Sherwin-Williams, the largest U.S.-based paint supplier, says that metal roofs with their combination of durability, strength, fire resistance, and architectural design are no longer just a choice for commercial projects.

Insulated metal panels (IMPs), with their energy efficiency and thermal performance, are still the go-to material for cold storage facility construction, but advances in IMP detailing by manufacturers and architects over the years now allows these systems to be used across a wider range of projects.

Insulated metal panels (IMPs) shine brightest when it comes to energy efficiency with their built-in insulation, high R-values, low thermal conductivity, and all-in-one air, water, and vapor barrier.

IMPs are not only a green solution that can help your building qualify for LEED certification, but...
