Palmerston North’s Insulation Panel and Door Co Ltd is the largest New Zealand-owned manufacturer of insulated panels and doors; a product widely used across numerous industries to build temperature controlled environments and energy efficient buildings.
What are insulated panels and why use them? Insulated panels are a composite building material consisting of two layers of pre-finished colour steel and a core of rigid insulating foam. The panels are lightweight, strong and have a high insulative value, leading to fewer draughts and less maintenance cost Economic, quick construction does not require conventional steel and timber framing, saving money and time and producing a clean, uncluttered building High thermal insulation properties make the panels especially suitable for cool stores and freezers. The quality powder-coated paint finish provides a smooth hygienic surface ideal for food processing buildings
The privately owned Kiwi company manufactures polystyrene cores and colour steel covered panels and doors for businesses nationwide and has gone from strength to strength in its 14-year history. An ability to supply and install the insulated building product with short turnaround times makes Insulation Panel and Door the recommended choice when constructing a cool store, cold store, freezer, food processing plant or fire-resistant storage facility. From the dairy industry to wineries, supermarkets and leisure centres, uses for the material are as varied as the industries the company supplies. Managing director Phil Julian established the company in 1996 after working for an insulation
“General lead times for material is five working days and we have crews of panel installers available in the North Island,” Julian says.
“Our policy is basically to listen to what our customer needs and wants. And they want short lead times and excellent on-site performance,” Julian says.
The panels are available in a variety of core material, such as fire resistant cores, to comply with insurance company recommendations. The panel manufacture and installation meets New Zealand building standards.
His company is 100 percent New Zealand owned and not affiliated with an overseas manufacturing franchise. It employs about 50 staff nationwide. “We’ve built the business up steadily over time and supply a wide range of industries — food processors or packaging plants to service stations or cow sheds.” Insulation Panel and Door Co Ltd has just finished working on the largest milk powder tower in the southern hemisphere for Fonterra in Edendale, Southland. Another project is relocation work for the Ohakea helicopter squadron.
There is no job too big or small for Insulation Panel and Door Co Ltd and free quotes can be given by its team of experienced sales crew, offering a competitive pricing in comparison to similar such manufacturers, Julian says. Wherever you are and whatever you require by way of insulated panels and doors, save yourself the time and contact Julian and his team today and have your optimised-energy, insulated building up in no time.
