Sustainable Metal Wall & Roof Panels

We are committed to Forging Paths to Sustainability

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT

CENTRIA goes beyond beauty and performance to provide sustainable design options. Our commitment to sustainability has resulted in some of the most innovative building products on the market today. CENTRIA meets the sustainability needs of customers by developing environmentally friendly products, reducing our overall consumption of energy and harmful chemicals and continuing on the path of environmental stewardship. Read more below how CENTRIA can help you incorporate our energy-efficient products into your next design project.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs): Transparency in Performance

CENTRIA is committed to providing architects and designers with transparent, third-party verified data to inform sustainable building decisions. Our latest EPDs for our Formawall, Versawall, and Single Skin systems demonstrate our dedication to reducing environmental impact without compromising on design or performance.

Formawall: Our flagship insulated metal panel system now features an updated EPD showcasing a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP), reinforcing its position as a high-performance, sustainable solution.
Versawall: The new EPD for Versawall panels highlights improvements in environmental metrics, making it a versatile choice for projects aiming for sustainability certifications.
Single Skin Panels: Our NEW Single Skin EPD reflects our continuous efforts to enhance sustainability across all product lines, offering designers more options for environmentally responsible materials.

These EPDs are developed in accordance with ISO 14025 and provide comprehensive life cycle assessment data, enabling informed choices for green building projects.

CENTRIA EPDs - Even lower GWP in our latest EPD, and a published U-Factor to match.

DECLARING OUR SUSTAINABILITY

As the impact of climate change and health consciousness shape the future of architectural design, choosing building materials that align with both environmental and human health goals are crucial. Our Formawall Dimension Series foam, now equipped with a Declare Label, stands as a high-performance, sustainable option for architects seeking transparency and long-term sustainability. Additionally, it offers compliance with various green building standards and avoids Red List chemicals that can harm both the ecosystems and building occupants.

CIRCULAR VS. EXTRACTIVE STEEL MAKING

CENTRIA is committed to meeting the demand for environmentally friendly products that enhance the sustainability of buildings.

Nucor Insulated Panel Group Sustainability Benchmarks

Our IMPs are significantly more thermally efficient than other common wall systems with an 8.4 R-value.
Our panels achieve lower embodied carbon content and GWP than other common wall systems.
Nucor’s circular steel mill GHG intensity is 1/3 the global average of extractive, blast furnace steelmakers for Scopes 1, 2 & 3.
Nucor, our parent company, is the steel industry’s largest buyer of Power Purchase Agreements and largest buyer of renewable energy of any steel maker.
CENTRIA IMPs holistic approach seamlessly integrates windows, sunshades, daylighting panels, louvers, and rainscreens to maintain critical weather controls across the envelope for superior energy efficiency.
Our pioneering metal panels and building products help architects and owners meet and exceed the industry’s most stringent green building standards, including the ENERGY STAR program and the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED) program.

KNOW YOUR STEEL

Made from the World’s Most Sustainable Steel, CENTRIA products, including its line of insulated metal panels (IMPs), are composed of mostly steel. However, with CENTRIA products, this is no ordinary steel. The average recycled content in Nucor steel is 77.3%. This steel, combined with CENTRIA IMPs’ superior energy-savings and material use reduction as a single-component building envelope solution, makes CENTRIA IMPs among the top choice for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
