Industrial Metal Building Panels
A special blend of FRP designed for its superior strength and feather-weight. Proven to stand up to a hurricane.
Problem:
Kal-Lite has long been used in industrial metal building panels for its easy to clean interior surface. But in this application, the problem was the core of the panel itself. Our customer needed something to replace the heavy metal plate used it their product that gives the panel rigidity.
Solution:
Kal-Lite developed an ultra-thin continuous sheet with a very high concentration of fiberglass. With multiple layers of woven roving and chopped glass we can achieve a much greater strength to weight ratio – it is both strong and light! When the sheeting has been laminated to the core insulating material, it became a product strong enough to hold up to the most rigorous testing. In fact, the customers finished product has passed Dade County hurricane testing!

Solution:
By communicating with our customer, Kal-Lite produced a group of products that were tailor-made to suit their needs. The material passed all required FAA tests in their class, and held up to stress from loading and unloading.
