SSP Roof Panel with VersaLok™

Thermal Properties - Test Data

Description:	The SSP Standing Seam Roof Panel with the patented VersaLok™ sidelap connection. The panel is a true factory foamed-in-place trapezoidal roof panel with a standing seam offering superior weathertightness. With the IPS patented VersaLok™ sidelap, the roof panels snap together before being mechanically seamed. This Tecfoam panel is filled with non CFC polyurethane modified isocyanurate foam achieving R-values up to 39.5.
Dimensions:	Nominal 36" coverage; Thickness (T) – 2", 2 ½", 3", 4" and 5".
Material:	Exterior - 24 ga. steel (std). 26, 22 ga. also available. Interior - 26 ga. steel (std). 24, 22 ga. also available.
Finish Options:	Exterior - Galvalume Plus® Signature® 200 (silicone polyester) Signature® 300 (Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000®) Interior - USDA White (standard) Signature® 200 (silicone polyester)
Colors:	IPS Panel Color and Finish Guide
Texture:	The exterior skin is smooth as a standard and available embossed as an option. The interior skin is embossed only.
Length:	The maximum recommended length is 35' 0". Contact IPS for panel length options.
Fasteners:	Concealed clip, 14 ga. steel base with an 18 ga. steel tab.
