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 Metl-Vision windows are specially designed to provide a fully integrated window system within the CF horizontal wall. Availability includes great flexibility of window size, multiple lite configurations and window finish options.
Metl-Span's line of single-skin panels includes 11 configurations for wall applications. The line consists of the Prestige Series® and the Profile Series. The Prestige Series offers for 12” wide concealed fastener panels with different reveal options and one 16” wide Fluted panel. This series is designed to be installed either vertically or horizontally. The Profile Series includes six models with exposed fasteners.
The Metl-Span Resource section contains all standard CAD details, product literature and information regarding FM Global Requirements. Visitors may also view project photos, learn about online continuing education courses and find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Oakland Community College is the largest of Michigan’s 28 community colleges. A major addition at the Southfield Campus provided much-needed classroom and administrative space.
The 70,000 sq. ft. building was clad with approximately 28,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span CF30 Architectural Flat panels in a design that showcases an interesting and attractive combination of colors and geometries. The 2” panels were finished in Regal White and Cool Metallic Silver and installed horizontally.
Design for the project was provided by TMP Architecture, Bloomfield Hills, MI. “The addition was to an existing building clad with metal and glass,” according to Tom Kowalski, project manager. “Naturally, we wanted to maintain a similar palette of materials. The Metl-Span panels really offer a contemporary, high-tech look. We also felt the Metl-Span panels provided an economical solution because of the insulation on the exterior skin. The college is very pleased with the outcome.”
Installation of the Metl-Span panels was done by Ross & Barr, Inc., Warren, MI. The panels ranged in length from 8’ to 20’ and required some challenging custom fabrication according to Tom Viers, project manager. “The 45 degree angle custom corner panels were probably the sharpest we’ve ever done with an insulated panel,” Viers said. “The horizontal installation and complicated geometries of the design required extremely detailed field measurements to assure the panels would align properly with the vertical elements.”
The general contractor on the project was George W. Auch Company, Pontiac, MI.
