1. Regular Shinko Sheets (Zinc or Corrugated Metal Sheets)

These are single-layer metal sheets, commonly used in:

• Warehouse and hangar roofing

• Outdoor wall cladding

• Carports and site shelters

Advantages:

• Lightweight and easy to install

• Cost-effective

• Available in various thicknesses and colors

Limitations:

• No thermal or sound insulation

• May require more maintenance in hot environments

2. Insulated Shinko Sheets (Sandwich Panels)

These consist of two metal layers with an insulating core (PU or EPS foam). They're used in:

• Cold storage rooms

• Roofs exposed to direct sunlight

• Buildings that need energy efficiency

Advantages:

• High thermal insulation

• Reduces noise transmission

• Saves energy costs by minimizing heat gain

Disadvantages:

• Higher upfront cost

• Requires skilled installation

Conclusion

If your project doesn’t require thermal insulation, regular Shinko sheets are a practical and affordable choice. However, for enhanced comfort, lower energy bills, and heat protection, insulated Shinko sheets are the better investment.
