SPECIFICATIONS

DESCRIPTION:

Snap-N-Lock Insulated Panels are pressure laminated composites of baked, polyester-coated steel or aluminum coil sheets that have been roll formed to produce a patented locking system, and computer cut and routed expanded polystyrene foam. These elements are vacuum sealed and laminated under pressure utilizing the latest technology, with a waterproof adhesive that has the highest ICBO approved rating. The panel has both structural and insulative properties.

Panels shall be 2" to 8" in overall thickness with an E.P.S. foam core density of 1 lb./cubic foot, supplied by the manufacturer or an approved distributor in widths of 23-1/8" (alumi-num) and 48" (aluminum or steel) and lengths up to 40'. Roof pitches as little as 1/4" per 2' can be achieved.

*R- value means the resistance to beat flow. The higher the R-Value, the greater the resistance to beat flow.

MATERIALS:

Panels shall be custom laminated from:

.024 Aluminum Coil 3105-H-254 Stucco Embossed

.024 Aluminum Coil 3105-H-254 Cedar Woodgrain Embossed

030 Aluminum Coil 3105-H-254 Stucco Embossed

26 gauge Galvanized Steel Coated Stucco Embossed ASTM-A527

26 gauge Galvanized Steel Coated Smooth ASTM-A527

Samples will be submitted upon request.

FINISHES:

Panels can be customized with a variety of substrates.

Finishing materials, like shingles and stucco, can be applied directly to the skins in the field. They provide additional protection from the elements, but are essentially aesthetic embellishment.

PANEL TESTING:

Dimensional inspections are performed in the shop to ensure that length, width, squareness and thickness are within specified tolerances. Further shop testing is done to make sure that the fin-ish, alignment and lamination meets applicable standards.

The panels are also put through extensive and rigid testing to ensure they continue to meet or exceed building code requirements for wind, live and dead loads. The SIP panel is capable of supporting 57 lbs. live load per sq. ft. combined with various wind loadings up to 150 m.p.h.

Fire testing of the SIP Insulated Panel - Aluminum

Clad was performed in accordance with the UL Standard "Fire Test of Interior Finish Material, UL 1715" (UBC 17-5) using the ASTM

E84-91a Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (ANSI 2.5, NFPA 255). Tests resulted in a flame spread index of 5, and a smoke developed index of 170.

Additional fire tests administered to the panel include ASTM-1929, ASTM-119 and ASTM-E84-95. In all these tests the panel exceeded industry standards. Results are available upon request. It is also important to note that the solid core construction of the structural insulated panel eliminates the "chimney effect" that causes fires to spread quickly through stick built walls.

Acoustical testing on the panel's expanded polystyrene foam core has been done in accordance with ASTM E90-61T. The transmission of sound for eps was an STC of 51. A brick wall has an STC of 34 and block an STC of 38 according to ASTM E90-61T data. The higher the STC rating, the better the capability of the construction material to block sound transmissions.We recommends that the interior walls be constructed of steel studs with a drywall exterior finish. This method of construction has a STC of 36, similar to brick.

SIP . warrants to the Purchaser that Structall's Metal Panel products will not delaminate as a result of a defect in materials or workmanship for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase. In the event of a valid claim, We will provide replacement panels.

EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES:

This warranty does not cover damage by willful abuse, normal weathering, negligence or failure to provide normal maintenance and cleaning, exposure to industrial pollution, salt spray or chemical atmosphere, damage by physical abuse, abrasion, impact or other force, or an act of nature, such as fire, lightning, windstorms, hailstorms or causes beyond our control.

This warranty does not cover use of the product in applications beyond the design limits as spelled out in the our engineering publications. Installation not in strict compliance with our installation instructions shall also void the warranty.

Both steel and aluminum clad panels are subject to corrosion and are specifically not covered beyond any warranty provided by the coil manufacturer. We recommends a light pressure wash every year for the underside of any panel roof or panel wall section exposed to, or near by, a salt water environment or a swimming pool or spa where chlorine is used.

This warranty does not cover infestation by insects, rodents or other pests. As with any type of construction, an appropriate pest control program should be instituted and maintained.

LIMITATION OF REMEDIES:

The Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy for a valid claim against this warranty shall be for the replacement, without charge to the purchaser, of the our panels pursuant to the terms of the warranty. The obligation of our , Inc. to replace the defective products shall not include the removal, dis-mantling, or reinstallation of any such products. Furthermore, the Purchaser agrees that no other remedy other than that prescribed above shall be available to the Purchaser or other aligned parties making a claim.
