What is the the ThermaSteel Green Building System?

ThermaSteel Corporation is the first name and leading innovator of the “Build Green� Pre-insulated Light Gauge Steel Framing, utilizing galvanized steel and modified expanded polystyrene (EPS), both of which are 100% recyclable. ThermaSteel performance driven structural components have passed tests conducted by the Florida Hurricane Test Lab. ThermaSteel complies with the Department of Energy’s Model Energy Code, and are Energy Star Compliant. ThermaSteel is listed with the new International Code Counsel (ICC).

The ThermaSteel Green Building System is a unique patented process utilizing the power of composite technology. A structural grade, opposing double steel framing members (G-90 galvanized, 24, 20, or 18 gauge) with rigid, fire retardant Modified Expanded Polystyrene Resin (EPS) bonded to the steel frames, forms a thermally broken, light weight (48-50 lb. for 5 1/2� thick x 4’0� wide x 8’-0� high) composite building component that provides structural framing, insulation, sheathing, and a vapor barrier in one, fast, high-tech step.

ThermaSteel Green components may be used for exterior and interior walls, partitions, floors, ceilings, and roofs for residential, commercial and industrial applications as well as infill or curtain walls for high-rise construction. Combinations of pre-insulated components are screwed together to form a unique high performance energy shell that is fast, lightweight and extremely strong with superior thermal properties. Rough openings for doors and windows are formed during the manufacturing process. The system can be adapted to construct most floor plans or designs.

The ThermaSteel Green system has been approved for use in all climatic regions and seismic Zone 9 in Russia. There are projects in almost every state, including senior housing, condominiums, hotels (see above), and in many other countries around the world. The ThermaSteel Green System is being used in every facet of construction.
