The accel-E® Steel Thermal Efficient Panel (S.T.E.P.) is a thermally resistant, high performance building panel that's strong, light in weight and energy efficient. The panel exceeds the latest ASHRAE and IECC requirements.
Combining two time-tested materials – steel and EPS – uniquely fused together to provide superior strength and thermal performance, the accel-E® STEP wall system simplifies framing, cavity insulation and continuous rigid foam sheathing to one installation process. The result: savings through a reduction of on-site labor costs, shorter construction cycles, and greater energy efficiency.
The continuous insulation of the accel-E® STEP wall system can improve the effective R-Value of the building envelope by as much as 60% when compared to traditional cavity and continuous insulation over steel stud assemblies.
- Effective R-Value and U-Factor exceed ASHRAE 90.1 2007 and IECC 2009 Energy Code requirements for cavity plus continuous insulation in steel stud wall assemblies for all climate zones
- Fully complies with both the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) and the 2006 International Residential Code (IRC)
The accel-E® STEP wall system can shorten a project's construction cycle by as much as 66% when compared to standard wall construction.
- Framing, cavity insulation and continuous rigid foam sheathing installed in one installation process
- Reduced scheduling complexities for multiple crews
accel-E® STEP panels can significantly reduce both the amount and required skill level of on-site labor – saving as much as 50% over traditional methods.
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- Pre-punched openings for mechanicals
- No heavy equipment or special tools required
- Non-toxic and safe: No CFCs, HFCs or VOCs. Certified for Indoor Air Quality by the GREENGUARD® Environmental Institute
- Recyclable: Recycled content and is 100% recyclable
- Minimal Waste: Pre-cut window and door openings; pre-cut headers and jambs; no cutting of EPS to install mechanicals
- Mold and Moisture Resistant: Doesn't support mold growth; resists moisture absorption
