PUF Panel Price 2026 — Rate per Sq Ft and Sq Mt by Thickness

(₹/sq ft column derived from the ₹/m² range at 1 m² ≈ 10.764 sq ft, rounded. ₹/m² is the primary supply unit.)

PUF panel price by thickness

Thickness is the single biggest driver of a PUF panel rate — more core means more polyurethane and a heavier panel. Below is how the bands break down.

30 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm panel rates

These are the value tier. A 30 mm PUF panel has a base rate of ₹1,050/m² supply-only, 40 mm ₹1,150/m², and 50 mm ₹1,250/m². The 50 mm panel is our most common all-round choice — it balances insulation and cost for cabins, offices and general insulated walls, which is why most standard enquiries settle here.

60 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm panel rates

The mid tier steps up as core depth increases: 60 mm at a ₹1,330/m² base rate for better thermal comfort, and 80 mm at ₹1,470/m² for cold rooms and premium roofs. 100 mm is quoted per order — its rate depends on facing and profile — so it is confirmed at quotation. This tier suits sheds, better-insulated buildings and lighter cold storage.

120–200 mm and freezer-grade panels (confirm at quotation)

Above 100 mm — 120 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm and freezer-grade panels — the rate is confirmed at quotation rather than banded. These are specialised builds where facing, joint type and density are set by the cold-chain or high-insulation requirement, and a blanket per-sq-ft figure would mislead more than it helps. We manufacture freezer-grade panels up to 150 mm.

What changes the PUF panel rate

Two panels of the same thickness can quote differently. The rate moves with:

• Thickness — the biggest single lever. Every step up in core depth adds material cost roughly in line with the per-10 mm rule below, so a 60 mm panel is never priced like a 30 mm panel even from the same supplier.
• Facing material — PPGI is the value option; PPGL, BGL, aluminium and stainless steel rise from there, roughly in that order, because the raw coil and corrosion resistance differ.
• Facing gauge — 0.35 mm to 0.80 mm; a thicker facing sheet costs more per panel and adds rigidity, independent of the core.
• Core density — our PUF core is 40 ± 2 kg/m³; a tighter density spec for a specific project affects the rate and is confirmed at quotation.
• Colour / finish — standard RAL shades cost less than a special or custom-matched shade, since standard colours run in larger coil batches.
• Profile — a plain wall profile is the base cost; ribbed roof or wall profiles add a small premium for the extra roll-forming step.
• Joint type — standard tongue & groove is the base joint; a cam-lock joint for cold-room airtightness costs marginally more to cut and form.
• Order size — larger, single-spec orders quote keener per m² than small mixed lots, because setup and changeover cost spreads over more panels.
• Location / freight — distance from the nearer factory (Bangalore or Greater Noida) changes landed cost, which is why dispatch origin matters as much as the panel rate itself.
• Core type — a PIR core is typically roughly a third more (about 30–35%) than PUF for improved fire behaviour and higher service temperature; most buyers do not need it (see PUF vs PIR on our hub page).

The per-10 mm step. From the base rates above, each additional 10 mm of core adds roughly ₹70–₹100 per square metre; the exact step for thicker and freezer-grade panels is confirmed at quotation.

Volume and repeat orders. Larger orders and repeat or project buyers earn better rates than one-off small lots — the exact slabs are confirmed at quotation. We do not publish blanket discount percentages, because the real number depends on thickness, facing and total area, and a headline “bulk %” that ignores those would be misleading.

The roof-cost trade-off. If your build is roof-led, expect an insulated PUF roof panel to cost more per sq ft than a plain metal sheet — but it replaces the metal sheet, a separate layer of insulation and a lining step, and it goes up faster as one board. Judged on the finished, insulated roof rather than the bare sheet, it is usually the lower total cost. For how the roof profile and thickness change the selection, see our roof-specific PUF panel selection guidance.

PUF sheet price versus finished panel quotation

Buyers often ask for a “PUF sheet price” expecting a single number, but a PUF sheet and a finished, profiled panel are quoted differently. A bare sheet rate ignores the facing gauge, profile, joint and colour that a real panel carries — so a headline “sheet price” is almost always lower than the panel you actually need.

We quote the finished panel to your specification so the number is real. That way the rate you approve already includes the facing, profile and joint your drawing calls for, with no surprise additions when the panel is made.

What is included and excluded in a SAMAN quote

Most sellers quote a bare rate and let the extras appear later. We state them upfront. A SAMAN PUF panel quotation is supply-only and, unless written otherwise, excludes:

• GST (PUF panels fall under HSN 940690; GST is added on the invoice)
• Transport to site
• Installation / erection
• Accessories (flashings, fasteners, trims, sealants)
• Unloading / offloading at site

Installation itself is quoted separately because it depends on building height, site access, scaffolding or crane needs and the accessories used — so we never publish an installed ₹/sq ft figure that would fall apart on a real site. Stating exclusions cleanly is deliberate: it is the single most common cause of a disputed panel bill.

How to request an accurate manufacturer quotation

The faster you give us the build, the tighter the quote. Send:

1. Use — cabin, shed, cold room, partition, roof, etc.
2. Thickness — or the temperature/insulation target if you are unsure.
3. Area — total m² (or panel run and count).
4. Site city — for the correct dispatch factory and transport.
5. Facing and colour — if already decided.

With that, we return a firm rate against the complete factory-made PUF panel range rather than just the base rate. No calculator, no obligation — a real manufacturer quotation.
