How to Perfectly Seal a Building Using IMPs 2020

Insulated metal panels provide a sustainable energy-efficient way to lower overall energy costs and ensure long-lasting endurance and strength for any project. Metal construction materials provide additional insulation. Additionally, metal panels can be recycled, saving additional costs. How can you maximize energy efficiency? Proper sealing is key.

IMP Basics

The insulated metal panels (IMPs) have a foamed in place core with two single-skin metal panels. The angles and specifications may change depending on the overall metal construction materials. Some panels can be sleek and modern. Others emulate popular stucco or shingle styles. The versatility and options for IMPs can bring architectural beauty to your project.

Use insulated metal panels for a wide variety of construction projects:

  • Residential buildings
  • Institutions
  • Architectural buildings
  • Storage Facilities
  • Medical Facilities

The IMPs provide an incredible amount of structural beauty, strength, and energy efficiency to industrial, agricultural, and commercial buildings, as well.

Sealing the IMPs

Your contractors will seal the side laps and perimeter boundaries of the IMP. Because of the simplicity of design, the insulated metal panels can be easily sealed. Expect reduced Air and vapor sealing need special attention, especially in harshly cold climates. Frozen moisture trapped in the panels can misalign the panels and cause structural damage. Avoid performance failure by ensuring a quality seal by a qualified and experienced contractor.

The envelope (wall and roof) of a building both protect the interior and the exterior from weather, wear and tear, and fire. They provide a beautiful aesthetic. Protection from the ravages of vapor, heat, air, and water are key. Proper insulation improves overall performance and durability. Always be sure that your contractor takes the time to ensure caulking and sealing details were correctly handled. Contact our trained experienced professionals today.
