Overview & Benefits of the Acsys Panelized Building System
- The Acsys Panelized Building System is a highly energy efficient, patented structural insulated panel system that combines the strength of steel with the insulating performance of expanded polystyrene.
- The system offers superior energy performance and rapid construction substantially cutting capital, energy, and labor costs.
- The ability to "dial-in" structural and thermal performance and the elimination of cavity walls answers many of today's concerns about energy, recycled materials, wood products and mold.
- Pre-insulated structural steel core panels are easily installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended procedures and erection drawings.
Construction Benefits
- An Acsys wall goes up so much faster than traditional construction.
- The Acsys solid wall design eliminates multiple trades and materials, saving time and money.
- The Acsys system is a series of connected panels that install rapidly—by a small, trained crew using minimal equipment—to quickly enclose a building.
- Made with a solid galvanized 20-gauge steel core embedded in EPS insulation
- Panel heights up to 18-feet (stackable for greater heights)
- Solid, non-cavity construction in 6", 8", 10" or 12" thicknesses
- The lightweight panels easily fit into an 18-gauge steel base track
Benefits for Home & Building Owners
Beyond the time and cost savings during the construction process, the Acsys Panelized Building System will provide years of superior performance benefits such as:
- Energy savings thanks to superior insulating properties
- Superior mold resistance provided by the non-cavity Acsys panels
- Quieter interiors thanks to the system’s enhanced acoustic performance
- Sustainability from the use of fewer natural resources in construction, less job site waste, and reduced energy consumption over the life of the building
- Confidence of compliance with building codes
Installation
The Acsys system requires fewer steps, simplifying virtually every aspect of installation:
- No need to coordinate multiple trades
- Trained crews of just four workers can install more than 750 square feet per hour, depending on the project's complexity
- Buildings are "weathered in" faster, allowing shorter construction schedules
- On-Site installation training and Installer Certification courses provided
Exterior & Interior Finish Flexibility
Exterior Flexibility
- An array of finish colors and textures are possible with acrylic coatings or other exterior finishes such as brick veneer, stone, siding and more
- When used with acrylic surfacing systems, Acsys panels are not EIFS construction, so you’re free to use virtually any finish system available on the market.
- Acrylics such as Senergy can be applied directly to the system
- No matter how you choose to finish your Acsys building, you can count on superior
performance from the solid panel construction:
- Independently tested for structural, fire and vapor transmission and sound transmission characteristics, and ICC certified
- Acsys assemblies have successfully passed U.L. 263/ASTM E 119 Fire Tests of Building Construction Materials for 1- and 2-hour durations
Interior Finishes
- Create pleasing and quiet interiors through the application of standard approved thermal barriers like gypsum wallboard
- Clearly marked lines indicate the proper position for fastener placement, allowing the installer to quickly and easily apply the interior wall finishes
- Electrical openings can be easily located in the system using a foam cutter or hot knife
Ongoing Benefits
- Energy savings thanks to superior insulating properties
- Superior mold resistance provided by the noncavity design
- Quieter interiors thanks to the system’s enhanced acoustic performance
- Sustainability from the use of fewer natural resources in construction and reduced energy consumption over the life of the building
- Confidence of compliance with building codes
