Manufacturing Process: Precision & Quality Control
QueenCore panels are produced using state-of-the-art continuous laminating lines, ensuring consistency and quality:

1. Uncoiling & Profiling: Metal coils are fed into the line, cleaned, and precisely profiled into the desired shape (e.g., hidden fix, roof profile).
2. Pre-heating & Adhesive Application: Facings are pre-heated, and a controlled layer of high-performance PU adhesive is applied.
3. Core Injection & Expansion: Liquid PU components (polyol and isocyanate) are injected between the facings. The mixture rapidly expands, filling the cavity and bonding chemically and mechanically to the facings.
4. Continuous Pressing & Curing: The sandwich passes through a precisely calibrated double-band laminator applying controlled pressure and temperature, ensuring perfect bonding, uniform core density, and panel flatness while the PU cures.
5. Controlled Cooling: Panels are cooled under tension to stabilize dimensions and properties.
6. Cutting to Length: Computer-controlled saws cut panels precisely to ordered lengths.
7. Quality Inspection & Packaging: Every panel undergoes rigorous checks for dimensions, flatness, adhesion, surface quality, and insulation properties before protective packaging for shipment.

Application Scenes:

• Industrial & Warehousing: Factories, logistics centers, workshops (walls, roofs).
• Cold Storage & Refrigeration: Freezers, chillers, food processing plants (critical thermal efficiency).
• Clean Rooms & Pharmaceutical: Laboratories, production facilities requiring controlled environments.
• Commercial Buildings: Retail outlets, supermarkets, showrooms, offices.
• Agricultural Buildings: Livestock housing, storage facilities.
• Sports & Leisure Facilities: Gymnasiums, indoor arenas.
• Modular Construction: Rapid assembly of prefabricated structures.
• Building Renovation: Over-cladding existing structures for thermal upgrade and aesthetics.

Installation: Speed, Simplicity, and Security
QueenCore panels are designed for fast, efficient, and safe installation:

• Hidden Fix Systems: Most common for walls and roofs. Panels interlock along their vertical edges. Fixing clips are secured to the supporting structure (purlin/rafter), and the panel tongue engages the clip, hiding the fastener. Ensures weather-tightness and clean aesthetics.
• Overlap Systems: Primarily for roofing. Panels overlap at the side joints, fastened directly through the overlap to the substructure.
• Key Considerations:
  • Requires trained installers familiar with the specific panel system.
  • Sub-structure (purlins, rafters) must be accurately aligned and leveled.
  • Correct lifting and handling procedures are essential to prevent damage (use spreader bars, suction lifters).
  • Sealing of panel joints (end laps, side laps) using compatible sealants and/or factory-applied butyl tapes is critical for weatherproofing and thermal continuity.
  • Follow QueenCore’s detailed installation manuals and safety guidelines rigorously.
  • Installation is significantly faster than traditional construction methods, reducing on-site labor and project timelines.
