MBCI has added three new insulated metal panel (IMP) profiles to its eco-FICIENT Series product line. These offerings include the eco-FICIENT Insulated 7.2 Panel, the eco-FICIENT Insulated HPCI Barrier and the eco-FICIENT Insulated Fire Resistant Panel.
The Insulated 7.2 Panel combines a traditional 7.2 rib panel design with a premier polyurethane foam core. It can be installed both vertically and horizontally, allowing the same design flexibility that is available with our single skin 7.2 Panel. The coverage width is 36 inches and it is available in thicknesses of 2
½, 3, 4, 5 and 6 inches.
The HPCI Barrier™ is an air, water, thermal and vapor barrier panel that can be used behind any type of façade. This back-up panel is installed in a horizontal orientation completely outside the structural supports. There are no thermal bridges to reduce the energy efficiency of the wall. This panel system is quick and easy to install and provides an economical solution to conventional air, water, thermal and vapor control without sacrificing thermal efficiency using a zero ozone-depleting polyurethane insulation material. The coverage width is 42 inches and it’s available in thicknesses of 2, 3 and 4 inches. This panel must be separated from the interior of the building by an approved thermal barrier of
.5-inch gypsum wallboard to meet IBC requirements.
The Insulated Fire Resistant Panel consists of metal facings bonded to a structural mineral wool core to create a composite panel that achieves fire resistance ratings under the most demanding of conditions. Unlike traditional wall materials, the Insulated Fire Resistant Panel offers a level of flexibility architects, contractors and building owners won’t find in any other product in the United States. The mineral wool panel is rated for its 1-, 2- and 3-hour fire resistance qualities and provides satisfactory thermal performance and protection from the elements. This panel also has good sound reduction acoustical properties because of the mineral wool insulation. The eco-FICIENT Fire Resistant Panel is available in a width of 42 inches.
