INSULATED WALL PANELS

Fire-rated, code-ready insulated panels engineered for cold rooms, refrigerated buildings, and sound-sensitive commercial environments. When the cold can’t get out and the heat can’t get in, your margins stay healthy.

— THE PANEL LINES WE INSTALL

Five Manufacturers. Two Built in the Metroplex.

PanelTX is not tied to a single manufacturer, which means we spec the panel that fits the job instead of the panel we happen to stock. We install and service insulated metal panel systems from Kingspan, Metl-Span, KPS Global, FALK Panel, and Globe Panels.

Two of those five build in North Texas. KPS Global manufactures its walk-in cooler and freezer panels in Fort Worth, and Metl-Span runs a plant in Lewisville. For a Metroplex project that means shorter freight, shorter lead times, and a factory we can drive to when something needs sorting out in person.

Choosing between them usually comes down to three questions. What temperature does the space have to hold, and for how many hours a day? What does the fire and building code require for this occupancy? And how does the panel have to look when it is finished — a hidden cold room and an exposed architectural facade are not the same decision.

Panel thickness runs two to six inches, R-14 through R-48, in widths from 24 to 42 inches and lengths out to 53 feet. Longer panels mean fewer joints, fewer thermal breaks, and less secondary framing behind them. Send us the footprint and the temperature and we will tell you which line makes sense and why.

— COMMON QUESTIONS

Insulated Panel Questions

What R-value do I actually need?Coolers holding around 35F typically land in the R-25 to R-32 range; freezers at -10F usually want R-32 and up. Texas heat load pushes those numbers higher than the same building would need further north, which is where a lot of out-of-state specs get it wrong.

Can panels go up on an existing building?Yes. Retrofitting an insulated panel liner inside an existing metal building is one of the most common jobs we do — it converts uninsulated space into climate-controlled space without a rebuild.

How long is a typical lead time?It depends on the line and the finish, but sourcing from a Fort Worth or Lewisville plant is usually measurably quicker than pulling from out of state. We will give you a real date before you order, not an optimistic one.

Do you install, or only supply?Both. Most customers want the panels, the doors, the coving, and the refrigeration handled as one scope by one crew, which is how we are set up. We will also sell panels alone if you have your own installer.
