−	Sandwich panels ~~(sometimes~~ referred to as composite panels or structural insulating panels (SIP)) consist of two layers of a rigid material bonded to either side of a lightweight core. The three components act together as a composite; that is, the combination of the characteristics of the components results in better performance than would be possible if they were acting alone.	+	Sandwich panels, also referred to as metal composite material (MCM), metal composite panels (MCP), aluminium composite materials (ACM), insulated metal panels, structural insulating panels (SIP) and a few other terms, essentially consist of two layers of a rigid material bonded (often metallic but also engineered timber) to either side of a lightweight core (often a blown insulant but also mineral wool and other materials). The three components act together as a composite; that is, the combination of the characteristics of the components results in better performance than would be possible if they were acting alone.

−	The lightweight core keeps the two faces in the correct position, resists shear forces, and provides insulation, while the two faces provide durability, weather and impact resistance, and resist in-plane forces of tension and compression.	+	The lightweight core keeps the two faces in the correct position, resists shear forces, and provides insulation, while the two faces provide durability, weather and impact resistance, and resist in-plane forces of tension and compression. In general the term sandwich panel is associated with thicker products used in the installation of single layer wall systems (sometimes referred to as insulated metal panels), but the term can also refer to thinner products manufactured for use in rainscreen systems (such as metal composite material panel systems).
