apart from the benefits mentioned in the first paragraph, sandwich panels provide several added benefits, these are:

• Making walls and roofs leak proof
• Noise insulation
• Good strength parameters, thus allowing for monetary savings in terms of supporting structures
• Long term incremental monetary savings on electricity bills

Application areas of insulated sandwich panels: To put it simply, sandwich panels are almost always recommended in areas where high structural rigidity and low weight is a necessity. Some application areas of these panels are,

•     Air-crafts
•     Packaging
•     Transportation and auto-motives
•     Public utility buildings such as gymnasiums, swimming pools etc
•     Food processing plants

Insulation core within the sandwich panels: The insulation core within the sandwich panels varies a lot, with the core material being used generally falling into either of the below mentioned categories :

• Polyisocyanurate foam
• Polyurethane foam
• Fiberglass or mineral wool ( non combustible)
• Polystyrene( either expanded or extruded)
