Honor Canlon | Mirror Panel System won the second prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award from the China Steel Structure Association!

On October 22, 2026, the Second Session of the Ninth Member Representative Conference of the China Steel Structure Association and the 2026 Annual Meeting of the China Steel Structure Association were held in Taiyuan. The mirror panel system and its engineering application technology, led by Canlon, won the second prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award from the China Steel Structure Association.

The China Steel Structure Association Science and Technology Award, established with the approval of the National Science and Technology Awards Office, is a provincial-level award registered with the Ministry of Science and Technology. It is established by the China Steel Structure Association, the most authoritative 5A-level national social organization in China's steel structure industry, and is also the association's highest honor award.

The evaluation process involves multiple rounds of screening, and candidates are qualified to be recommended for national science and technology awards. Within the steel structure industry, it is considered an important benchmark for measuring a company's technological innovation capabilities and industry influence.

Technological Progress Award

Project Name : Waterproof and Thermal Insulation Integrated Prefabricated Metal Composite Roofing System and Engineering Application Technology

Award Winner : Jiangsu Canlon Building Materials Co., Ltd.

The Science and Technology Progress Award places greater emphasis on systemic technological breakthroughs and engineering application value. The Canlon Mirror Panel (also known as a polymer membrane-metal composite sandwich panel) system is a multi-functional building material that deeply composites polymer waterproof membranes with metal panels and combines them with an insulation core material through an integrated encapsulation process. This product integrates anti-corrosion, waterproofing, heat insulation, sound insulation, and energy-saving functions, effectively extending the service life of steel roofs. It is suitable for various scenarios such as new roof construction, renovation of old houses, and photovoltaic installations.

Through integrated encapsulation technology, the mirror panel system boasts numerous differentiated advantages: its construction is convenient and simple, requiring only one welding for seamless coverage; compared to exposed metal roofs, mirror panels have a flexible polymer outer layer, effectively extending their service life; compared to single-layer roof systems, they are more rigid, increasing load-bearing capacity; compared to concrete roofs, they are lighter in load-bearing capacity, requiring no large number of internal supports, allowing for spatial freedom; the internal insulation core material also provides excellent thermal insulation, heat insulation, and soundproofing performance, meeting the needs of high-end buildings such as data centers, computing centers, and cold chain logistics.

This award signifies that the judging panel recognized its comprehensive technological advancements in steel structure roofing systems, rather than simply affirming the partial innovations of a single product.

It is worth mentioning that the Canlon Fusion® composite tile system previously won the 2024 China Steel Structure Association Technology Innovation Award.

Standing at the starting point of the 15th Five-Year Plan in 2026, roofing is transforming from a "feature" of buildings into an increasingly important component of industrial infrastructure. Canlon Mirror Panels winning the second prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award is not only a confirmation of the company's past innovative technological path but also sets a higher standard for itself: innovation in roofing engineering must be measured by the performance throughout the entire life cycle of the building. This honor belongs to the product, but even more so to a mission that treats roofing as a long-term commitment!
