This new ebook from Hemsec<\/a> looks at insulated metal-faced panels (IMPs) and explains how these often-overlooked materials can make a major difference to commercial construction in the UK<\/h2>\n

Insulated metal-faced panels (IMPs) are engineered steel-faced panels injected with composite PIR foam. A single panel replaces a number of the materials normally used in the walls and ceilings of a commercial building<\/a>, offering a fast, cost-effective and energy efficiency construction option.<\/p>\n

Hemsec, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of insulated panels<\/a>, has seen a marked increase in their use in the modular sector for both temporary and permanent structures.<\/p>\n

In this digital publication, Hemsec highlights the reasons for using IMPs in commercial construction and where growth is expected in the UK.<\/p>\n

Demand for IMPs<\/h3>\n

This includes a look at the current UK market, which has gone from seeing a gradual increase in the use of IMPs outside of their traditional market of cold stores to a marked jump in their usage coinciding with the Covid-19 pandemic<\/a> as contractors mobilised to deliver emergency buildings in sectors such as healthcare, food and pharma.<\/p>\n

Demand appears to be shifting again, with a view to post-Covid projects such as storage warehouses to support the huge growth in online ordering, extensions to factories, schools and healthcare facilities to enable greater social distancing and even home offices.<\/p>\n

Companies who are new to using IMPs are being attracted by the significant reduction in build time, with structures delivered in days and weeks rather than months.<\/p>\n

This is without sacrificing quality, while also meaning fewer civil engineering requirements, greater internal space and exceptional U-values and R-values for thermal insulation and performance.<\/p>\n

IMPs are fire tested and rated to strict safety and building control requirements. In addition, they offer design flexibility through a wide range of internal and external finishes to suit different buildings.<\/p>\n

Hemsec provides a wealth of further information on the design, use and technical specifications of IMPs, explaining how these often-overlooked materials can make a major difference to commercial construction in the UK.<\/p>\n
