High-Quality Insulated Panels for QLD
HIGH-QUALITY INSULATION PANELS
Astra’s Panels are all manufactures with quality as our top priority. Each panel is thoroughly quality checked to ensure that you receive only our most premium products. We provide a fast and smooth delivery and installation process.
EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE PANELS WITH FLAME RETARDANT (EPS-FR)
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels are popular choice for insulation due to their excellent thermal performance, strength to weight ratio, and low density, while also being cost-effective. We also provide a range of EPS panels with fire retardant (EPS-FR) to ensure an extra level of safety.

Custom Panel Fabrication in Brisbane
Astra Panels offers bespoke panel production from its Salisbury, QLD, facility, producing pre-finished structural insulated panels built to project-specific dimensions, materials, and performance requirements. Unlike standard supply, custom fabrication means every element, from core thickness to facing material and finished length, is engineered around your brief before anything leaves the factory. Builders, contractors, and project managers across Brisbane and South East Queensland use this process when a stock panel will not meet the demands of the application.
How Does Custom Fabrication Differ From Standard Panel Supply?
Standard panel supply involves selecting from existing stock dimensions. Bespoke fabrication begins with your design brief: dimensions are cut to finished size, core thickness is selected for the required R-value, and facings are chosen for the specific environment. Kit-form rooms have all components manufactured to finished size, making on-site installation straightforward and minimising waste.
Fabrication for Cold Storage and Temperature-Controlled Environments
This fabrication approach suits controlled-temperature structures particularly well. Astra Panels has constructed cold rooms, freezer rooms, chillers, and cryogenic facilities across South East Queensland's agricultural, horticultural, fisheries, meat, and dairy sectors, as well as hospitals and commercial food handling facilities. Panels for cold storage applications may need to accommodate sub-zero temperature differentials, hygienic facing surfaces, and Queensland's ambient heat loads, all of which influence core selection and panel thickness.
Astra's systems carry AHDB and DPI approvals, and all manufacturing follows Australian standards, providing compliance confidence for commercial and industrial builds across Brisbane, the Lockyer Valley, Moreton Bay, and surrounding regions.
Custom Insulated Panel Fabrication in Brisbane
Astra Panels offers custom insulated panel fabrication from its Salisbury facility, producing made-to-order panels for Queensland's cold storage, food processing, and construction sectors. Where the EPS-FR and PIR panels listed above represent Astra's core product range, this section covers the fabrication service itself: how panels are specified, cut, faced, and delivered to suit your exact project requirements.
Fabrication Capabilities and Specifications
Custom panel fabrication at Astra can accommodate a wide range of project dimensions and performance requirements. Panels are manufactured on continuous laminating machinery to virtually any length required, subject to handling and transport considerations. Core material options include:
- Expanded Polystyrene with Flame Retardant (EPS-FR), valued for its thermal performance and low density.
- Polyisocyanurate (PIR), suited to applications where a thinner profile and higher thermal efficiency are priorities.
- Colorbond-clad facings available for wall and roof applications requiring a pre-finished steel surface.
Because Astra manufactures components in-house from the core material outward, dimensional tolerances and quality checks are applied at each stage before panels leave the Salisbury factory.
Industry Applications for Custom Insulated Panels
Astra's custom insulated panel fabrication may suit a broad range of Queensland industries and project types, including:
- Cool rooms and cold storage facilities for food retail and wholesale distribution.
- Food processing facilities requiring hygienic architectural cladding.
- Commercial freezer construction for hospitality venues, hotels, and service stations.
- Agricultural, horticultural, fisheries, and meat and dairy operations.
- Specialised builds such as refrigerated trailers, mobile food trucks, and prefabricated structures.
See completed examples across these sectors in the Astra Panels project gallery.
Brisbane Manufacturing and Local Collection
Astra Panels fabricates insulated panels at its Salisbury, QLD, facility, located in Brisbane's southern suburbs. Local contractors and builders may collect orders directly from the warehouse, reducing freight lead times for South East Queensland projects. For regional deliveries across QLD and interstate freight, the team can advise on logistics at the time of quoting. Contact the Salisbury team at 07 3277 2366 or email sales@astrapanels.com to discuss your custom panel fabrication order.
FAQs About Custom Panel Fabrication
What Is Custom Panel Fabrication and How Does It Work?
Custom panel fabrication involves engineering insulated panels to a specific size, core material, and facing type based on a client's project brief. Astra Panels uses continuous laminating machinery to produce panels to exact specifications, then quality checks each panel before delivery or installation.
What Australian Standards Apply to Fabricated Insulated Panels?
Fabricated insulated panels used in cold storage and commercial construction are subject to standards covering thermal performance, fire resistance, and structural integrity. Astra Panels manufactures under Australian standards and holds AHDB and DPI system approvals, providing compliance documentation where required.
Are Custom Fabricated Panels Suitable for Freezer and Cryogenic Applications?
Yes. Core thickness, density, and facing selection can all be adjusted to achieve the R-values and surface properties needed for freezer rooms and cryogenic structures.
Can Custom Panels Be Fabricated for Food Industry and HACCP-Compliant Environments?
Astra Panels has supplied fabricated panels to food storage, meat processing, fisheries, and dairy facilities across Queensland. Facing materials and panel configurations can be selected for hygienic, food-safe environments. Confirm specific compliance requirements with the Astra Panels technical team when placing your enquiry.
What Is the Lead Time for Custom Fabricated Panel Orders?
Lead times vary depending on order volume, panel specifications, and current production scheduling. Contact the Astra Panels team directly for an accurate estimate, as custom orders are assessed individually.
What Is the Lead Time for Custom Insulated Panel Fabrication?
Lead times can vary depending on panel specifications, quantity, and current production schedules. Contacting Astra Panels directly is the most reliable way to get an accurate timeframe for your project. Reach out via the contact page or call 07 3277 2366 to request a quote.
What Core Materials Are Available for Custom Fabrication?
Astra Panels currently offers EPS-FR (Expanded Polystyrene with Flame Retardant) and PIR (Polyisocyanurate) cores for custom insulated panel fabrication. EPS-FR is a cost-effective option with strong thermal performance, while PIR may suit applications where a thinner, higher-performing panel is required. Learn more on the insulation basics page.
Can Panels Be Cut to Custom Dimensions?
Yes. Astra Panels manufactures panels to project-specific lengths using continuous laminating equipment, making custom dimensions a standard part of the fabrication process rather than a special request.
Which Industries Does Astra Panels Serve With Custom Fabrication?
Astra's custom insulated panel fabrication has been used across agricultural, horticultural, fisheries, meat and dairy, food processing, hospitality, healthcare, and general construction industries. The kit form cold rooms page outlines prefabricated options for smaller-scale cold storage projects.
How to Order Custom Fabricated Panels
Contact the Astra Panels team with your project specifications, including required dimensions, thermal performance targets, intended application, and installation timeline. The team can advise on material selection, fabrication lead times, and delivery to your Brisbane or Queensland site. For large or complex orders, visiting the Salisbury warehouse allows you to review products firsthand and discuss your brief with technical staff.
