Panel Specifications
|
Galvanized Steel Skins The top and bottom metal skins of the 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 panel is 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.
Rigid Strength...Light Weight S-shaped Stiffeners of 20 gauge steel and the Interlocking System combine for super structural strength. Yet, a panel with a two foot covering weighs less than lumber at only three pounds per square foot.
Durability and Resistance These panels resist decay, fungus, moisture, and mildew. 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 Class-1 Urethane also acts as a deterrent to termites ensuring structural longevity.
Reduced Energy Consumption 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. Because the panel has a solid hermetic foam core, it exceeds the comparable R-value of traditional construction materials without air or vapor barriers.
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.

Design Features
|
GPT V1 - Steel Skin Structural Insulated Panels are manufactured in a continuous process on a highly advanced assembly line. Unlike traditional batch processing, the continuous process allows for a lower unit cost, and mass production. Computerized with a sophisticated central control unit, the line can be completely automatic, semi-automatic, or manually controlled.
