Carports, Walkcovers & Canopies
The Snap-N-Lock™ Insulated Panel, manufactured by Structall Building Systems, Inc., offers the architect and developer planning a carport, canopy or walkcover a wide range of design flexibility and product benefits. Whether your unit is free-standing, wall mounted, has a flat or gable roof or must complement existing architectural styles, the system adapts easily.
It features a routed expanded polystyrene foam core that provides continuous insulation and eliminates any concern over condensation problems. The skins are rolled to form a unique, patented locking system that allows sealant to be applied on the inside of the panel. This protects the sealant from ultraviolet destruction and forms a waterproof seal. The panels go together quickly and easily and are built to last.
Depending on the job requirements, the panel can be built 3" to 8" thick and comes in 23-1/8" and 4' widths. Various gauges of aluminum and steel are available. Internal beams can be built right into the panel for a multitude of uses including lighting and fan support. If you wish to add a splash of sun to your walkcover or canopy, openings can be precut and framed at the factory for skylights. Panels can be manufactured to the exact length needed, saving valuable time at the job site and are pre-engineered to snap directly together.
The product is backed by a 10 year limited manufacturer's warranty and complies with national building codes.
Whether you represent a school, hospital, military base or church, Snap-N-Lock™ Insulated Panels are the perfect choice for a beautiful yet economical walkcover. The panels are also proven and tested in many other applications including vending booth covers, in-plant offices, restaurants, industrial storage units, condominium carport facilities, storefront canopies, utility covers, carwash structures, and loading zone canopies.
Advantages of a Structall Structure
- Structall Snap-N-Lock™ Insulated Panels have a smooth and flat surface top and bottom.
- During construction, you can walk on top of the Snap-N-Lock™ Insulated Panels, after the first panel is secured into place.
- Panels will wash clean with each rain. There are no grooves or channels as in "W" pans or building sheets to hold debris.
- No condensation dripping on your car or equipment.
