On-Demand Webinar: Insulted Metal Panels 101
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) offer superior insulating properties, along with their outstanding spanning capabilities and one-pass installation, making them quick to install and cost-effective compared to other wall assemblies. This session will be an excellent opportunity for contractors, engineers, and other members of the metal construction world to learn more about these products gaining a growing market share.
Sustainable. Strong. Fast. That’s IMP Roofing.
With traits like these, the applications are limitless for IMP Roofs:
• Exceptional insulating properties
• Superior spanning capability
• Accelerated installation times
• Cost-effective pricing
• Recycled content
• Rigid feel
• Streamlined architectural appearance

Insulated Metal Panels 101: An Introduction to IMPs
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) are lightweight, composite panels for walls and roofs, combining metal skins with an insulating foam core. They provide excellent insulation and quick installation at lower costs.
Join this session to learn about IMPs and their rising market share.

Installing is a Breeze
Just One Pass Needed
Unlike traditional building methods, which often involve multiple trades and layers of materials, Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) combine all the necessary components (insulation, weather barrier, and exterior cladding) into a single panel, streamlining the installation process.
Did You Know? IMPs Save on Cooling and Energy
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) deliver exceptionally high thermal performance with complete insulation. In fact, at R7 to R8 per inch, IMPs are one of the greatest pound-for-pound materials in the marketplace when it comes to thermal value per inch. As a point of comparison, the R Value per inch of other types of common insulation materials is R5 for extruded polystyrene, R4 for expanded polystyrene, and R3 for mineral fiber and cellular glass.

Build Smarter with IMPs: The All-In-One Air & Water Barrier
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) are designed to provide a weather-resistant, vapor retarding thermal barrier for use in commercial construction. The white paper, “Insulated Metal Panel IBC Specifications for Roofs and Walls,” is designed to aid designers in the construction of project specifications, notes, and other contract documents.
