FAQs

BRUCHA panels are sandwich panels. They consist of two sheet metal cover shells that are shear-resistantly connected to the insulation core made of polyurethane (PUR)/polyisocyanurate (PIR) or mineral wool.

Panels with a mineral wool core are non-combustible according to EN 13501 and therefore have a much higher fire resistance. Sandwich panels with PUR/PIR core have excellent thermal insulation properties and are characterised by their low dead weight.

We do not produce roof panels with stainless steel on the outside.

Roof panels can be used for detached houses, but only in the cold roof version.

So far there are only adapter panels between FP old and FP-F. As long as no new geometry is developed in the joint for FP-F panels, there will be no connections with FP-P panels.

An FP-P60 panel cannot be produced due to the joint geometry.

Our BRUCHA panels are produced exclusively in our production plant in Michelhausen in Lower Austria in our state-of-the-art facilities.

In principle, our panels are produced to order. However, stock items are available at the company headquarters or at the southern branch in Großwilfersdorf. If you have any questions, please contact our staff at [email protected]. 

Reservations are possible for production planning, but the timing must be agreed (parts list).

On the continuous lines, the panels are shortened to the necessary lengths in the production process. If the cutting machine (band saw) cannot process short panels due to the production speed (length less than 250 cm), the panel must be produced with double the length and cut to the correct length on an external machine. This procedure causes an additional effort in the production process, which is declared and charged as "short length".

Sandwich panels with steel face sheets generally have a corrosion protection of more than 15 years when used in a structure. The protection period is defined as the time until the first partial renewal. With appropriate maintenance, the protection period increases considerably. You can find further information here: BRUCHA colour spectrum.

The service life depends on the type of panel and is defined by the Main Association of Generally Sworn and Court Certified Experts of Austria.

Warranties depend on the geographical location. The warranty agreement is between the manufacturer (sheet manufacturer) and the processor (producer).
Standard guarantees for wall and façade systems according to Voest:
Rust through for RC 3 Z 275 15 years warranty and adhesion of coating for RC 3 Z 275 8 years warranty
Standard warranty services for roof systems according to Voest:
Rust through for RC 3 Z 275 12 years warranty and adhesion of coating for RC 3 Z 275 5 years warranty
Colour deviations must not occur in one view; care must be taken that the same sheet batch is used per view. The assessment of a colour deviation can only be carried out by means of colour measuring instruments and reference cards. Permissible colour deviations are defined according to EN ISO 11 664-4 (< 2 delta e).

Standard: 0.5 mm/0.6 mm on the inside or 0.6 mm on the outside (other thicknesses available on request).

BRUCHA panels are equipped with the required seals in the panel joint area as standard. You will find an overview of recommended sealing tapes (e.g. wall connection seal, contact sealing tapes, etc.) in our accessories catalogue, and we show you application examples in our handling brochure.

Horizontal installation 90°: Mineral wool max. side length 1500 mm; PUR/PIR max. side length 2000 mm

There is a wide range of coatings and surfaces (PE Pure 25, PUR-PA 50 µm, Foodsafe PVC 150 µm, stainless steel, and much more besides). In addition to an extensive profile selection, all RAL colours up to iridescent, colour-changing surfaces are available. For detailed information, please refer to our BRUCHA colour range - downloads.

The surface colour shades according to RAL are divided into colour groups (I – III, from very light to dark). Click here for the BRUCHA colour spectrum - Downloads.

In the case of partial or repeat orders, the use of new sheet metal coils can lead to deviations due to different sheet metal batches. In order to avoid a colour change within a front, axis or view side, it is advisable to already provide the corresponding information when ordering. More pronounced colour deviations from the RAL shades are possible with PVDF coatings. Please also plan sufficient reserve panels especially for special colours and/or deviating construction widths (for WALL and FACADE).

There is no minimum order quantity for the colours in the BASIC colour range, only for selected/marked colours there is a process-related surcharge for orders of less than 500 m². In the SUPERIOR colour range, minimum order quantities must be observed. Please speak to your personal contact (green speech bubble).

