A complete high performance building enclosure system.
Architectural Insulated Metal Panels
Formawall, CENTRIA’s flagship building enclosure system, provides architects unprecedented design possibilities in a single-component IMP (insulated metal panel). Combined with Formawall system’s legendary and maintenance-free hygrothermal performance – thermal, air, water, and vapor protection – architects are assured a building enclosure that looks as beautiful as it performs, all in a single remarkable component. Plus, Formawall is a complete enclosure system that includes integrated windows, sunshades, daylighting panels, and louvers that are engineered to integrate seamlessly with Formawall panels.
FOAMED IN PLACE
Unlike other IMPs, manufactured by adhering rigid foam board to metal facers, Formawall panels are foamed in place, where liquid foaming components are combined as metal facers are positioned. The liquid insulating foam expands and sets into a solid state, filling all voids and producing a remarkably strong and lasting metal-to-insulation bond. This results in maximum panel insulation value, strength, and flatness.
HALOGEN-FREE AND ENHANCED FIRE RESISTANCE
Halogens are toxic chemicals that negatively impact the environment and the human body. Unlike traditional polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation, CENTRIA’s proprietary PIR formulation used with Formawall is halogen-free. Equally important, the Formawall system has been extensively tested to NFPA 285 to validate its fire performance.
SOPHISTICATED JOINERY
Formawall IMPs feature panel joinery unequalled for preventing water penetration. This joinery is uniquely designed to combat the physical forces that cause water penetration including air pressure drop, kinetic energy, capillary action, gravity, and surface tension. Combined with Formawall panel’s full perimeter concealed seals, Formawall system ensures a long-lasting weathertight building enclosure.
