Utilizing insulated metal panels (IMPs) within building projects has become one of the most innovative developments within the construction industry. Used as interior cladding, exterior roofing, inner-room partitions – you name it! These panels combine durability with versatility; reducing overall construction time, increasing structural lifespan, and minimizing both operating costs and maintenance responsibilities. But how much will they cost you?
How Much Do Insulated Panels Cost?
At first glance, IMPs may seem more costly than traditional building materials. However, it is important to consider the many advantages of constructing with IMPs. Because IMPs are pre-fabricated and lightweight, they are far easier than traditional building materials to install. They also easily achieve airtightness and insulation levels with no extra work. This means building time will be quicker AND cheaper. So, while IMPs may be more expensive to buy upfront, over the whole project, the costs will only be 3 to 5% more.
Saving Over The Long Term
It is also important to consider how IMPs will save you money over the long term. Their insulation and reflective properties keep cold air in and hot air out – or vice versa during the winter. Leading to huge savings in terms of heating and cooling costs. IMPs also lend themselves to a long shelf life which requires minimum maintenance; saving you repair and replacement costs that are unfounded in traditional building materials. Don’t forget to consider the unexpected. Durable metal panels can resist hurricane force winds and can also help protect your business from fire thanks to their flame resistant foam core.
While up-front costs may seem higher, it is important to bear in mind all the ways IMPs save you money in the long run. From labor to maintenance to energy efficiency. Metal panels are a wonderful, eco-friendly, and long-lasting investment to make for your home or building. Wondering which style of IMPs is right for your project?
