There are a few things that you need to know about insulated metal panels if you are considering using them on your next construction.

1. The Core Element is Made of Foam

   Builders and designers of commercial and industrial buildings have depended on insulated metal panels due to their excellent thermal efficiency, hassle-free installation, and unmatched durability since the 1960s. In their simplest form, insulated metal panels consist of rigid foams placed in between sheets of coated metal. Depending on use, insulated panels are highly malleable in that they can be shaped in a myriad of shapes and sizes. The aluminum and steel panel facings establish a strong vapor barrier that delivers thermal stability for the long haul. Skins used in insulated metal panels are highly resistant to external stressors and come in a variety of colors.

2. Insulated metal Panels Manufacturing Processes

   There are two ways by which insulated metal panels are produced. The first method entails the use of foamed-in place process. Foam in liquid or froth medium is injected between two sheets of metal. The foam undergoes a complex process causing it to rise and adhere to the metal skins. Once dried, the foam and sheet become a single unit that features excellent thermal value, moisture resistance, as well as prevent the infiltration of insects and rodents.
   The second manufacturing process involves lamination. In this method, pre-cured foam is bonded to preformed metal facers using adhesive subjected to high pressure under a platen press operation.
   Both these methods are effective and guarantee consistent foam thickness resulting in uniform insulation efficiency.

3. All-in-One Weather Resistant Panels

   Insulated Metal Panels offer a fully integrated and high-performance enclosure with single-source responsibility. It ensures a well-sealed building enclosure that can protect your property and indoor spaces more efficiently than tilt-up building enclosure systems.

4. Enhanced Aesthetics

   Apart from being a high-performance construction material, architects use these metal panels due to their simple yet flexible aesthetics. Insulated metal panels can be customized based on your needs and preferences. They come in a variety of colors from traditional hues, including white and silver, to more vibrant shades such as red, blue, yellow, green, and many more. These panels come in horizontal and vertical applications and can feature dynamic finishes such as smooth, embossed, and texture coated.

5. Water Resistant Features

   When it comes to performance, the trimless ends and pre-formed corners of these type of metal panels totally eliminate the need for additional metal flashings. The water-resistant characteristic of insulated metal panels allows it to protect itself from water that stream down from a building. With its great insulation feature, these panels can satisfy the insulation needs within a commercial or industrial property without any reinforcements or additional insulation systems in place.

6. Cold Storage Applications

   Insulated wall panels are the preferred materials used in building cold storage facilities. Whether you need it for manufacturing, storage, perishable distribution, or processing, majority of builders use insulated panels to ensure low temperatures are consistently maintained inside facilities.
   Insulated panels come in 3” to 6” thickness options and can be customized based on your thermal performance needs. You can add features that optimizes its insulating property, including ribbed shaped panels and high-performance coatings application.

7. Highly Sanitary

   The aesthetics and manufacturing process of insulated metal panels deliver a more sanitary finish to any facility. They are easy to clean and washed down with commercial grade cleaners. If you need a sanitary surface on your property, Metal panels are well worth the consideration.

8. Low Maintenance

   Insulated metal panels only need a few repairs whenever they encounter damage caused by large equipment within its walls. You don’t have to worry about costly repair or replacement as repairs will only require minimal cosmetic touch-ups and cleaning to restore its original aesthetics and function.

Insulated metal panels are known for their superior thermal properties that can be used for walls and roofs. The finished products are not only attractive but also functional. Having insulated metal panels on the exterior of the roof or walls is a great choice for office buildings, arenas, airports, and even stadiums as they are cost-effective and energy-efficient.

They have a lower embodied carbon as compared to other building materials. Aside from their thermal superiority, insulated metal panels are easy to install and have a design flexibility that adds to their attractive finish and quality.
