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 Air-Tight Solution for Huge Retrofit Project
Weston, Inc., one of Cleveland’s largest real estate operators, had a textile manufacturing tenant that was suffering from major climate control problems. The solution was to re-skin the entire building with more than 125,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span’s CFR-42 polyurethane foam insulated roof panels and 45,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span’s CF fluted wall panels.
The plant was originally constructed as a pre-engineered building. But the structure was simply too loose to meet the stringent humidity control requirements that were necessary for the tenant’s manufacturing processes.
“The building needed to be vapor tight,” according to Rusty Myers, project manager for subcontractor MetalMark, Inc., Stow, OH. “The original batten lock panels just didn’t work.”
Rather than remove the original panels, MetalMark built a sub- frame system to which the Metl-Span roof and wall panels were attached. To assure proper humidity control, caulking was applied to seal the roof to the walls and the walls to the block.
Installation was complicated by the fact that the plant continued in full operation during the retrofit. In addition, removal of interior insulation required that the pane installation be completed in sections as the abatement work progressed.
“It was definitely a challenging installation,” said Myers. “But Metl-Span is a wonderful panel to work with. It’s really a great product!”
According to MetalMark president Dick Welton, “We’ve worked with Metl-Span for years and were confident Metl-Span could meet the design requirements. The owner,Weston, Inc., and the tenant are ecstatic with the look of the building plus its ability to function relative to their needs.”
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.
