APPLICATIONS:

THERMAWALL 1500 SERIES PANELS are a multi-use pre-insulated composite cladding suitable for exterior wall envelopes in refrigerated or freezer buildings as well as suspended ceilings or exterior flat roofs in the food processing, pharmaceutical and controlled environment areas. Industrial/Architectural applications provide designers with a wide range of practical and aesthetically pleasing design flexibilities. The superior joint engineering assures a tight, well designed, building envelope.

CONSTRUCTION:

THERMAWALL 1500 SERIES PANELS are insulated with a NON CFC thermosetting polyurethane insulation that meets most building code specifications. Structural grade steel facings are precisely roll formed and foam insulation is expanded between the metal sheets in a state-of-the-art continuous line production sequence that is fully computerized to ensure optimum quality and consistency in every panel.

INSULATION:

THERMAWALL 1500 SERIES PANELS with foamed polyurethane insulation are offered in a thickness range of 2" to 6" providing insulation values of R-15 to R-47.

FACINGS:

THERMAWALL 1500 SERIES PANELS have standard 26 gauge facings of stucco embossed galvanized steel to ASTM A-525 G-90 designation. Base steel shall be structural quality to minimum Grade “A” 33,000 PSI, conforming to ASTM A-446. Consult factory for optional panel facings of galvalume, aluminum or stainless steel.

COATING SYSTEMS:

STANDARD PANEL finishes are imperial white siliconized polyester (Dept. Of Agriculture Recognized) with a total dry film thickness of 1.0 Mil including 0.2 Mil primer. Optional finishes include Kynar PVF2; plastisol and polyester coatings in a range of stock and special order colors.

PANEL DESIGN

THERMAWALL 1500 SERIES PANEL utilizes a superior joint design providing concealed fastener anchorage affording connection of both metal skins to the building structure, double caulk seal provision and excellent air and water infiltration test results.

Panels are produced in the attractive “SHADOW LINE” Profile.

Panel coverage is available in 42" wide.
