Metl-Span architectural panels serve as walls and roofs for high-profile applications, in new and retrofit construction. Most panel profiles may be installed either horizontally or vertically with concealed clips and fasteners in the side joint for a beautiful flush appearance.
Metl-Span commercial and industrial panels serve as walls, ceilings and roofs for commercial and industrial buildings, in new and retrofit construction. Metl-Span insulated metal panels can be easily adapted to pre-engineered metal building designs for almost any end-use as walls and roofs, saving material and labor costs. Other end applications include schools, manufacturing facilities, distribution warehouses, equipment maintenance buildings, mechanical penthouses, kiosks, equipment screens, aircraft hangars, prison units and office buildings.
Metl-Span cold storage panels function as walls, ceilings and roofs for cooler, freezer and food processing buildings, in new and retrofit construction. In addition, Metl-Span panels are ideal for dry goods warehouses and other controlled environment buildings where temperature control and insulation values are critical.
ThermalSafe® combines advanced panel design with Metl-Span's sophisticated manufacturing expertise to create a composite panel that achieves one, two and three hour fire resistance ratings under the most demanding conditions. In addition to its fire resistant characteristics, the panel provides good thermal performance and protection from the elements. The unique LockGuard® interlocking side joint further enhances the fire resistant performance of the panel with its tongue and groove engagement of the mineral wool core.
Metl-Span CFR Roof panel is an insulated metal standing seam roof panel and is the foremost innovation in all-in-one composite roof panel design, combining durable interior and exterior faces with Metl-Span's unmatched polyurethane core. The CFR insulated metal standing seam roof panel is a truly unique answer to many deficiencies common with more traditional roofing materials of the past.

Metl-Span Panels Provide Solution For EIFS Insurability Problem
The new Atlantic Dodge dealership in St. Augustine, FL was already under construction when an insurability issue surfaced. The project was originally designed to utilize EIFS, but the insurer balked at the use of EIFS on the pre-engineered building.
The Stellar Group, general contractor for the design-build project, sought an alternative cladding system that would solve the problem. Stellar, headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, is one of the nation’s largest design, engineering and construction companies. Stellar had extensive experience with Metl-Span products in cold storage applications but had not used Metl-Span for commercial/industrial jobs.
According to Micah Barth, Stellar’s project manager, “We needed to find a good solution fast. Both full block construction and stucco were simply too expensive. We talked to Sara Truhlar, our Metl-Span sales rep from Southeast Insulators, and she recommended Metl-Span’s Tuff-Wall™ product. We got samples of the panel and studied all of the information on the system. We were quickly convinced that Tuff-Wall was the way to go.”
Tuff-Wall is an exceptionally attractive stucco-like insulated wall panel that provides the masonry look that many designers and communities desire. The exterior surface of the panel is a hard aggregated fiber-reinforced polymer coating created with the factory-applied Tuff-Cote finish system.
Approximately 8,500 sq. ft. of 2” Tuff-Wall panels finished in Light Stone was utilized on the building.
“The product was wonderful,” says Barth. “The owner is happy because the building looks great and he can get reasonably-priced insurance.”
Metl-Span pioneered many of the developments of insulated metal panels and continues to make significant contributions to design innovations and technology that shape industry standards. For more information on the complete line of Metl-Span products, call 877-585-9969 or visit www.metlspan.com
