BEHLEN Steel Buildings Insulated Metal Panels
BEHLEN Industries LP offers ARTSPAN Insulated Metal Panels as an option for purchase with our Rigid Frame systems.
Through our sister company ARTSPAN Inc., BEHLEN offers insulated metal panels for purchase with BEHLEN Rigid Frame systems. These panels are available in a variety of profiles including Skyline Roof, Horizon Wall, and Leading Edge Wall panels. They can be installed as exterior and interior vertical walls and high-performance roofs; including cold storage applications. They are well suited for agricultural, industrial, commercial, recreational, and intuitional projects of all sizes and complexities.
The installation of insulated metal panels is quick and easy, allowing the buildings to be completely enclosed in a fraction of the time compare to conventional wall assemblies. The superior thermal values make increasing thermal performance across climate zones easy to achieve for both walls and roofs.

TABLE NOTES:
1) Allowable loads were derived from tests conducted in accordance with ASTM E1592 and ASTM E72.
2) Allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.0 for bending and shear.
3) Connection strengths reflect a standard fastener pattern – with two (2) 1/4″ – 14 self drilling screw into minimum 14ga substrate. Other substrates must be designed separately. 2″ wall panel utilize a flat clip. All other thicknesses utilize an angle clip.
4) Fastener capacity is based on manufacturer pullout/pullover data and are calculated with a safety factor of 3.0.
5) Allowable loads assume a minimum bearing of 2″.
6) Thermal Effects were not considered in analysis.
7) The structural capacity of the supporting members were not considered.
8) Bending/Shear and Deflection for 5″ and 6″ panels based on 4″ capacity.

TABLE NOTES:
1. Allowable loads were derived from tests conducted in accordance with ASTM E1592 and ASTM E72.
2. Allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.0 for bending and shear.
3. Connection strengths reflect a standard fastener pattern – with two (2) 1/4″ – 14 self drilling screw into minimum 14ga substrate. Other substrates must be designed separately.
4. Fastener capacity is based on manufacturer pullout/pullover data and are calculated with a safety factor of 3.0.
5. Allowable loads assume a minimum bearing of 2″.
6. Thermal Effects were not considered in analysis.
7. The structural capacity of the supporting members were not considered.
