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 has developed the Metl-Vision® window system to further complement the exceptional architectural aesthetics and function of Metl-Span's CF horizontal wall panels.

The Edie’s Crossing office condominium development in Saratoga Springs, NY offers the small business or professional person the opportunity to buy or lease high quality, Class A space in a park-like space. Six additional 20,000 sq. ft. buildings are planned for the office park.
Approximately 14,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span insulated metal panels in two profiles were used on the first building. The panels were installed in both horizontal and vertical applications. More than 7,200 sq. ft. of 3″ CF42 Santa Fe® wall panels finished in Regal Gray were installed vertically. Approximately 3,600 sq. ft. of 3″ CF24 and CF30 Striated wall panels finished in Cool Zinc Gray were installed horizontally.
The general contractor for the design/build project was Munter Enterprises, Inc., Middle Grove, NY. The project used a pre-engineered building frame for the structure. “Being metal building guys, we like the productivity and efficiency of the insulated panel,” according to Mike Munter, vice president. “You generally visit the wall once and you’re done. In this case, of course, we had some interior framing and drywall work to be done.”
Munter reports the greatest challenge was coordinating the layout of the windows and doors to line up with the panels in the horizontal application. “But everything went smoothly,” Munter said. “The metal building company we work with can furnish insulated panels but we prefer to buy them directly from Metl-Span.”
Design for the project was provided by Paone Architecture, P.C., Saratoga Springs, NY. “The job started as a classic cottage design to fit the personality of the area but about halfway through it was determined the building needed to have a more high tech, sharper look to attract a broader range of tenants,” according to John Paone, project architect. “The flexibility of the Metl-Span panels allowed us to change the look of the building completely and with virtually no cost increase. With the pre-engineered building and the modular panels, we were able to redesign the look just by changing the colors and switching to a horizontal application. That was huge.”
