  • Publication number: 20260160085
    Abstract: An offset bracket has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to couple to an insulated metal panel (IMP) and the second portion is configured to couple to a structural member. A method of removing and replacing an IMP comprises cutting the fasteners of the respective IMPs, pushing the panels outwardly from the building to remove them, coupling one or more offset brackets to the IMPs via a bolt or other fastener that passes through a front portion and a rear portion of the IMP, inserting the IMPs into the gap in the wall, ensuring the IMPs lap with the prior panels to thereby conceal the fasteners, holding the IMPs in place while the offset brackets are secured to the building structure using bolts, screws, or other fasteners, and then tightening the bolt from the IMP to the bracket to ensure a secure coupling.
