Learning Objectives

After reading this article, you should be able to:

  • Understand the characteristics that best describe commercial/industrial insulated metal panels (IMPs) and their design options
  • Visualize the installation process of IMPs, including flashings and sealants while also recognizing the factors affecting panel spans and the relationship of these factors to structural supports.
  • Understand how IMPs provide all necessary air, water, vapor and thermal control layers through a single component
  • Comprehend why IMPs are ideally suited for pre-engineered buildings (PEBs)
  • Knowledge of IMP code compliance and be able to differentiate between the various paint, corrosion, panel and weathertight warranties available with IMPs
