Doing some research to locate a mineral wool insulated metal panel. Has anyone used one before? Could you share the manufacturer?  
Thanks!

I like the Mapes panel system but usually get push-back because of the cost. There are lots of concerns about using a laminated panel. Mapes has a hard substrate behind the metal face to prevent oil canning and delamination. It may cut into your R-value, but it’s worth it IMHO.

UL design #050, 1, 2 or 3 hour rated. specified the product but the project got axed due to the economy so no more info.
