What is Sandwich Tile?
Popularly known as sandwich tile, this product has its technical name as thermo-acoustic tile, because it manages to control and minimize the expansion of these two factors within the building.
Image 02: Not only as roofs, tiles can also be used to compose very modern facades.
The metallic finish you see is produced by zinc. While the central insulator can be either EPS (Styrofoam) or polyurethane. The choice between one and the other depends on the application.
EPS is great for insulating acoustics, while polyurethane is great for thermal comfort.
