The Metalcraft Insulated Panel System comprises:

• Fully finished internal/external wall and roofing panels, and
• The following ancillary components:
  • 40x40x1.6mm aluminium angles
  • 12mm hold-down bolt
  • 10mm mushroom bolts
  • Flashings
  • 4.8x14.3mm (ASMG63.66) aluminium rivets
  • 70x50x5mm plate washers 
  • 14 gauge self-drilling screws with 25mm steel washer
  • Silicone sealant

The Metalcraft Insulated Panels are branded as:

• ThermoPanel, or
• ThermoSpan

They are manufactured from a Class S (AS1366.3-1992) expanded EPS core with factory laminated COLORSTEEL®  facings of 0.4 to 0.6mm thickness.

The MetalCraft Insulated Panels are available in the following thicknesses (mm): 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300.

The Metalcraft Insulated Panel System is certified for use as either:

• A fully finished internal/external wall or roof cladding system; or
• A structural wall system providing bracing capacity for wind and seismic loads

1. The Metalcraft Insulated Panel System is certified for new or existing buildings within the following scope:

• a. A risk score of 0-20, calculated using Table 1 & Table 2, Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Third Edition including amendment 10 (05 November 2020); and
• b. Situated in all corrosion zones as defined in NZS3604:2011 except microclimate and less than 50M from breaking surf; and c. Located further than 1m from the relevant boundary; and
• d. With either:
  • i. A building height of up to 10m in wind zones up to and including extra high as defined in NZS3604:2011; or
  • ii. A building height determined by specific design limited by a maximum design differential wind pressure (ULS) of 2.5kPa.
• e. Roof pitch minimum of 3 degrees; and
• f. With timber or steel framing when used as a cladding.

2. The Metalcraft Insulated Panel System must be specified, designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the set of documents below collectively referenced as Applicable Technical Documentation.

3. Where material used as internal surface lining are to achieve Material Group Number 1 (determined under the condition of ISO9705:1993), the installation must be with ancillary components as follows:

• a. Steel base tracks.
• b. Thermopanel EPS panels joined with stainless steel rivets at 500mm centres. and sealed with Holdfast Firecryl intumescent acrylic sealant.
• c. 60x60x0.5mm steel angles fixed with stainless steel rivets at 200mm centres at wall corner junctions.
• d. 80x130x0.5mm steel angles fixed with stainless steel rivets at 200mm centres at wall to ceiling junctions, where 130mm leg of the angle is against the wall.
