  
Superior R-Values, Lightweight, And Environmentally Friendly
Through the efficient combination of polyiso insulation
with pre-painted galvanized steel sheets, a light-weight composite building
panel is produced. The panel delivers excellent structural strength and
even allows the use of longer spans without requiring additional support.
In fact, the strength of Metecno-Aluma Shield metal insulated composite
panels is greater than that produced by the combined individual pieces
of field assembled metal systems.
The foamed-in-place, HCFC-free polyiso core of Metecno-Aluma
Shield panels is injected as a liquid, rises and fuses to the metal skins.
This completely fills the interior cavity creating the solid, monolithic
panel. There are no gaps or voids to affect thermal value, and no space
for moisture, insects or rodents to infiltrate. Vapor barriers are easily
achieved and thermal performance is enhanced since there is no through
metal conductance from exterior to interior.
Materials & Finish
Building with Metecno-Aluma Shield panels essentially
allows for the construction of a closed system since all joints are sealed
with gaskets or caulk.Our published thermal values are TESTED values that
are indicative of in-place performance. It is also important to note that
with Metecno-Aluma Shield panels, no harmful substances are dispersed
into the atmosphere or ground during either the manufacturing process
or the actual erection stages of construction. The standard exterior and
interior face material for Metecno-Aluma Shield wall and roof panels is
26-gauge stucco embossed G-90 galvanized steel. A 20-year PPG Duranar
PVDF exterior finish is standard for all commercial/industrial applications.
Optional exterior skins of .032 aluminum and stainless steel are also
available as well as exterior color choices. The interior sheet features
a 20-year PPG finish that allows the face to serve as a pre-finished ceiling
or wall. For cold storage applications, the standard exterior and interior
finish is a USDA accepted PPG Durafin 2000™ High Performance Coating
that can be used in process areas requiring heavy wash down. It is highly
durable, readily cleanable and provides a 20 year warranted performance.
Lower Field Assembly Costs
Metecno-Aluma Shield metal insulated composite panels
are installed from the exterior side of a building using a minimal number
of fasteners. The AW-200, 300, 400 and 500 panels are fastened with a
clip and screw concealed in the interlocking side joints. The HR-900 roof
panel is fastened through the high rib with top-side clips and fasteners
painted to match the panels.
Thanks to the composite nature of Metecno-Aluma Shield
panels, installation is accomplished with a one-step pass around the building
that provides a completed exterior finish, the insulation and a completed
interior finish. Compare this to the multi-piece, multi-pass operation
required to install field assembled systems. With Metecno-Aluma Shield
panels, labor costs are reduced while building enclosure and overall completion
time are expedited. Additionally, panels can be erected during inclement
weather thanks to the products' closed cell polyiso core.
Total Value
Consider all the advantages of building with Metecno-Aluma
Shield insulated panels, and then factor in their competitive price. The
result is total value. Value not only during construction, but also during
the life of the building thanks to reduced energy and maintenance costs.
Metecno-Aluma Shield metal insulated composite panels... the very best
choice for your construction dollar.