All panels are finished on the inside in RAL 9002, profile 1 as standard. The design options for the outside can be found in our colour range, where you will find all colour and profile variants, as well as coating options for the surfaces.

Proper cleaning not only ensures the visually perfect appearance of BRUCHA panels, but also guarantees lasting product quality. Microorganisms are removed in the course of cleaning, and microbiological cleanliness can be ensured by disinfection. Tips on careful maintenance for a long service life can be found in the BRUCHA colour spectrum.

You will find information on standard connection options in our handling brochure and detailed illustrations in our accessories catalogue. In addition, you have the opportunity to read up on processing tips in the installation guidelines.

We will be happy to provide you with the contact details of professional panel installation companies (installation list) in your area. Please contact your personal contact person (green speech bubble).

With octopus loading, the panels in the package no longer have to be turned at the construction site. Octopus loading is used for roof panels to facilitate handling on the construction site.

Due to the large number of sheet metal coils, you may receive sheet metal from a different batch for a later reorder. This can result in colour differences. This effect can be avoided if you always include a reserve panel in your order.

In our design department, we can work out individual installation plans on request. We can also determine parts lists for the production of the sandwich panels for you.

A fastening verification can be determined in the course of a static preliminary design.

BRUCHA panels are equipped with seals in the joint area (tongue and groove joint). The design of the seals is shown on the respective product data sheets (e.g. BRUCHA panel PUR/PIR roof – DP – standard triple seal for optimum condensation protection).

BRUCHA panels can be installed vertically as well as horizontally or diagonally for an extraordinary visual appearance. The basic prerequisite is the appropriate substructure and technical clarification regarding the spans.

In principle, panels with PUR/PIR and mineral wool cores can be joined together. For detailed technical information or the use of an adapter panel, please contact your personal contact partner (green speech bubble).

Information on the correct and professional installation of sandwich panels can be found in our published installation guidelines. We also offer our customers installation training courses (theoretical principles and practical implementation).

The type and length of the screws to be used depends on the substructure and the panel thickness. You will find the appropriate screws for wood, steel or concrete in our accessories catalogue. If you are unsure about choosing the right screws, please contact your personal contact partner (green speech bubble).

Photovoltaic systems may only be fastened to the substructure using hanger bolts. The BRUCHAPaneel PIR+ roof DP also has the option of fastening using the K2 BasicRail system or EJOT solar fastener.

The temperature range for normal cold rooms is from 0 °C to plus 8 °C.
The temperature range for deep-freeze rooms is from 0 °C to minus 30 °C.

There are currently five different floor designs with different point loads. We will be happy to inform you personally about loads and exact designs at any time. Our standard surface has slip class 3 according to standard EN 314-2 (WISA-Hexa Grip).

A cold room can be installed by the customer. The necessary installation instructions can be found in the download section.

We offer cold room doors in a wide range of dimensions with different frame types and surface types. We will be happy to inform you personally about details at any time.

By means of invitations to tender (submissions), contracting authorities invite tenders in writing and in public for works, services or supplies. These tenders must comply exactly with the requirements of public procurement law.

The heat transfer coefficient (U-value) is the unit of measurement for determining the heat loss of a building component. The U-value indicates the amount of heat that passes through 1 m² of a building component per unit of time at a temperature difference of 1 K.

The amount of air flowing out of the building through leaks must be forced back into the building by the fan and is measured. The so-called n50 value (unit: 1/h) indicates how often the interior volume is moved per hour.

In high-bay warehouse construction, we supply the complete building envelope. 

The panel joints and corner joints are made using a multi-layer special sealing system. Likewise, the door frames are welded airtight to ensure the controlled atmosphere in the room.

Of course; we also produce our BRUCHA panels for private individuals.

Our company does not have a separate department for refrigeration technology. In this area, we work together with experienced partners.
