PRE-INSULATED STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING

Don’t Miss a Powerful Way to:

• Minimize Building Costs

• Avoid Budget Overruns

• Missed Deadlines

• Limit Risk

Welcome to Kwik-Build Panels, a hybrid steel-framed, pre-insulated panelized building system that encloses buildings in a fraction the time than required by traditional construction methods. Pre-fabricated off-site to clients’ architectural and engineering specifications, panels are quickly erected on-site with minimal labor requirements. Highly energy efficient, panels may be used in commercial and residential applications for exterior walls, ceilings, roofs and floors.

Key Advantages:

• Provides a weather resistive barrier for high performance building envelopes.
• Heavy equipment or highly skilled specialty trades not required for wall assembly.
• Load bearing and shear capacity 4 ½ times that of conventional wood framing.
• Resistant to mold, mildew, termites, rot and rust.
• Superior acoustic and thermal efficiency enhanced by a complete thermal break.
• Costly renewable energy options are typically reduced, or possibly eliminated.
• Provide resilience to natural disasters that can help stem property losses.
• Contribute credits to USGBC’s LEED® rating system. (US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design).
• Provides an airtight building shell for Net Zero Energy and Passive House standards.
• Crucial in meeting the stringent demands of California’s 2013 Title 24, effective July 1, 2014.

Kwik-Build Panels capitalize on the insulating properties of closed-cell, expanded polystyrene (EPS) bonded to galvanized steel frames, uniquely designed to eliminate thermal bridging. Unlike conventional wood SIPS, in which flammable, water permeable wood fiberboard (OSB) provides strength, cold-formed steel is the element that gives Kwik-Build Panels their structural integrity.
