Insulated metal panels (IMPs), a lightweight, single-component building enclosure system, are becoming a desirable building material choice for architects and contractors. IMPs consist of an outer skin that serves as either metal wall siding or metal roofing, and an inner face that serves as a metal interior finish or liner, with insulation sandwiched between these metal skins.
Simple in design but high in versatility and performance, IMPs are increasingly being used in a broad range of construction projects from tiny homes to massive distribution centers and everything in between. That’s because IMPs, the “Swiss Army Knife” of building materials, have multiple functions when it comes to energy performance, design flexibility, durability, and ease of installation.
