U-Build Steel Buildings: Insulated Metal
Panels

Insulated Metal Panels

U-Build Steel Buildings offers the exceptional Artspan Insulated Metal Panel as an option for all U-Build Rigid Frame Steel Buildings, or ordered separately. These panels are available in a variety of colors and profiles. They can be installed as exterior walls, interior walls, and high-performance roofs; including cold storage applications.

These panels are naturally well suited for institutional, commercial, and industrial projects of all sizes and complexity, as they’re helpful for achieving energy code. You’ll also find these panels suitable for any building that requires temperature regulation such as in the agricultural sector for vegetable/potato storage buildings, and for heated shops.

The Benefits of our IMP's

1 Superior thermal values

The superior thermal values of our IMP's make increasing thermal performance across climate zones easy to achieve for both walls and roofs.

2 Quick and easy installation

Installation of insulated metal panels is quick and easy, allowing the building to be completely enclosed in a fraction of the time compared to conventional wall assemblies. This is ideal for building in any season, and you'll save money in labour costs.

3 Save footprint and meet building codes

You'll be able to achieve your buildings required energy codes, while saving space on the overall footprint of the building.

TABLE NOTES:

1) Allowable loads were derived from tests conducted in accordance with ASTM E1592 and ASTM E72.

2) Allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.0 for bending and shear.

3) Connection strengths reflect a standard fastener pattern - with two (2) 1/4" - 14 self drilling screw into minimum 14ga substrate. Other substrates must be designed separately. 2" wall panel utilize a flat clip. All other thicknesses utilize an angle clip.

4) Fastener capacity is based on manufacturer pullout/pullover data and are calculated with a safety factor of 3.0.

5) Allowable loads assume a minimum bearing of 2".

6) Thermal Effects were not considered in analysis.

7) The structural capacity of the supporting members were not considered.

8) Bending/Shear and Deflection for 5" and 6" panels based on 4" capacity.
