Building and energy codes are becoming increasingly more stringent. Insulated metal panels are an ideal choice if you are in need of a thermally efficient building envelope.
Insulated metal panels (IMPs) consist of two single-skin metal panels and a foamed-in-place core. MBCI offers IMPs for both roof and wall applications. The foam insulation is made of non-chlorofluorocarbon (non-CFC) polyisocyanurate foam. IMPs are sealed to each other at the side laps and to the substructure at all perimeter boundaries, which make them the ideal choice when a Continuous Air Barrier (CAB) is required.
The special foam insulation of IMPs offers superior R-values (up to 7.69 per inch of insulation) that provide enhanced energy performance for buildings utilizing these panels. In addition, Eco-ficient™ IMPs are fastened to the substructure with hidden clips within a double tongue and groove interlock , eliminating thermal bridges. This interlock, coupled with vapor seal mastic in the mastic grooves, provides superior resistance to air and moisture intrusion, allowing for increased thermal performance of the building envelope.
IMPs are typically able to span greater distances than single skin panels and are also fire, wind, hail, water, insect and rodent resistant.
