"How much do sandwich panels cost in Malaysia?"

This article provides the factors that affect sandwich panel cost, and what project owners should consider before buying.

What Are Sandwich Panels?

Sandwich panels are composite building materials consisting of two steel layers and an insulated core. The core is typically made from Polyurethane (PU), Rockwool, or Expanded Polystyrene (EPS).

They are commonly used for:

• Factory walls and roofs

• Cold storage rooms

• Cleanrooms 

• Fire-rated partitions

What Factors Affect the Price?

According to BRD’s technical and sales team, several factors influence the total cost of sandwich panels:

1. Core Material Type

The core of a sandwich panel determines its thermal insulation, fire resistance, and cost.

PU (Polyurethane) Offers excellent thermal insulation (ideal for cold rooms, freezer rooms). Moderately priced. Rockwool Fire-resistant and soundproof. Required for fire-rated or high-spec cleanroom projects. Costs more than PU or EPS. EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) The most economical. Provides basic insulation but not fire-rated. Suitable for budget walls or temporary structures.

Choosing the right core depends on your project’s function and safety requirements.

2. Panel Thickness

Sandwich Panel Panel Thickness available

• Cleanroom

• Coldroom

• EPS (Expanded Polystyrene)

• PU (Polyurethane)

• Rockwool
  

50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm

Thicker panels offer better insulation, soundproofing, and strength.

For cold rooms, 100mm or 150mm is often required. For walls, 50–75mm is typical.

3. Steel Sheet Thickness & Coating

Each sandwich panel is covered with color-coated steel sheets / PPGI or Aluminum. The thickness and coating quality affect both durability and price.

Steel Thickness: Usually 0.4mm – 0.6mm

4. Panel Size & Customization

Width standard 1 meter Length can be custom-cut based on your building size, usually from 2 meters to 12 meters

Standard sizes are more cost-effective, while longer or specially shaped panels require extra processing. Choosing the right panel dimensions during planning helps balance cost, performance, and construction speed.

5. Order Quantity

Sandwich Panel manufacturers like BRD produce panels using continuous production lines. When you order in large quantities:

• Raw materials are purchased in bulk, reducing material cost per square meter.

• Production setup time (for mold, machine settings, etc.) is spread across more panels.

• Labor and handling costs per panel decrease.

This efficiency allows manufacturers to offer discounted prices for larger orders.

6. Sandwich Panel Installation and Delivery

The cost of sandwich panels doesn’t just depend on material—it also varies based on delivery distance, panel weight, site access, and installation complexity. Longer distances, hard-to-reach sites, and specialized projects may increase the price. At BRD New Materials, we offer one-stop delivery and installation services, ensuring smooth coordination and transparent pricing for all project sizes across Malaysia.

Final Thoughts

Sandwich panel pricing is not just about the square meter rate — it’s the combination of materials, specs, logistics, and service. That’s why it’s important to:

• Get a custom quotation based on your actual project

• Understand what’s included (materials only vs. supply + install)

• Work with a trusted supplier to avoid hidden costs or poor quality

Thus, valid space increases 1/m2 per 11.8mm. in other words, it can increase 6/m2 per 100/m2 . 4 moistureproof waterproof will keep dry and leave no stains. During humid days, the boards will not condense water either. suitable to be installed in such wet areas as kitchens, bath rooms, basements because of its moistureproof and waterproof. 5 fireproof Fireproof limit of ZJT boards is more than 4 hours and does not emit toxic gases under degree. The nonflammable performance reaches national A-class standard. 6 heat insulation ZJT board is composed of special material to keep heat and thermal within a favorable condition. At same time, the ZJT boards are able to adjust moisture automatically and keep moisture at a balance level. 7 sound insulation The raw materials of ZJT boards have good performance in sound insulation. ZJT board with 90mm thickness gains sound insulation of 42dB. 8 walls can be nailed and grooved ZJT board can be grooved to have conductor arrangement or nailed to hang heavy object. The surface of ZJT board is smooth enough to make finisher processing directly with tile, wall trim and so on. 9 good integration By using steels at the joints, the strength of walls is high enough to do partition in large story height and long span structures and it anti-seismic performance is several times higher than masonry.
