CF Light Mesa is an industry-leading, light-profile insulated metal panel designed for use in applications where energy efficiency is paramount. With a slightly shallower profile than the original Mesa profile, the minor corrugated rib of 1/16″ depth provides a flattened appearance and creates an easily washable surface. The Light Mesa is the insulated metal panel of choice for use for exterior and interior walls as well as ceiling applications.
Light Mesa panels are ideal for cold storage applications, including dry goods warehouses, cooler and freezer buildings, food processing facilities, and all temperature-controlled environments. This insulated metal panel are for achieving and maintaining critical temperature controlled and insulation values. Metl-Span also offers USDA-compliant stainless steel for use in daily washdown areas. Contact our representatives today to learn more.
