According to market research, the cool roof coating market is expected to reach $8.3 billion by 2032—almost doubling what the market currently generates. In our latest issue, we discuss this idea and much more.
Insulated metal panels are increasingly the preferred building envelope solution for these plants because of their versatility that includes thermal efficiency, temperature control, design flexibility, safety, ease of installation, durability and more.
Architectural firm KAI Enterprises chose insulated metal panels to build the nearly 500,000 square-foot facility. More than 98,000 square-feet of Kingspan’s KS Mini Micro-Rib and Optimo Smooth panels were used on the project in regal white, dark bronze and bright silver colors.
This article will illuminate a few critical design considerations, including substrate selection; use of proper joining methods, flashings, solder, and sealants; natural weathering and other finishes; and staining and corrosion control and prevention.
For each pixel, Linetec finished an 8-by-8-inch extruded aluminum flapper panel in the corresponding color. To achieve the pixelated mural effect, 35 unique colors were chosen to match West’s original artwork.
Like every project, time and money were considerations when choosing building materials. Ultimately, insulated metal panels helped make their vision a reality.
With questions of coating compatibility, sealing strategies, abatement procedures, and maintainability not seen in framed walls or masonry facades, the task of refurbishing these structures is a rapidly developing field in restoration technology.
Built environments are essential for human health, safety, and comfort. Properly constructed buildings enable us to live and thrive in any natural environment, many of which would be otherwise virtually unlivable.
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.
