Insulated metal panels are a versatile, high performing wall system perfect for the construction of a wide range of commercial buildings from stadiums to universities to airports to data centers to warehouses and many more. In addition to their high thermal performance, design flexibility and durability, insulated metal panels are the wall system of choice for their time-saving ease of installation.

A single component building envelope solution, insulated metal panels are lightweight and easily maneuverable - features that reduce the amount of labor needed to install the panels safely, quickly and efficiently. These features also make insulated metal panels quicker and easier to install than conventional multi-component façade systems.

A single component system also means faster close-in and dry-in for reduced building costs

·       The single component system results in less labor time on-site and construction waste.

·       Reduces delays in construction experienced with scheduling multiple trades.

·       Increase in build speed allows faster project completion and reduces business disruption

Insulated metal panels made it possible to construct a manufacturing and assembly facility for DynaEnergetics in just six months. It was a race against time to get the Texas facility dried-in so machinery could be set in place. Architects selected BENCHMARK Designwall 1000 and Designwall 2000 panels from Kingspan to expedite construction. Allowing the façade, insulation and interior walls to be installed at the same time, and requiring only one installer, panels streamlined construction, saving valuable time and enabling the project to be completed on schedule.

The speed of build advantage of insulated metal panels also made it possible to construct a stadium for Major League Soccer team Inter Miami CF in time for the start of the 2020 season. Looking for a wall system that would match the team’s custom color motif and work within their tight timeframe, architects chose Kingspan’s BENCHMARK Designwall 4000 insulated metal panels for the stadium. These thermally efficient pre-engineered, single component panels require less labor and fewer trades on site, which minimized scheduling issues and reduced construction time so that AutoNation DRV PNK Stadium was finished and available to welcome fans in under ten months. 

When the clock is ticking, there is no doubt that high performing, thermally efficient insulated metal panels are the key to success for any building project that requires speed of build.
