Sandwich panels with weather-resistant steel cladding create a unique architectural aesthetic and ensure maximum energy efficiency for buildings.
In 2021, Finnish company Ruukki introduced Patina sandwich panels with mineral wool filling, with Cor-Ten exterior cladding and polymer-coated steel interior cladding.
Patina sandwich panels have a patented lock shape that prevents internal corrosion at the joints.
Ruukki Patina gives the building’s facade a striking appearance that changes color over time from silver at the time of delivery to a rich brown in a few years. This property of Corten steel creates a “living” facade that attracts attention. The rich rusty brown color with an aging effect blends perfectly with glass, concrete, and greenery.
Cor-Ten steel requires no maintenance and has a long service life. Thanks to its ability to form a new oxide film (patina) on the steel surface, owners can save on building maintenance, as the surface repairs itself without the need for repair or painting. The high quality of steel and mineral wool ensures that Patina sandwich panels will last more than 50 years without the need for special care.
Corten panels meet the highest environmental criteria, allowing building investors to earn more points in LEED and BREEAM certification systems.
The unique properties of Cor-Ten sandwich panels give the building elegance and timelessness, as well as setting it apart from the many other commercial properties in the area.
The client wanted to create a building that would respect the heritage and refer to the colors of the facades of the historic brick buildings in the area.
The result is a modern, functional building that meets high standards for airtightness, fire safety, and durability. Patina sandwich panels ensure a long service life for the building and reduce its carbon footprint.
Thanks to their excellent airtightness, the panels have improved the building’s energy rating and enabled savings of up to 30% on heating and air conditioning costs, which is very important for large sports facilities.
The building is heated using geothermal energy and is constructed from sandwich panels with maximum thermal insulation. The architecturally attractive Cor-Ten façade attracts attention, which is an important advantage for tenants of the property, which is located along the motorway.
Ruukki Patina sandwich panels give the building an elegance that blends naturally into its surroundings.
The facade of the office section, made of Patina sandwich panels, makes the building stand out and blends harmoniously with the surrounding greenery. The rich orange-brown color of the panels contrasts beautifully with the gray tones of the production and storage section of the facility. The building features a unique solution – Cor-Ten radius wall sandwich panels.
