“From insulation that provides the highest R-value per inch to custom-finished metal to profile-specific clips and screws, Drexel Metals is offering project teams a comprehensive building system,” Todd Bergman, Product Manager at Carlisle Architectural Metals said. “We are able to offer a complete system approach to roof and wall assemblies because we are backed by Carlisle, whose years of experience in polyiso manufacturing and moisture and vapor barriers is invaluable. We’ve leveraged that product category experience to give our customers the highest quality insulation solutions for their next project.”
