Control 30 Insulated Panels – Technical info
We aim to provide you with easy-to-follow, relevant technical information, suited to various applications.
Whilst we are confident the below data will help you specify, design and build your project using our Hemsec Clean panels, we always encourage further conversations around your project-specific requirements. This can make the most of our panel’s capabilities, allowing us to tailor our technical details with a project-specific guarantee.
Not yet at build stage? Great, it’s best to discuss requirements as early as possible to ensure we get the panels you need, when you need them…

For specific Fire Rated spans, please refer to the Hemsec Fire Rating Matrix document.
The stated temperature difference may be increased to allow for negative temperature zones (i.e. Freezers) however this will affect the stated spans above, refer to the Freezer Applications table below for further guidance.
Max. Single ceiling spans are based on 0.9kN point load at mid-span and 0.25kN/m2 UDL (Hemsec strongly recommend referring to our Ceiling Care document for greater detail). Minimum bearing/support of 50mm at panel ends. Consult Hemsec for further information on permitted bearing loads and edge supports.
Panels are manufactured to bespoke lengths starting at the stated minimums above; maximum lengths stated may be increased upon referral to Hemsec up to a manufacturing capability limit of 15m**
** Hemsec should be consulted on any panel lengths greater than the maximum stated in the above table due to the difficulties faced when handling and on installation. Spans greater than 12.50m(Walls) / 8.80m(Ceilings) typically captured within the Control 60 product ranges.
*** Calculated using the method required by the Building Regulations Part L2 (England & Wales) and Building Standards Part J (Scotland).
Thermal transmittance based on λ mean = 0.02038 W/Mk.
