? Key Takeaways
?️ Prefabricated composite panels and traditional sandwich panels both achieve Class A/B1 fire rating — the difference lies in system integration and verification level.
? System integration: prefabricated composite panels include pre-engineered connection details, accessories, and system-level test reports; traditional sandwich panels are panel-only.
? Airtightness: prefabricated composite panels offer factory-controlled airtightness; traditional sandwich panels depend on on-site work.
? Fire verification: prefabricated composite panels offer system-level fire verification; traditional sandwich panels offer panel-level verification.
? Cost: prefabricated composite panels have a higher initial unit price but lower total project cost; traditional sandwich panels are cheaper initially but require more on-site labor.
? SAMZOON provides both prefabricated composite and traditional sandwich panels, with selection guidance based on application requirements for South China projects.
