September 12, 2007—The new accel-E wall panel system replaces traditional framing, insulation and sheathing components with a single, easily installed system, according to its developer, Accelerated Building Technologies, LLC, a company formed by two leading construction product manufacturers, Dietrich Metal Framing and NOVA Chemicals.
Using a proprietary production technology, the steel framing components and expandable polystyrene (EPS) are fused together to create energy efficient and strong structural insulating panels. The resulting accel-E wall panel system offers many benefits to building contractors and building owners alike, said Andy Claypole, president of Accelerated Building Technologies.
Since the panels are designed specifically to each project’s specifications, on-site waste and disposal costs are also cut dramatically, he said.
Accel-E panels are environmentally friendly, energy efficient, sustainable and recyclable, Claypole added.
Accel-E panels are fabricated in a variety of thicknesses, ranging from 5 1/2 to 8 inches, depending on individual project requirements. Panels can be any height up to 48 feet. Window and door openings are precut for quick on-site installation.
