Insulated Panel Installation

01 — Panel systems

Engineered IMP Systems for Every Cold Application

We install insulated metal panel envelopes for every cold storage application — from ambient-rated coolers through ultra-low pharma freezers. Panel selection drives thermal performance, code compliance, and operational cost over the life of the facility.

PIR (polyisocyanurate) cores — R-7 to R-8 per inch, fire-rated
PUR (polyurethane) cores — R-7 per inch, cost-effective
Mineral wool cores — non-combustible, FM Global rated
Panel thicknesses 2" to 8" depending on temperature target
USDA / FDA-compliant coatings (washdown, antimicrobial)

02 — Installation

Tight Joint, Vapor-Sealed, Thermal-Break Detailing

Cold storage envelope failures happen at the joints. We install IMPs with engineered tongue-and-groove or cam-lock seams, continuous vapor barriers, and thermal break detailing at panel edges, openings, and structural penetrations.

Every panel joint is sealed and inspected. Every penetration is detailed for vapor continuity. Every fastener is specified to avoid thermal bridging.

Tongue-and-groove and cam-lock seam systems
Continuous vapor barriers — wall-to-wall, wall-to-roof
Thermal break detailing at panel edges and openings
Concealed-fastener and exposed-fastener systems
Door, window, and penetration flashing engineered for cold envelopes

03 — Performance

Built to Hold Temperature for 20+ Years

A properly installed IMP envelope holds R-value, resists moisture migration, and survives decades of refrigeration cycling. We install for performance day one — and for what still works at year 20.

Continuous insulation with no thermal bridging through fasteners
Moisture management to prevent panel-core saturation
Engineered movement joints for thermal expansion
Long-term coating systems resistant to washdown and chemicals

FAQ

FAQ — Insulated Panel Installation

What panel cores do you install?

PIR (polyisocyanurate), PUR (polyurethane), and mineral wool. We specify based on temperature target, fire rating requirements, code, and operating cost analysis.

What thicknesses for which temperatures?

Typical: 2"–4" for cooler / produce ranges, 4"–6" for frozen storage, 6"–8" for blast freeze and ultra-low. Final thickness sized through refrigeration load calculation.

Do you handle USDA / FDA-compliant finishes?

Yes. Washdown-rated, antimicrobial, sanitary panel finishes for food and pharma cold envelopes — USDA, FDA, SQF, and BRC-aligned coatings standard scope.

Can you retrofit existing facilities with IMP?

Yes. We retrofit ambient warehouses, conventional cold storage, and brownfield buildings with new IMP envelopes — including selective demolition, structural reinforcement, and refrigeration upgrade coordination.

How long does an IMP envelope last?

Properly installed IMP envelopes hold R-value and structural integrity for 25+ years. Coating maintenance every 10–15 years extends service life significantly.
