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. The Metl-Vision windows are specially designed to provide a fully integrated window system within the CF horizontal wall.

Metl-Span Panels Provide Major Facelift For Electric Utility
The headquarters building of Beauregard Electric Cooperative, Deridder, LA, was originally constructed in the 1950’s and had been added onto several times. It clearly needed a facelift.
A unique retrofit solution was accomplished by putting a pre-engineered building over the existing structure. The project, completed in October, 2000, utilized 28,000 square feet of Metl-Span polyurethane insulated roof panels finished in Surrey Beige color.
According to John Gates, the civil engineer involved with the design/build job, “In addition to improving the look of the building, the board of directors wanted something that would be energy efficient and, of course, wouldn’t leak. We initially considered a single skin sheet metal roof. But the Metl-Span insulated panel won out because of its energy efficiency and the little difference in cost.”
A Dutch gable hip roof design produced the attractive architectural look that the utility wanted. Dormers cleverly disguised plumbing vents.
Leak protection was assured due to the continuous panel running from ridge to eve. All panels were manufactured at the Metl-Span plant in Lewisville, Texas and shipped in pre-cut lengths to the job site.
The Metl-Span CFR-42 roof panel has a 42” net coverage and a mechanically closed standing seam that is 2” high. Profiling between the seams is a Mesa pattern with stucco embossing for added strength and superior appearance. Panels are attached to the structure with clips and fasteners concealed in the sidejoint to ensure maximum water tightness.
The metal composite foam panels attach directly to the supporting structure, eliminating the need to lay down a deck, vapor barrier, insulation and metal panel. Metl-Span all-in-one panels are durable, economical and easy to install.
Metl-Span pioneered the development of insulated metal panels and continues to make significant contributions to design innovations and technology that have become industry standards. For more information on the complete line of Metl-Span products, call 877-585-9969 or visit www.metlspan.com.
