The CF Flute exterior insulated metal wall panels are ideal for commercial, institutional, and industrial applications. The fluted wall panelās ribbed profile provides bold vertical reveals, complimenting almost any building design. The profile exhibits traditional styling with distinctive vertical lines and can be used in conjunction with other Metl-Span profiles.
For use as an exterior wall to create a distinctive building profile where temperature control and insulation values are critical to the performance of the building, Flute panels are ideal for cold storage applications, including dry goods warehouses, cooler and freezer buildings, and food processing facilities. Flute panels are for all temperature-controlled environments where maintaining temperature control and insulation values are critical. Metl-Span also offers USDA-compliant stainless steel for use in washdown areas. Contact our representatives today to learn more.
1. Metallic paint finishes will exhibit color shift, shade variances, striations and longitudinal patterning that are inherent characteristics and are not a product defect or cause for rejection.
2. All Metl-Span colors are formulated to provide maximum energy-efficiency and solar reflectivity. All standard available Premium I and Premium II colors have been formulated for maximum solar reflectance.
3. Prices vary by color, gauge and quantity of metal. Please contact your Metl-Span representative for complete information.
4. All colors shown are approximate actual finish colors displayed as accurately as possible.
5. Light Stone ā Tuff CoteĀ® does not match the Light Stone ā Standard SP color offering.

Load Span Tables
The Load Span Tables below, excluding Partition Wall, are based on Allowable Stress Design (ASD). For loads calculated based on ASCE 7-10 (LRFD), please refer to section 2.4.1 of ASCE 7-10 for the applicable load combinations using Allowable Stress Design.
Deflection caused by temperature differential induced thermal bow is not addressed in the above table and may result in allowable spans that are less than the spans listed above and may require the use of heavier 24 or 22 gage panel facings at added cost. Except for self-supporting the dead weight of the panel, partition wall panels are non-load bearing. Ceiling panels must be supported from the structure above or by an internal support structure. Panel skins must be captured at both ends of the panel by supporting members designed to support reaction pressures from a 5 psf interior pressure. CF-42 = 42ā³ wide. CF-45 = 44.5ā³ wide.

Collectors eventually want to display their collection. A classic car enthusiast wanted a state-of-the-art facility in the Adirondack Mountains of New York; a āgreenā building to showcase his stable of Fords and Packards. To help the facility be energy efficient, insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span were chosen for the roofing and walls.
