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 Fresh New Look For Renovation Of Arena And Convention Center
The exterior of the Kellogg Arena and Convention Center in Battle Creek, MI had become unsightly and didn’t offer the inviting “curb appeal” needed to attract meetings and conventions. A 25-year-old panel had become rusty and in bad condition.
The architectural firm URS Corporation, Grand Rapids, MI, was awarded the challenge of designing the renovation and upgrade plans for the arena.
Approximately 15,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span CFA-36 architectural flat insulated panels played a major role in the transformation. The old panel system was completely removed and replaced with Metl-Span panels finished in Polar White.
The Metl-Span system was installed by Architectural Glass & Metals, Inc., Byron Center, MI. AGM was consulted by the architect very early in the process and asked to recommend an efficient, economical solution. According to AGM’s David Sheasley, “There was initially talk about using aluminum but Metl-Span simply offered the best value for the desired design aesthetic. We recommended a standard module and standard color to maximize cost efficiency. The horizontal application looks great and it’s energy efficient and LEED compliant. The owner is thrilled!”
Mike Van Schelven, senior project designer for URS, agrees. “The Metl-Span polyurethane panel system met all of our performance criteria. We were able to turn an average-looking building into something that makes a strong design statement. It’s a ten-fold improvement. Better yet, Metl-Span was the most competitive on bid day.”
The CSM Group, Galesburg, MI served as construction manger for the project.
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.
