Its insulation product is made of polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam while the coil stock used by the company is a painted steel coil with typical thicknesses of 26, 24, and 22 gauge. “Imagine an Oreo cookie,” Munley says. “In essence, that’s what we are doing. We have a foam product that’s inside a very long metal panel and then we put materials outside this to meet aesthetic needs.” FALK Panel offers a wide selection of coating types, including both standard materials offered through Sherwin-Williams and more bespoke coatings. “We have an exclusive relationship with Tata Steel where we provide HPS coating - a very durable coating with about 7mm of additional coating on top of steel for more discriminating building owners and design professionals. HPS products come in a wide selection of colors and are very durable from a performance standpoint, but offered at a much lower cost than other high-performance coatings.” FALK Panel’s products are also extremely weather resistant. “One of the neat things about our products is they can even be installed in inclement weather conditions,” Munley continues. “Everything is encapsulated so it doesn’t get compromised when wet.” Given the size of the US, these weather conditions vary hugely. FALK Panel’s products have been tested in all kinds of climates, boasting customers across the US. Although a lot of the company’s work is nearby in the Midwest, many customers that have received the company’s products end up taking them further afield. “We are carrying out work in Nova Scotia, Florida, California, and a whole range of other locations in the US and Canada,” Munley explains. “Customers are taking us to projects they have in other parts of North America.”
