Before You Order
Specification Checklist
Most specification mistakes happen early. Wrong thickness for the temperature delta. Wrong fire class for the occupancy type. Wrong coating grade for the site conditions. Use this checklist before you freeze your bill of quantities.
What to Lock Before You Order
- Match panel thickness to your actual temperature requirement, not a rule of thumb. Get the U-value calculated.
- Choose facing material for your actual environment. PPGI for standard industrial. Stainless steel where washdown or food contact applies.
- Pick coating by exposure. PE for inland sites. SMP for durability. PVDF for coastal or chemically aggressive atmospheres.
- Confirm fire class against your occupancy and insurance requirements. Ask your insurer what they need before you order.
- Request thermal conductivity test data and NABL certification with the quotation. Not after.
After Installation
- Walk all joint lines and flashings after every monsoon season. Sealant failure is the most common leak path.
- Clean panel surfaces with mild detergent only. Abrasive cleaners cut through the coating and shorten its life.
- Re-check fastener torque every two years on exposed roofing panels.

Questions
Before You Specify
The questions our engineering team gets asked most by architects, procurement teams, and cold storage contractors.
What thickness do I need for cold storage?
Chiller rooms (0°C to +5°C) typically need 60mm. Standard cold rooms need 80 to 100mm. Deep freeze needs 100 to 120mm. Blast freeze needs 120 to 150mm. PIR panels can achieve equivalent insulation at slightly thinner profiles than PUF.
Can PIR panels be used for pharmaceutical clean rooms?
Yes. PIR panels with smooth stainless steel or galvanised steel facings are widely used in GMP-compliant pharmaceutical environments. The smooth surface is easy to clean and meets WHO GMP and EU GMP Annex 1 requirements.
What is the difference between PIR and PUF panels?
PIR has a more thermally stable foam core. Better fire resistance, lower smoke toxicity, better dimensional stability under temperature cycling, and better thermal performance at the same thickness. PUF is more affordable. PIR is the professional specification for fire-sensitive and thermally demanding applications.
What is the lead time?
Standard lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from confirmed order. Custom RAL colours and special facings may add 1 to 2 weeks. For urgent requirements, contact our team directly.
Do you deliver and install across India?
We deliver across all states from our Derabassi facility. Installation teams available on request. Handover includes as-built documentation, test certificates, and installation records.
What certifications do ACE PIR panels carry?
ISO 9001:2015 quality management. NABL-accredited thermal testing. Eurofins-certified fire resistance. Defence approvals for government and MoD projects. Every one independently verified.
