visual effects.

CENTRIA manufactures seven exposed fastener profi le

panels that can be used for wall, roofi ng and soffi t

applications. Available in G-90 galvanized steel, aluminum

and stainless steel, CENTRIA profi le panels can be installed

horizontally or vertically and can be mixed and matched to

create virtually unlimited designs.

Available Profi les

Super-Rib, MR3-36, BR5-36, Style-Rib, TR4-36, Econolap-3/4”

and Econolap-1/2”

These insulated metal composite panels

feature double tongue-and-groove joinery with

a factory-applied air and vapor seal. Available

in 26 gage standard, they install vertically

to create a wall with advanced thermal and

moisture protection properties and R values

that range from R14 to R27.

Pressure Release WallsThe dangerous potential for explosions in power generating facilities requires

design solutions that provide protection. With pressure release panels, only a

portion of a wall will ever blow away. This relieves the pressure inside an area

and diminishes the amount of overall damage to the facility.

Generating Station involved the construction

of two new coal-fi red electric generating units

and common facilities to accommodate up to

3,000 megawatts of generation.

SPECIAL SYSTEMS

The holes in the attachment item, whether

it is a panel or a panel attachment clip are

larger than the fastener head.

A special washer is placed between the

oversized hole and fastener head.

These washers are designed to fail

at certain pressure, thus allowing

the attachment item to pass over

the head of the fastener. This will

allow the section of wall to release

from the supports.

This section of wall is framed together

and held from falling to the ground by

restraining cables.

Solutions in Action

CENTRIA’s Design and Development group has worked with many major acoustical testing

laboratories developing acoustical-rated wall assemblies. Our own in-house design capabilities

can create custom systems to meet specifi c project sound attenuation requirements.

CENTRIA’s highly-tested Quietwall system is an adaptable way to enhance our Profi le Series wall

systems with the specifi c sound absorption or sound transmission loss values needed for any job,

whether STC, NRC values, or a combination of both, are required.

Quietwall Noise Reduction — sound absorption within an area

20 Gage [.91mm] Single skin – NRC = 0.10

Face Panel with perforated liner and 1.5" [38mm] thick (1.65 PCF) insulation – NRC = 0.85

Face Panel with perforated liner and 2" [51mm] thick (1.65 PCF) insulation – NRC = 0.90*Tested per ASTM C423. NRC = 0 is perfect refl ection.

NRC = 1.00 is perfect absorption.

Acoustic-Rated Walls

Quietwall Sound Transmission — sound barrier between zones

20 Gage [.91mm] Single skin – STC = 25

22 Gage [.76mm] Face Panel – STC = 40

2” [51mm] Foam Panel – STC = 23

Combination Sound System

20 Gage [.91mm] Face Panel with perforated liner and 1.5" [38mm] thick (1.65 PCF) insulation– STC = 34, NRC = 0.85

CENTRIA was contracted by Bechtel to

provide both STC and NRC values for the

First Energy Corporation’s Sammis Power

Plant project in Stratton, OH. The goal

of the project was to bring this coal-fi red

power plant into compliance with federally

mandated regulations.

Acoustical panel systems can effectively be used to:

Confi ne the noise source in an enclosure

Exclude the noise from an enclosure

Absorb noise in order to reduce the noise level in an enclosure

UL Fire-Rated WallsCENTRIA’s Firewall Systems provide layers of fi re resistant gypsum board

between the exterior profi le panel and the insulation and liner panel. By

increasing the number of layers of gypsum board, UL one-hour to four-hour

fi rewalls can be achieved. CENTRIA’s Firewall Systems are fi re resistant from

inside out and outside in.

Choose from a variety of profi les and achieve the level of UL fi re rating required.

Bechtel turned to CENTRIA to implement

an eco-friendly fi rewall plan for Louisville

Architectural EMI/RF ShieldingToday’s technology has caused an increase in electromagnetic interference

through cell phones, wireless LANs, microwave relay towers and other electronic

transmitting equipment. CENTRIA offers radio frequency shielding solutions to

meet any RF shielding requirements.

EMI/RF shielding is a way to limit the amount of electromagnetic interference

across the exterior wall and roof surface of a building by incorporating a properly

grounded conductive material barrier into the structure.

CENTRIA has worked with architects, engineers

and shielding consultants to perfect RFI shielding

in many of our metal wall and roof panel systems.

CENTRIA’s RFI shielding solutions can meet typical

requirements with minimal additional cost.

Device failures caused by interference—or “noise”—from electromagnetic energy are increasing due to the growing number of products that contain sensitive electronic components.

Coating SystemsCENTRIA’s comprehensive protective coatings systems are designed to meet the specifi c needs of

each power facility.

The Versacor® Ultra family of premium coatings provides enhanced protection against harsh climatic

or environmental conditions in a variety of colors. Versacor Ultra coatings are recommended for most

power facility projects.

These new high-build coatings have superior resistance against corrosion, humidity and abrasion when

compared to most thin fi lm architectural coatings available today. The 3-mil-thick [75 micron] Versacor

Ultra Barrier Coat is applied over the metal substrate and is available with PVDF or Urethane top coat

fi nishes. This permits fi nish selection that meets your specifi c project requirements.

Fluorofi nish® (PVDF) is a durable

polyvinylidene fl uoride coating

system containing 70% Kynar

500®/Hylar 5000® resins.

Duragard® coatings are premium

high build architectural fi nishes that

provide premium performance in

color retention and fade resistance.

Added protection is obtained with

our Duragard Plus coating that

includes an additional .8 mil

[20 micron] PVDF clear top coat.

Versacor® Ultra PF consists of a

3.0-mil-thick [75 micron] Versacor

Barrier Coat and a .8-mil-thick

[20 micron] PVDF top coat,

recommended for corrosive

architectural applications.

Versacor® Ultra TF and HF fi nishes

combine the corrosion resistance

of the 3.0-mil-thick [75 micron]

Versacor Barrier Coat with the

durability of a Urethane top

coat. Versacor TF uses a 1.5-mil

[38 micron] Urethane top coat and

Versacor HF uses a 3.0-mil-thick

[75 micron] top coat.
