Mapes Panels, your UNRIVALED infill panel manufacturer, is NOW OFFERING Insulated Back Pans and Shadow Box Panels. 

Back Pans are often synonymous with Shadow Box Panels and Interior Closure Panels. Although these products are very similar in design and location, their intent is often very different. Here is a basic breakdown of how these products are used.

  • Back Pans: These are typically made of steel and used to seal off the interior side of curtainwall openings in Floor-to-Wall Perimeter Fire-Stopping assemblies.
  • Shadow Box Panels: Typically used as a design element of the building, Shadow Box Panels are a finished product, typically made of aluminum, that is viewed from the exterior, behind vision glass.
  • Interior Closure Panels: These are typically used as a design element to close off the interior side of an opening.

Mapes offers customizable solutions for all of these product types, including combination options. Custom profiles can be made for unique conditions and can integrate into most UL & Intertek-approved Fire-stopping systems. They can be provided with or without insulation and are available in custom-finished or unfinished options. 

Mapes Back Pans come pre-assembled, ready for quick installation. Not only do Mapes Insulated Back Pans reduce labor and time on-site, but they will also streamline how your spandrel products are sourced. Project managers appreciate the ease of ordering Mapes Infill panels, Back Pans, Shadow Box Panels and Interior Closure Panels on the same PO and getting them delivered together.
