  2. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

    Sandwich panels have λ-values from 0.024 W/(m·K) for polyurethane to 0.05 W/(m·K) for mineral wool. Therefore, they can achieve different U-values depending on the core and the thickness of the panel. The installation of a system with sandwich panels minimizes thermal bridges through the joints.
