=== Why install Insulated Metal Panels? ===

When a Germany-based farm equipment manufacturer HALDRUP GmbH broke into the North American market. They had just one requirement: their new plant should be constructed of insulated metal panels (IMPs). IMPs are a staple in European construction. Where they are beloved for their economic value, easy assembly, and fantastic insulation properties that keep energy loss and costs low. “Metal panels make it possible to get the building operational quickly,” says Rüdiger Hofmann, owner and civil engineer at HALDRUP.

INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL WITH MINIMUM ENERGY USE

Having a properly insulated building means saving energy. It’s no secret in the industry that the second largest contributor to greenhouse gases is the energy used inside buildings. A building with insulated metal panels can reduce energy cost by two-thirds. This is because the sealed building envelope optimizes thermal resistance. By stopping any gaps where heated or cooled air could potentially escape. The benefit is seen immediately. And pays for itself in securing the thermal envelope of the building (roof and walls) better than traditional building materials.

Another way IMPs quickly recoup their initial cost is by requiring minimal maintenance and aftercare. They create a fully sealed building envelope. And prevent the travel of moisture from the exterior to the interior via tiny gaps in the insulation. This moisture travels in other building components. Can be responsible for mold and mildew—a time and money, intensive cost that can be highly disruptive for building owners. Because the building envelope is not only weatherproof but provides an impenetrable membrane in cold storage, it eliminates mold and mildew.
