Insulated Metal Panels (IMP)
Improve thermal performance and streamline construction with high-performance Insulated Metal Panels (IMP). Ensconce Systems supplies and installs IMP systems for commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural applications, providing an efficient approach to exterior wall construction.
IMP systems combine exterior and interior metal skins with a rigid insulated core, integrating several key components of a wall assembly into a single factory-manufactured panel. This can help simplify installation while providing a durable, consistent and thermally efficient exterior wall system.
The IMP Advantage
Thermal Performance: Continuous insulation within the panel can significantly reduce thermal bridging and contribute to improved building energy performance when properly designed and installed.
Efficient Installation: IMP’s integrate insulation, interior and exterior metal skins into one panel, reducing the number of individual components required during wall installation.
Long-Span Capability: Depending on the panel profile, thickness, and engineering requirements, IMP’s can span between structural supports and reduce the need for additional secondary framing.
Integrated Panel Joints: Interlocking tongue-and-groove joints and manufacturer-specified sealants help provide continuity through the panel system and support air and moisture management.
Architectural & Industrial Applications: Available in a variety of profiles, colours, finishes, and panel configurations, ranging from clean architectural surfaces to traditional industrial profiles.
Durability & Low Maintenance: Factory-finished metal skins provide a durable exterior surface designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments.
Precision Commercial Installation
Proper installation is critical to the performance of an insulated metal panel system. Ensconce Systems carefully coordinates panel layout, base conditions, perimeter flashings, openings, transitions, fasteners, sealants and interlocking joints in accordance with the selected manufacturer’s requirements and project specifications.
Our teams understand that an IMP system is more than the visible panel. Proper integration with the surrounding roof, wall, structural and building envelope components is essential to achieving the intended thermal and weather performance of the assembly.
By coordinating both material supply and installation, Ensconce Systems delivers a seamless approach to IMP construction. We provide single-source accountability for projects that demand thermal performance, durability, efficiency and architectural design.
