Insulated foam panels can yield as much as 30% reduction in a buildings energy use

One of the biggest sources of a buildings heat loss (or heat gain) is due to air leakage. Foam filled panels have been rigorously tested to ensure that they remain both air and weather tight over the life of the building. Designed for fast track construction these panels are a complete, finished panel with many exterior options to choose from. Exterior finishes include embossed, smooth and textured.

Roof panels are offered in high rib, standing seam and solar with thickness options of 1.5”, 2”, 2.5”, 3”, 4”, 5” and 6”.

High R Values –Steel panels insulated with a foam core and a steel interior panel offer a superior thermal performance with R Values up to R-48. These panels isolate the outer steel panel from the interior steel frame eliminating thermal transfer. This foam panel provides an unbroken thermal shield against energy – heat transfer. Panel finishes are available with a high performance sustainable roof and wall finishes satisfying architectural sensitive design boards including a pre-applied acrylic aggregate stucco finish factory applied over primed steel panels.

Environmental Sustainability of Steel Insulated Panels

Steel Insulated Panels Contribute to LEED Energy Certification Programs
& the path to Net-Zero Energy Targets!

Steel insulated wall panels and roof panels provide continuous, rigid insulation with High R-values and superior air tightness performance. This improves energy efficiency while ensuring a comfortable, stable interior environment. The steel insulated panels’ exterior materials contain a sustainable amount of recycled steel content and the panels themselves are reusable/recyclable. The recycled low weight materials are made with recaptured metals and are light to ship, reducing transport and installation energy.

Steel insulated panels last as long as the service life of a typical commercial steel building. The durable panels reduce operational costs for energy and maintenance, and offer multiple end-of-life reuse options.

Insulating Puts Green Back in Your Pocket

You’re probably aware that upgrading your metal building’s insulation provides many energy-saving benefits, but the savings don’t end there. What you might not know is that the federal government offers a tax deduction for individuals who take proactive steps toward making their commercial buildings more energy efficient.

Thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, metal building owners of both new and existing structures who install energy efficient measures may qualify for a one time tax deduction for these expenses. Eligible energy-saving improvements include new energy-reducing lighting systems, new windows, doors or high quality insulation. Deductions can be as much as $1.80 per square foot for a comprehensive retrofit project, or up to $0.60 per square foot for partial energy upgrades.1

“…some customers reported a

50% savings

in energy costs…”

When compared to initial installation costs – 6” R-19 fiberglass insulation can run as low as $0.50 per square foot – the reasons to improve your insulation now completely outweigh any reasons to wait. Low initial installation expenses, combined with tax benefits and the immediate reductions you’ll see in your energy bills – some customers reported a 50% savings in energy costs – make reinsulating the easiest business decision you could ever make.

For official guidelines surrounding the federal tax deduction, including eligible properties, minimum energy requirements and the steps you must take prior to claiming your deduction, please visit http://www.irs.gov/irb/2006-26_IRB/ar11.html.

By making an investment in energy efficiency, you’re not only reducing your overall operating costs, you’re also keeping some of your hard-earned dollars out of Uncle Sam’s pockets.
