APPLICATIONS
Pre-Insulated Steel framing
Consider Kwik-Build Panels an important resource wherever performance-driven structural components, speed and ease of construction, superior insulation, fire resistance, high acoustical values, air barrier or moisture resistance are important. Regardless of project type — residential, commercial, light industrial or public works – Kwik Build Panels may be used as structural exterior walls, roofs or floors in low-rise residential or commercial structures, up to four stories. They may also be used as exterior cladding for high-rise buildings.
The panels can be adapted to construct most floor plans and designs. More specific applications include:
- Superior acoustics - Noise control in high-density housing, nursing home facilities, attorney or medical offices.
- Reduced sound transmission between suites and fire-rated corridors in hospitality industry.
- Structures encumbered by increased traffic/street/airport noise.
- Machine shops or animal kennels where sound mitigation is important for the benefit of surrounding community.
- Home theaters and recording studios.
- Floors. Where reduced sound control between floors is needed – such as multi-family or commercial project dictates.
- Energy efficient roofs.
- Demising walls that require high thermal and acoustic properties
- Sound dampening along highways.
- Shopping centers.
- Educational and Religious facilities.
- Military – Federal government has utilized panels for military housing.
- High humidity conditions where stick framing typically rots and/or is subject to termite infestations.
- LEED projects (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – See sustainability page for specific credits.
