Insulated Wall and Rainscreen Systems in San Antonio and Austin

No. An insulated metal panel is a sealed, factory-made sandwich that keeps water out at its own joints. A rainscreen relies on a vented cavity and a separate barrier behind the outer panel. Some buildings use both, on different elevations.

We install Kingspan and AWIP insulated metal panels as a certified installer, and we are also certified for MBCI and Morin. The Technical Library holds data sheets for Kingspan, AWIP, Metl-Span and other insulated panels.

When the space inside is cooled, heated or held at a set temperature: offices, food buildings, cold storage, labs and conditioned warehouses. An open shop or a dry storage warehouse can usually stay single-skin.

Thickness follows the insulation the building needs, the span between girts and the panel the designer specifies. We work from the project's thermal and structural requirements and the manufacturer's span tables rather than picking a stock size.

Often, yes. Where the frame can carry the extra weight, new girts go over the old wall and the insulated panels fix to them, which keeps the building closed during the work. The engineer confirms the frame first, and badly corroded old sheets usually come off.

The outer panel sheds most of the water, and the drained, ventilated cavity behind it carries away what gets through. The barrier layers on the backing wall do the real sealing, so their laps and openings are where we put our attention.

Each opening gets framing, a panel layout that works around it, and trims, closures and sealant detailed so the insulation and the weather line run unbroken. We settle those details with the other trades before panels are ordered.

Yes, when the panels are joined and sealed properly. Insulated panels keep the inner face close to room temperature, and sealed side joints stop humid outside air reaching cold surfaces. That matters most for cold storage and cooled space through a humid Central Texas summer.

Yes. On a reclad we enclose one bay or elevation at a time, and temporary protection for stock, equipment and staff is agreed before any old wall comes off.
