Metl-Span

Metl-Span ThermalSafe Striated insulated metal panels (IMPs) have a noncombustible, structural mineral wool core that maximizes compressive strength. The core’s mineral wool fibers are oriented perpendicular to the panel faces for maximum structural strength. The IMPs also feature Lockguard, a double-tongue-and-groove interlocking side joint. They achieve a 1-, 2- or 3-hour fire resistance rating for walls, and 1.5 hours for ceiling applications.
