Insulated metal panels (IMPs) are a type of building material used in construction, including residential and commercial projects, to increase thermal performance and lower energy consumption.

Key characteristics of insulated metal panels:


  • Construction: They have a core of rigid insulation technology that provides high thermal performance and R-values, which is a measure of thermal resistance.
  • Design Flexibility: IMPs come in a variety of profiles, patterns, colors, textures, and finishes. They can be installed vertically or horizontally, offering many design possibilities for a project’s aesthetic.
  • Applications: While commonly associated with industrial buildings, IMPs are also used in multifamily and mixed-use projects for their design flexibility and efficiency.
  • Speed of Build: Using insulated metal panels can help increase the speed of construction compared to conventional multi-component wall assemblies.
