INSULATED PANEL CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

HIGHLIGHTS:

• APT-O-LITE Panels are constructed of a rigid 1 1/2", 2", and 3" thick core of 2 1/2-3 lb. density U.L. Class I polyisocyanurate/polyurethane sandwiched between two outer skins of 0.032" (minimum) embossed aluminum.
• The polyurethane core is expanded-in-place vertically from the bottom of the panel to ensure a completely purged core, free of any voids, for maximum panel performance.
• The closed cell foam insulation is non-absorptive and will not support mold or mildew growth.
• Other gauges and combinations of smooth aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, paint-grip steel, or pre-finished metal may be used as panel skins.
• The panels are joined by no-thru metal extruded aluminum structural members, specifically designed to ensure an insulated, air-tight joint while simultaneously reinforcing the panels for high pressure and high loading applications.
• All panel joints are sealed air and watertight with a specially formulated silicone sealer and will be mechanically fastened with drill point screws or pop rivets.
• Where sound absorption is required, panel surfaces may be acoustically treated by the addition of a 2" thickness of acoustical fiber enclosed in a perforated aluminum liner.

A complete package including piece-marked panels, extruded joiners, trim angles, fasteners, sealer, and detailed erection drawings is provided. For applications requiring additional structural reinforcement, structural supports can be recommended for installation by the contractor.
