As the commercial construction industry settles into a new year of projects and planning cycles, it is less focused on bold predictions and more concerned with practical execution.

Whether it's a cultural center honoring local history, a recreation center bringing communities together, or an arts venue revitalizing a neighborhood, IMPs deliver the aesthetics, performance and cost-efficiency needed to help these spaces serve the population for generations.

IMPs are weather-tight panels that provide a strong thermal and moisture barrier. These single component, factory pre-engineered systems made with steel skins and an insulating foam core are a widely used high-performance, low-energy building envelope solution.

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.

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.
