Insulated Metal Panels 101: An Introduction to IMPs

Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) are lightweight composite exterior wall and roof panels with metal skins and an insulating foam core. These panels have superior insulating properties, and their outstanding spanning capabilities and one-pass installation make them quick to install, saving costs compared to other wall assemblies. IMPs are available in a wide variety of colors, widths, profiles and finishes, enabling any aesthetic desired for walls and roofs. 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.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand applications and how insulated metal panels, a single component wall or roof system, provide the finished interior and exterior, vapor and air barriers, as well as thermal performance.
  • Evaluate insulated metal panels against traditional systems focusing on performance properties, appearance, and sustainability.
  • Explore the durability, thermal effectiveness, and energy efficiencies provided by insulated metal panels over traditional methods, and how they minimize environmental impact.
  • Identify the criteria, features, and sustainable benefits of insulated metal panels, and how they might earn LEED credits.
