How Fire Rated Wall Panels Contribute to Creating Safe Steel Buildings
In industrial construction, building primarily out of steel offers several advantages when it comes to fire safety. Since steel is non-flammable, it can easily resist fire and the spread of fire within a building. However, working with steel is only a starting point. Factors such as occupancy and location must be considered, plus -at the […]

How to integrate structural insulated panels with metal-framed buildings … and why.
Structural insulated panels (SIP) play a starring role in the future of energy-efficient construction. Consider how much energy is required to heat or cool a large metal-framed building. A high school gymnasium. A community center. A house of worship. A cold-storage facility. If the building envelope leaks even a little or transfers too much heat, […]

Building Successful Indoor Cannabis Cultivation Facilities
Building successful indoor cannabis cultivation facilities requires a lot more than a flower pot and a sun lamp. Successful commercial facilities for indoor growing of cannabis for Canada’s booming legal cannabis market requires planning for regulatory requirements and judicious choices in building materials. The difference between success and failure sometimes depends on choices in construction. […]

Cannabis Micro-Cultivation Licensing and Its Security Requirements
When cannabis was first legalized in Canada, small growers were permitted under the same standards as large growers. The costs of licensing, staffing, and operations made small growing a cost-prohibitive venture. But with changes in the law in 2018 that permit small growers to operate under a micro cultivation license, small cannabis growers can operate […]

Insulated metal panels Contribute to Sustainable Building Design
Sustainability is one of the most important factors in modern construction. People expect their buildings to be long-lasting and relatively low-maintenance, capable of remaining cost-efficient for many years. This can create a big challenge for architects and structural engineers – but it’s a challenge that insulated metal panels (IMPs) can help overcome! What Are insulated metal […]

Structural Insulated Panels Help Prevent Condensation Within Metal Buildings
Managing the atmosphere within a metal building can be a major challenge in a number of ways, and one of the biggest challenges is preventing condensation. Besides making the interior unpleasant to be in, condensation can wreak havoc with electrical systems, computers, critical experiments, and more. Left unchecked, it can even lead to mold growth. Condensation […]

How Isowall Insulated Panels Solve Challenges in Cold Storage Construction
If you need a facility capable of storing cold items or products, there are a lot of challenges to be overcome in design. Traditional cold rooms are often cramped, energy-inefficient, and difficult to manage in a way which protects the vulnerable products inside. In particular, the bigger they need to be, the harder construction becomes […]
