1.0 Insulating panels as shown on the drawings shall be ISOWALL brand insulating panels as manufactured by Advanced Insulation Concepts, Inc., Florence, Kentucky.

1.1 Panel facings shall be permanently bonded to the insulating core with a heat polymerizing adhesive. 

1.1.1 Exterior facings shall be .020" or .024" galvanized steel, G-90 Hot dipped, conforming to ASTM A653 Grade 33, precoated with a nominal 1 mil thick silicone modified polyester finish (Beige, 
Limestone or Polar White). Facings shall be designated as smooth or stucco embossed.

1.1.2 Interior facings shall be .020" or .024" galvanized steel, G-90 Hot dipped, conforming to ASTM A653 Grade 33, precoated with a     nominal 1 mil thick Polar White silicone modified polyester finish acceptable to the USDA. Facings shall be designated as smooth or stucco embossed.

1.1.3 Stainless steel interior facings, where designated, shall be .018" minimum Type 302B stainless steel, stucco embossed. 

1.1.4 Plastic Coated Steel interior facings, where designated, shall be .020" galvanized steel, G-90 Hot dipped, conforming to ASTM 653 Grade 33 precoated with .004" White polyvinyl chloride Plastisol acceptable to the USDA. Facings shall be designated as smooth or stucco embossed.

1.1.5 Composite facings, where designated, shall be .060" fiber-glass reinforced polyester, conforming to NFPA Class C or better,         laminated to 5/8" oriented strand/aspen flake board.

1.2 Panel edges shall be precisely formed to assure foam to foam contact and alignment of panel facings and to facilitate vapor barrier and sanitary sealing as required.

1.2.1 Tongue and Groove Edge Treatment (TAGET) shall be continuously roll formed into facings such that the formed tongue of one panel fits into the groove formed by the facing and core of the adjacent panel. In addition, the core shall be grooved to accept a .25" x 2.75" tempered hardboard alignment spline.

1.2.2 Panels shall be formed and grooved to accept aluminum or poly chloride H-Moldings. In addition, the core shall be grooved to accept a .25" x 2.75" tempered hardboard alignment spline.

1.3 Metal panel facings shall have a roll formed configuration which enhances appearance and panel strength.

1.3.1 Exterior wall facings with TAGET shall have a continuously roll formed rib/groove configuration consisting of 1.375" x 0.10" ribs alternating with 0.06" deep grooves spaced so that the joint        between panels simulates a groove.

1.3.2 Interior facings with TAGET shall have a continuously roll formed configuration consisting of 0.06" deep grooves spaced approximately 6" apart so that the joint between panels simulates a groove.

1.3.3 Both exterior and interior metal facings with H-Moldings shall have a continuously roll formed configuration consisting of 0.04" x 0.75" shadowlines spaced 5" apart.

1.4 Insulating core thickness and type shall be determined based on the temperature differential and other building requirements.

1.4.1 Expanded Polystyrene shall have the following properties:

DENSITY (pcf) 1.0
ELASTIC MODULUS (psi) 200
SHEAR MODULUS (psi) 300
K-FACTOR AT 40 F MEAN .24

1.4.2 Extruded Polystyrene shall be designated Styrofoam™ Blueboard or equal and shall conform to product specifications published by the manufacturer.

1.4.3 Polyisocyanurate foam shall be designated Elfoam™ T200 or approved equal and shall conform to product specifications published by the manufacturer.

1.4.4 Core materials shall be tested by an approved laboratory in accordance with ASTM E84 and have a flamespread rating of 25 or less and a smoke developed rating of 450 or less at a         thickness of 4 inches.

CAUTION: Plastic facing and insulating core materials are combustible and may present a serious fire hazard if improperly used or stored. Their flamability characteristics are defined for purposes of comparison with other materials by various standard tests such as ASTM E84. However, such tests do not measure the performance or reflect hazards presented by these materials or any other materials under actual fire conditions.

1.5 Dimensions

1.5.1 Panel width shall be 47.375 inches +/- 1/16 inch.

1.5.2 Panel thickness shall be as ordered +/- 1/16 inch.

1.5.3 Panel length shall be full height unless otherwise designated. Length tolerance shall be +/- 1/8 inch.

1.5.4 Panels shall be fabricated in the field to fit the structure including sloping walls to fit roof shape and fitting wall corners.

   2.0 PANEL ACCESSORIES

2.1 Aluminum Extrusions shall be 6063 alloy.

2.1.1 Exterior painted aluminum extrusions shall color match the panels and be coated with a nominal 1.0 mil polyester finish.

2.1.2 Anodized aluminum extrusions shall conform to Architectural Class II (AA-C22-A31).

2.1.3 Interior painted aluminum extrusions shall color match the panels and be coated with a nominal 1.0 polyester paint acceptable to the USDA.

2.2 Polyvinyl chloride H-Moldings and other trim shall be manufactured with virgin PVC, color to match FRP, and be acceptable to the USDA.

2.3 Hardboard splines shall be ¼" x 2 - 3/4" x 96" tempered hardboard.

2.4 Trim around doors and other penetrations shall be fabricated by installer using materials which match the panel facing.
