Commercial Steel Structural Insulated Panels
Hybrid Steel SIP Panels
Hybrid Steel Framing is offering superior steel structural insulated panel assemblies for commercial buildings.
Hybrid Steel Framing acts as the project’s systems integrator coordinating all efforts between the project’s general contractor, architect/engineer of record and our appropriate team member's technical and design departments.
Our structural and acoustical engineers will coordinate closely with the commercial project’s engineers and architects in order to fabricate the most efficient and cost effective solution for each individual project .
Complete turnkey professional installation services are also included.
A cost-effective and superior alternative to conventional framing, sheathing and insulation. The Hybrid Steel structural insulated panel consolidates all structural framing, insulation, sheathing as well as all fire and acoustical ratings as per the project's specifications – all in one step and from one contractor.
The Hybrid Steel structural insulated panel is designed to be a superior but economical solution to the following commercial applications:
- Insulated load bearing exterior wall panels
- Insulated non-load bearing curtain and party wall panels
- Demising interior wall panels
- Non-insulated interior wall panels
- Insulated roof and ceiling panels
Hybrid Steel Structural Insulated Panel Configuration
The unique through-wall structural framing approach, with thermal studs, allows any engineering firm to design without proprietary knowledge. Safety factors can be reduced resulting in less steel requirements and lower construction cost. The major advantage to this approach is to provide additional structural protection where other systems stop.
Unlike most alternative systems, the Hybrid Steel structural insulated panel frame has dual structural resistant technology. Structural modified EPS foam is injected into a structural panel, encasing the thermal studs. The result is a superior Hybrid Steel framing building system that, when exposed to fire, wind, and seismic forces, will stand fast as most systems fail. The structural stud reinforcement of the Hybrid Steel SIP frame increases the overall performance of the panel well beyond the competition.
An engineer only needs to design a metal stud framed building with the appropriate gauge, size, and spacing. The Hybrid Steel structural insulated panel will then be fabricated to the exact engineering specifications of the project.
One of the most impressive advantages of the Hybrid Steel SIP panel is the unparalleled thermal efficiency of the proprietory steel stud. The Hybrid Steel stud transfers much less heat to the interior wall side compared to the conventional "C" stud. The large web openings reduce the path for heat transfer across the stud. Heat flow is confined to the slender ribs that cross the web. Encased in structural foam, the thermal and structural performance of through-wall metal stud framing is unmatched. This virtually eliminates thermal bridging that is common in other wood and steel framing.
Continuous Insulation - The complete integration of the superior steel stud framing and the EPS closed cell foam completes the continuous insulation process. The closed cell EPS foam prohibits air and moisture infiltration and eliminates the possibility of condensation forming within the wall cavity.
The Hybrid Steel stud also delivers a higher sound transmission coefficient (STC) rating due to the acoustic superiority of the profile.
Fire rated and high STC and IIC rated assemblies are available for all of the hybrid floor, wall and roof systems.
The Hybrid Steel structural insulated panel is considered a Green building material and is a LEED points contributor.
