Sandwich Panel Roof

IMP’s are two single-skin metal panels with a special foam insulation adhered between them. This allows them to achieve a greater thermal efficiency or R-value. (R value describes the rate by which heat energy is transferred through materials. A higher R value is considered better).

The panels are molded in a variety of styles and sizes, depending on their application. Steel or aluminum panel facings create vapor, air and moisture barriers and provide long-term stability. The metal skins offer long-term durability and come in a variety of colors.

BENEFITS OF IMPS

Structurally strong thus requiring fewer secondary structural elements.
Shorter erection times, thus reducing labor costs and providing earlier starts.
Better insulation values without structural compromising.
Most cost-effective, efficient way of reaching method of achieving mandatory thermal efficiency ASHRAE Code requirements.
Meet or exceed standards for Green certification such as LEED or GBI.

IMP’s offer other advantages, too. One of these is that they can be erected very quickly. On an architectural project and with the correct equipment, more than 1,000 sq. ft. can be erected in an eight-hour shift by a four-man crew. On an industrial application, the same metrics apply to 5,000 sq. ft.

Another advantage is that it is a pre-painted metal panel, with factory applied corrosion resistant, high performance polymeric coatings that extend its life cycles. Interior coatings are easy to clean and have high light reflectivity.

Performance criteria

IMP’s are manufactured to meet the performance and testing requirements of the building codes and insurance agency listings. They are tested for fire resistance, structural thermal transmittance/resistance, foam core properties, water leakage and air pressure differential. These insulated panels have a foam core with R-values ranging from 7 to 48, as thickness goes from 1”-6” for wall systems and R–values ranging from 10 to 48 for roof systems, as thickness goes from 1.5”-6”. The use of lighter coating colors allows for a lower surface temperature, thus permitting an additional increase in R–value.

Applications

Roofs

Our EPS panels adapt to any specifications, lowering indoor temperatures so that you can use less air conditioning lowering your overall living costs. They also play a part in cancelling outside noise so that you can add an extra level of tranquility to your home, office, or business.

Office Buildings

Whatever your business, every work environment benefits from less noise pollution and more uniform, mild indoor temperatures. Our paneling helps you with this, while saving you money and ensuring that you are compliant with many environmental regulations.

Industrial Buildings

Industrial metal paneling is much quicker to set up than other paneling and provides more complete isolation from external factors like noise and weather. Our products are always flexible, easy to install, and eco-friendly. Roofing, wall systems, trims, you name it. We can help you with all of your industrial building needs.

Self Storage

Because our paneling protects against humidity, insects, fungus, and cracks, among other things, and because it helps to ensure a mild, even indoor temperature, it is one of the best things you can do for any self storage system. Old paintings, vintage furniture, delicate fabrics, all have a better chance of survival when using our products. Bikes, and surfboards and tools do too!

Terraces

Using our products to insulate your terrace is not only more efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly than other options, it is also one of the easiest ways to construct around gutters, drains, and other complicated areas because of the flexibility of the materials we use.
