DISCLAIMERThis installation guide is only to be used in conjunction with panel installation drawings and PermaTherm recommended details. Details shown in the projects shop drawings take precedence over any similar information in this guideline.

Shop drawings may be prepared by your design engineer or the panel contractor. If you need a recommendation for a design engineer, call PermaTherm customer ser-vice. 706-468-7500

This guide is intended to provide the panel installer with recommended methods, procedures and guidelines for the installation of PermaTherm wall and ceiling panels for commercial and industrial cold storage applications. Information presented is ac-curate but may not cover all situations, building conditions and details of your specific project. Consult the design engineer if this guide does not cover your construction requirements. It is the responsibility of the project engineer and panel installer to en-sure specified air tightness of a building using approved drawings and the appropriate type of sealants. It is the sole responsibility of the owner’s panel installer to maintain quality workmanship in accordance with approved shop drawings to ensure the best performance of the wall and ceiling system. PermaTherm recommends installers read this document fully before ordering and receiving panels.

Follow the architect’s approved shop drawings and engineering calculations for your project specific fastening patterns. The engineer of record is responsible for verifying applicable design loads and panel fastening requirements.

We are glad you have chosen PermaTherm panels for your new project. Your building is very important to us and this is why we, at PermaTherm, suggest that only experi-enced panel installers complete the installation. While PermaTherm panels are easy to install, there are certain “tricks of the trade” that only an experienced installer will identify with. If our 25+ years of experience in the cold storage warehouse business have taught us one thing it is that any panels are only as good as the design engineer and panel installer. Choose wisely. You may spend a few more pennies on the front end, but you will save many dollars in the long run.

INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing PermaTherm insulated metal panels. PermaTherm has been manufacturing insulated metal panels for the cold storage industry for over 25 years. Our unique approach to help you and your team construct the best building possible is the cornerstone of what we are about. We manufacture high quality EPS panels for cold storage that meet strict guidelines for quality and function.

These are just a few of the benefits of using PermaTherm panels for your project.1. LTTR (long term thermal resistance) R-values as high as 60 R. without any

degradation of R value over time.2. PermaTherm has the strongest insulated metal panel on the market today.

No panel is stronger than our wall and ceiling panels. Greater spans can cut down on red steel requirements.

3. Easy tongue and groove design allows you to construct easily and efficiently.4. PermaTherm panels are available in different textures, profiles and colors.5. Large job or small job, you will get the same attention to detail from our Per-

maTherm team.6. We also produce all of the trim and accessories that you will need to complete

your job. One call gets you everything you need to complete your project.7. Available from 2” thick up to 12” thick. Lengths up to 60 feet.8. PermaTherm panels are warranted for one full year from the date of purchase.9. Short lead times for delivery. In most instances Permathrm can deliver panels

in 3 to 4 weeks.

Why would you use anyone else?



DELIVERY AND INSPECTION OF YOUR PERMATHERM PANELS

Panels are carefully packaged in large shrink-wrapped bundles, then shipped on flat bed trailers to the construction site. When a shipment is received, check all items against the shipping document for quantities, dimensions, colors, transit damages, etc. Document any shortage of panels and accessories or panel damage on the bill of lading and have it signed by the driver. It is the receiver’s responsibility to make any damage claims immediately. Please note that although every effort is made to preventshipping damage, PermaTherm is not responsible for damage which may occur during transportation, delivery, storage or on-site handling. Damages must be handled be-tween the receiver and the transportation company. The transportation company may send a representative to inspect damage for your claim.



MATERIAL HANDLING AND STORAGE OF PERMATHERM INSULATED METAL PANELS

The recommended loading/unloading method for bundles less than or equal to 30’ is to use a single forklift with widely spaced forks placed under the center of the bundle.

Panel bundles over 30’ in length may be moved by using two forklifts spaced equally along the length of the bundle. Forks must not extend beyond the width of the pan-els. Fork length needs to be 46 inches to unload. If the forks are longer than 46 use a buffer so as to not allow the forks to extend beyond the width edge of the panels.

PANEL STORAGESite must have adequate storage space to receive and store the panel bundles. This space must be level, firm, clean and free from standing water. Bundles should be stored in a dry condition, with one end slightly elevated to facilitate moisture drainage.

Panels should be inspected upon delivery for presence of moisture. If moisture is pres-ent, bundles should be slit open immediately to allow ventilation and drainage.

Panels in opened bundles should be covered by a plastic sheet or tarp at the end of the working day.

The covering and bundles must be securely fastened to prevent wind damage.

If panels are not to be used immediately, then they should be stored under a tempo-rary shelter with the plastic removed from the top and sides of the bundles. Recover the bundles with a protective tarp and adequately secure both tarp and panels to prevent wind damage.



MATERIAL HANDLING AND STORAGE OF PERMATHERM INSULATED METAL PANELS

PermaTherm panels have been thoroughly evaluated and tested by independentthird party laboratories to determine all aspects of their performance. The results of these tests, in combination with our comprehensive engineering analysis, enable us to provide design assistance for nearly every project. This includes complete panel analysis of wind, live and thermal loading as well as allowable deflection, fastening and spans.

Current International Building Codes specify wall cladding panels to be designed for a de-flection of L/180. The project designer and/or engineer of re-cord should always check the applicable code(s) for deflec-tion limits. For deflection limits other than L/180, please con-tact PermaTherm’s Technical Services for evaluation.

Insulated panels should not be relied upon to provide significant diaphragm strength. Instead, cross bracing (cables, rods, angle iron etc.) should be used to provide dia-phragm. Insufficient bracing for the walls may result in damage to the panels, and will void the panel warranty.

For more information on any of the above items, please contact PermaTherm’s Customer Service:

706-468-7500The information contained in this guide is thought to be reliable and correct, but is subject to change without notice.



CUTTING OF PERMATHERM INSULATED METAL PANELS

Personnel working with panel cutting equipment should wear respiratory and eye protection at all times.

Panel cutting should take place prior to panel installation whenever possible. Use the appropriate cutting tools with extreme care to avoid panel delamination. Do not use a cutting disk, torch, and other high heat producing methods for cutting. Hot filings may damage the painted surface of the panel. PermaTherm recommends using a circular saw with a fine-tooth carbide tip blade or PermaTherm’s supplied beater blade, which was made specifically for metal panels. Power snips, nibblers or hand snips may be used to cut trims and flashings.

Milwaukee’s 8” Metal Cutting Circular Saw 6370-20 series shears the metal, produc-ing a virtually spark-free wake and cool, burr and scorch-free edges that don’t require post-cut finishing. Cool cut waste, in the form of metal shavings, is effectively con-tained with a durable magnesium blade shield and channeled into the saw’s integral Chip Tank. Cool cutting also means that materials can be handled almost immediately following a cut, reducing downtime.
