Sandwich panels are quickly becoming the top choice for construction across Malaysia, especially for factories, warehouses, cold storage, and cleanroom facilities. One of the most frequently asked questions we receive at BRD is:
"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.
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:
Fire-rated partitions
According to BRD’s technical and sales team, several factors influence the total cost of sandwich panels:
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.
| Sandwich Panel | Panel Thickness available |
| 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.
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
– Thicker steel = stronger, more expensive
| 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.
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.
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.
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:
