4 We offer an affordable and sustainable building system, for structures up to 30m in height. What sets apart is the unique, MetSIP external wall system. The MetSIP panel wraps buildings with a pre-insulated wall of unmatched structural and thermal efficiciency. By combining the unique benefits of MetSIP external walls, with an unrivalled know-how to design and deliver, complex Light Guage Steel (LGS) structures, offers a system which creates buildings that are both sustainable and affordable. affordable, high performance building technology 4

5 Why LGS? Why? The full potential of LGS as a structural building solution is yet to be realised. However, when combined with the benefits of MetSIP, we believe the market potential is enormous. With MIB Facades we understand: How to make Off-site work, on-site n We know what it takes to make a product manufactured off-site, work practically onsite - and we have a track record to back this up. Design is Key n We understand how to manage the design process - which is very different from traditional construction. This requires much more work up front, but is low cost/ high benefit. Solution to Thermal Bridging n The undoubted structural efficiency of LGS depends upon a cost effective and practical means of solving the issue of cold bridging. At the same time providing a means of attaching external cladding - without undue expense and waste. The MetSIP panel integrates structure, insulation and thermally isolated cladding support - in a single factory process. The System The powerful combination of affordable sustainability offered by derives from: Proven and Certified systems The system is based on a combination of systems and approaches that are proven and certified: SCI Assessed n MIB Facades has SCI Assessed status for use as a structural system in buildings of up to 30m in height (8 storeys). This is recognised by NHBC as the key standard for Light Guage Steel buildings. MetSIP - BBA Approved n The MetSIP external wall is BBA approved and based on manufacturing principles that have been proven in use for over 29 years. Well Proven LGS Principles n The internal load-bearing walls and floors are based on well proven Light Guage Steel framing principles, widely used and closely monitored since the early 1980 s.

6 The System Flat roof deck by MetSIP Structure, can include parapets, but overhangs by others. Can have set back penthouse type at top level. Flat types should broadly stack above transfer and below penthouse. MetSIP Party wall (twin) AND internal load-bearing walls must stack in middle section of building. Cantilevered balconies up to 1.5 x 4m with structural handrail. HRS transfer at first floor level 6

7 External Wall Load Bearing Walls Composite Deck Hot Rolled Steel The system forms the structural elements of a building and includes: External Walls n Pre-insulated and factory boarded. MetSIP MAX n Fully structural, for heavily loaded areas and designed on LGS principles. MetSIP LITE n For less loaded areas - typically the majority. Internal Load-bearing Walls n Based on conventional LGS principles. Flooring n Concrete floor Hot Rolled Steel n to form transfer structures. Support for cantilevered balconies, stair support etc. And with no worries of differential movement. Tel: +44 (0)

8 MetSIP External Wall System MetSIP Evolutionary Changes - Revolutionary Results In a single factory process, the MetSIP external wall panel combines: n The structural efficiency of LGS; n Injected insulation that minimises cold bridging; n Thermally isolated cladding support; n The composite action and robustness of factory fitted, sheathing boards. Synergy of LGS plus SIPS The MetSIP concept marries the established thermal and structural efficiency of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS), with the engineering certainty of steel. It is the introduction of LGS design principles that enables the system to meet the fire requirements of structures up to 30m in height. Composite Action The factory fitted insulation and sheathing boards, act compositely to enhance the structural performance of the walls. This in turn allows value engineering of the LGS elements. n MetSIP Lite - used in areas of modest loading, with the majority of structural performance coming via composite action - thus saving LGS. n MetSIP Max - used in heavily loaded external walls (typically in the minority), where the full benefits of LGS are used to create the loadbearing structure. use their knowledge of LGS structures to put the right product where it is needed. Our aim is maximum performance for minimum material/cost. 8

9 Cladding Support The system incorporates thermally isolated, discrete structural packers. n Wall Ties - there is no requirement for expensive wall tie channel systems, as the wall ties can be attached directly to the sheathing board, or for additional strength into the structural packers. n Cladding Rails - these can be connected into the internal studs, providing a solid fixing, with minimal thermal bridging. The factory fitted external sheathing board, in conjunction with the structural packers, make it simple to incorporate a wide range of external finishes. Services The running of services in external walls is made easy by the creation of a service cavity, created using OSB battens. Tel: +44 (0)

10 The MetSIP Panel Excellent Thermal Performance MetSIP is ideal for creating building envelopes with a high level of thermal performance. Low U-values n 0.19W/m 2 K with standard masonry wall. n Reduced to 0.16W/m 2 K with use of additional silver foils (which also greatly assist air-tightness). n And lower than 0.15W/m 2 K if used with insulated render systems. Excellent Air-Tightness n The panel on it s own, measured through the vertical joint achieves an airtightness of 0.8m 3 /m 2 hr. n But air tightness is all down to detailing. When used in conjuction with silver foil values of <2m 3 /m 2 hr are achievable (subject to detailing). Low Thermal Bridging n New Building Regulations set tough standards as regards Thermal Bridging. n MetSIP has been designed to make it much easier to achieve low Psi and Y values. 10

11 Benefits on Site n Safer - fewer people on site. n Lower Costs - fewer processes and interfaces to manage. n Faster to weather-tight - faster programmes, saving time and money. n Low waste. n Fewer deliveries - less disruption and easier to manage. n External finish off critical path - plus, easy to fit wall ties/cladding. n Easier for following trades - services are easy to run. Benefits in Use n Better Quality - more done off-site. n Excellent Thermal Performance - low U, Psi and Y values, plus potential for excellent air-tightness. n Normal wall thickness - super efficient structural and thermal solution - without castle-thick walls. n Lower energy bills - an ongoing benefit for the user.
