Metl-Span architectural panels serve as walls and roofs for high-profile applications, in new and retrofit construction. Most panel profiles may be installed either horizontally or vertically with concealed clips and fasteners in the side joint for a beautiful flush appearance.
Metl-Span commercial and industrial panels serve as walls, ceilings and roofs for commercial and industrial buildings, in new and retrofit construction. Metl-Span insulated metal panels can be easily adapted to pre-engineered metal building designs for almost any end-use as walls and roofs, saving material and labor costs. Other end applications include schools, manufacturing facilities, distribution warehouses, equipment maintenance buildings, mechanical penthouses, kiosks, equipment screens, aircraft hangars, prison units and office buildings.
Metl-Span cold storage panels function as walls, ceilings and roofs for cooler, freezer and food processing buildings, in new and retrofit construction. In addition, Metl-Span panels are ideal for dry goods warehouses and other controlled environment buildings where temperature control and insulation values are critical.
ThermalSafe® combines advanced panel design with Metl-Span's sophisticated manufacturing expertise to create a composite panel that achieves one, two and three hour fire resistance ratings under the most demanding conditions. In addition to its fire resistant characteristics, the panel provides good thermal performance and protection from the elements. The unique LockGuard® interlocking side joint further enhances the fire resistant performance of the panel with its tongue and groove engagement of the mineral wool core.
Metl-Span CFR Roof panel is an insulated metal standing seam roof panel and is the foremost innovation in all-in-one composite roof panel design, combining durable interior and exterior faces with Metl-Span's unmatched polyurethane core. The CFR insulated metal standing seam roof panel is a truly unique answer to many deficiencies common with more traditional roofing materials of the past.
Metl-Span has developed the Metl-Vision® window system to further complement the exceptional architectural aesthetics and function of Metl-Span's CF horizontal wall panels.

Metl-Span Wall Panels Selected for Hangar for Air Force’s Massive C-5 Galaxy
A huge project at the Air National Guard Base in Martinsburg, West Virginia, is underway to prepare the 167th Airlift Wing for the arrival of 11 C-5 Galaxy aircraft which will be housed at the base. The C-5 is one of the largest aircraft in the world and the largest airlifter in the Air Force inventory.
More than $190 million in federal funding has been invested at the facility including new hangars, fuel lines and a flight simulator.
The new C-5 Maintenance Hangar utilizes approximately 70,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span 2” CF-42 Mesa wall panels. Panel lengths range from 20’ to 45’ and are finished in Sandstone color.
Installation of the Metl-Span panels was done by Iron City Constructors, Inc., Aliquippa, PA. Iron City Constructors is experienced in working with Metl-Span. “They always provide good technical and engineering support,” according to project coordinator Ed Carrozza. “This project was no exception although it was pretty straight-forward. We did have some challenges in fabricating a hidden eave gutter that required the use of short panels on the outside and inside of the box enclosure. And the gambrel roof design required the wall panels to be bevel cut.”
The CF Mesa panels are well suited for exterior wall and interior partition wall applications. The lightly corrugated profile on both faces of the panel ensures symmetry from outside the building to inside.
The general contractor on the project was Clark Construction, Bethesda, MD. The design team consisted of CH2M HILL, Herndon, VA and DMJM Design, San Francisco, CA.
Metl-Span pioneered many of the developments of insulated metal panels and continues to make significant contributions to design innovations and technology that shape industry standards. For more information on the complete line of Metl-Span products, call 877-585-9969 or visit www.metlspan.com.
