Insulated Metal Panels (IMP) stand for aesthetics, top thermal efficiency, and overall structural integrity. These are easy to install and IMP wall systems erect very quickly.
IMPs have rigid insulation sandwiched between two facings of coated metal. Moulded in a variety of styles and sizes depending on the application, panels made of steel or aluminium facings create an air, water and vapour barrier. The facings are resistant to abuse and come in a multitude of finishes, effects, and colors. IMP cores can be made of either foam plastic or mineral fibers. They, too, can be either foamed in-place or laminated.
Structures such as cold storage facilities, hangars, manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, office buildings and convention centers have proven to be excellent applications. When compared to stucco, masonry or pre-cast for walls and built-up, modified bitumen or EPDM for roofs, the advantages of the impermeable exterior and interior metal facings of IMP stand out. Unlike other materials, which are field-assembled or applied, IMPs minimize the erector impact on the system performance. This results in better in-place quality, better weather integrity and appearance.
