All Weather Insulated Panel’s OneDek system provides the innovation needed to address the industry’s challenges. 

According to Gary Sweeney, the director of low slope roofing for All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP), the commercial roofing industry can sometimes be slow to adapt to new innovations. “The commercial roofing industry is very old school,” Gary told Megan Ellsworth in a recent episode of MetalCast™. “There's a bit of stubbornness to adopt new methodologies.” 

That’s where AWIP comes in. As a highly technical innovator in design for the construction industry, AWIP focuses on the advancement of utilizing foam composite materials in insulated metal panels. With three state-of-the-art facilities in Vacaville, California; Little Rock, Arkansas; and East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, AWIP is strategically positioned to meet energy, environmental and economic challenges that face the North American building industry.  

With 10 years in the traditional built-up roofing space, Gary describes himself as “painfully aware” of the issues that contractors face, from lengthy installation times to a lack of skilled labor. “No one has really been able to crack the code on the installation innovation, and that's exactly what AWIP has done with OneDek®,” Gary explained.  

OneDek® is an insulated panel made with AWIP’s InnovaCELL™ technology engineered to streamline installations. With a vapor barrier, insulation and cover board all encapsulated into a single component, OneDek requires fewer materials and steps than traditional systems that typically take five to six steps to complete.  

“You screw down the OneDek into the joists, skin it with a TPO or a PVC membrane, mechanically attach, fully adhere and you're done,” Gary explained. “A OneDek system can be installed in the third of the time that it takes to install a traditional system. It's all about speed and simplicity.” 

For contractors with limited time, resources and labor to complete jobs on schedule, OneDek offers a ready fix. “OneDek is the solution to the issues that commercial roofing presents,” Gary stated. “It's not an alternative; it’s the evolution of roofing.”

At IRE, AWIP showcases innovative building solutions and purposeful partnerships. 

All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP) is bringing engineering-driven innovation to the forefront of commercial construction, and that was on full display at the 2026 International Roofing Expo in Las Vegas. Charles Schafer, AWIP’s Eastern region sales manager, shared how insulated metal panels are reshaping building performance, timelines and partnerships. 

With more than 20 years in the construction industry and a background in engineering, Charles brings a technical lens to customer conversations. “I’m an engineer by education, and I’ve handled products and marketing, sustainability — a lot of different roles throughout my career with AWIP,” he said. “In a sense, I’m an engineer that likes to communicate.” 

Charles explained the AWIP’s core offerings: insulated metal panels designed as a single-step building envelope solution. “We sell insulated metal panels, which are two roll form skins that come together, and there’s a chemical reaction that fills the core of the panels,” Charles illustrated. “Our panels are a single-step all-in-one panel that goes from the structure out and handles your air, vapor, wind and water barrier and thermal barrier.” 

This streamlined approach is gaining traction as contractors address labor shortages and increased competition. “Instead of up to seven steps for a traditional buildout, it’s a single step, single pass on the building,” he explained. “In today’s world where you have scarcity of labor and aggressive timelines, we’re seeing a significant increase in the usage of our product.” 

At IRE, AWIP showcased its technology through an interactive, two-story booth experience, complete with a VR headset that enabled participants to “walk through” buildings and designs utilizing AWIP products. On display was AWIP’s latest foam system, InnovaCell™. “It’s an industry-leading R value, closed-cell foam that handles your vapor, wind, water and thermal barrier. It’s an all-encompassing system,” Charles shared. “Our DM40-F+ panel can give you an R64 with a one-hour UL fire rating, which is first of its kind.” 

Beyond AWIP’s innovative products, Charles emphasized collaboration. “At AWIP, we’re really about partnership and helping find solutions for the built environment,” Charles said. “We like to innovate and we like to partner.”

All Weather Insulated Panels highlights speed, simplicity and structural benefits at IRE 2026. 

At the 2026 International Roofing Expo, All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP) made a statement with a two-story booth showcasing its engineered roofing system, OneDek®. Lauren White of The Coffee Shops™ had the opportunity to explore the impressive booth and chat with Gary Sweeney, AWIP’s director of low slope roofing, about how OneDek provides a solution for long-standing industry challenges.  

“OneDek is an insulated metal panel, but it’s an engineered roofing system. I refer to it as the evolution of traditional roofing,” Gary shared. With 10 years in the traditional roofing space, Gary has seen firsthand the issues the industry has faced. “The issues that have plagued the industry for 10 years are the same issues that plague it today. There's a lack of innovation, extended installation times and lack of skilled labor.” 

OneDek is a solution that addresses these issues, consolidating the elements of traditional roofing into a simplified package. “A traditional roofing system consists of a B deck, a vapor barrier, insulation, coverboard and then a membrane,” Gary explained. “OneDek is a multi-layer system that's condensed down into a single tongue-and-groove product. So, we're taking a five-step installation and shortening it down to a two-step process.”  

AWIP’s focus on speed and simplicity makes jobs easier for contractors, especially during a labor shortage. “Speed is becoming the most important aspect of commercial roofing,” Gary stated. “If you're going to put down a roof in 120 hours with a five-person crew, we're probably looking at 40 hours here, about a third of the time it would take for traditional roofing systems. So, it's massive labor savings with a smaller crew.” 

Beyond speed, Gary highlighted the structural rigidity and energy efficiency that the system achieves by incorporating AWIP’s InnovaCELL™ technology. “We’re standing on it right now. It’s a metal steel design; it’s very rigid. Traditional roofing components don't provide structural integrity,” Gary said, taking Lauren upstairs and onto the OneDek demo. “From an insulation standpoint, it provides the highest R value, unrivaled by any other manufacturer.” 

The view from the AWIP second-story booth showed a promising future. As building owners become more engaged in long-term performance and energy efficiency, Gary is confident that OneDek provides the perfect solution.

At the core of AWIP’s operations is a customer-first outlook and a belief that all decisions start with ensuring customer satisfaction.  

All Weather Insulated Panel (AWIP) might be known for their high-performance metal panel products that offer both durability and insulation to the structures they are installed on, but their efforts go far beyond just the finished products they make. To learn more about the company behind the products, we sat down with Greg Lusty, AWIP’s president, for a short interview.  

AWIP’s story starts back in 2006, doing what they do today – manufacturing insulated panels for roofs, walls and other construction applications. As their products started to gain traction in the construction world, the company grew. Today, the brand now utilizes three facilities. 

How did they gain that initial traction needed to kickstart their growth? By providing more than just products, but support for the people they serve. Greg explained, “We truly operate in a customer-first manner. Our decision-making process and then beyond that it's about, it's all about people. The products are great, don’t get me wrong, but everyone has products, not everyone cares for customers the way we do.”  

What does this care look like in action? AWIP has prioritized providing specialized support for their contractors and customers. Greg shared, “We have teams that are dedicated to helping our customers. We have strategic/national accounts and/or business/architectural consultants who are there to help with everything from architectural design services, engineering and drafting to estimating, project management and more.”
