This session will review the defining characteristics of architectural insulated metal panels (IMPs), including the myriad design options available.
Join us to explore finishes and coatings, trimless ends, folded corners, variable reveals, segmented curves, running bond patterns, sunscreens, and integrated windows. Plus, examine structural support considerations such as stud walls and tube steel along with the importance of maintaining proper wall alignment. You'll also receive step-by-step guidance on the installation process.
Other topics to be covered include air, water, vapor, and thermal control layers; code compliance; product and installation warranties; and IMP sustainability and transparency.
Learning Objectives
- Explore the characteristics that best describe architectural IMPs and their design options.
- Visualize the installation process of IMPs and areas for control layer failures.
- Discuss the factors affecting panel spans as well as the relationship of these factors to structural supports.
- Gain knowledge of IMP code compliance and how IMPs provide all necessary air, water, vapor and thermal control layers through a single component.
