Structural Insulated Panels
Galvanized Steel Skins
The top and bottom metal skins of the
structural insulated panel are 26 gauge steel conforming to ASTM specifications. Galvanized metal is continuously roll formed in a patented continuous process whereby the vertical S-shaped structural stiffeners are released and attached to the top and bottom skins giving the panel it's extraordinary strength and durability.
Class-1 Urethane
The insulating core of the
is
ACTech®SIP Class-1 urethane injected as a liquid between the metal skins after integration with the structural stiffeners. The urethane is modified by a fire-retardant additive before being foamed, baked and adhered into place to create a hermetically sealed composite panel of consistent thickness.
Energy Efficient Construction Process
The R-value, or measure of resistance to heat loss through conduction, is a permanent, true R-24, for a three-inch-thick panel which ensures a 40 to 50 percent output reduction for heating and cooling devices and often more. Because the structural insulated panel has a solid hermetic foam core, it exceeds the comparable R-value of traditional construction materials without air or vapor barriers.
Rigid Strength...Light Weight
A
structural insulated panel with a two foot covering weighs less than lumber at only three pounds per square foot.
Durability and Resistance
ACTech
®Panels resist decay, fungus, moisture, and mildew. The Class-1 Urethane also acts as a deterrent to termites.
Environmental Certification
The urethane core is made of the very same material used in travel mugs and picnic coolers. It contains no CFCs or formaldehyde eliminating the risk of respiratory or skin irritation.
Steel Stiffeners and the Interlocking System
Combine for Super Structural Strength. Both materials have enough recycled content to qualify them as environmentally friendly under the Environmental Protection Agency and California Recycled Waste Content guidelines.
Design Features
- Embossed galvanized steel skins are prime coated allowing for the application of virtually any interior or exterior finish.
- The interlocking construction system practically eliminates air and water infiltration
- Urethane foam is chemically bonded to the galvanized steel skins preventing condensation and providing superior insulation
- The S-shaped steel stiffener is the unique element that gives the panel it's super structural strength and spanning capabilities
- All structural insulated panels for a given job are delivered to the site sized to a user-specified cut list
