The ThermaSteel Advantage

One panel.
Four jobs done at once.

With more than 50 years of worldwide experience, we're the world leader in panelized building methods — a complete envelope of structure, insulation, and sheathing in a single panel.

Energy Efficient

01

An effective R-value of up to R-61 with no thermal bridging cuts heating and cooling costs by 75% or more versus traditional construction — and is well suited to Net-Zero and Passive House designs.

Construction Efficiency

02

4-in-1 lightweight, true load-bearing panels cut framing time by 50% — real labor and equipment savings. Every project ships pre-cut, diagrammed, and labeled for quick assembly.

Sustainable & Safe

03

A 425-year life expectancy. Our panels don't off-gas, resist mold and mildew, are fire resistant with low smoke and flame spread, are 100% recyclable, and are produced from recycled materials in a zero-waste facility.

Unlimited Possibilities

04

No manufacturing limits. From simple sheds to custom homes, hotels to mid-rise buildings — packages for exterior, interior, and below-grade walls, floors, and roofs, including curved walls and openings.

How the system works

What is a Steel Structural Insulated Panel?

A high-performance building panel: a rigid foam core bonded between two structural steel facings. The result is a 4-in-1 load-bearing wall, floor, or roof — insulation and strength in one piece, delivered pre-cut and labeled for your crew.

Frequently asked questions

We're here to help.

What are Steel Structural Insulated Panels?+

Steel Structural Insulated Panels — SSIPs — are high-performance building panels that consist of a foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, offering superior insulation and strength.

Can SSIPs be used for all types of buildings?+

Yes. Our SSIPs are versatile and can be used in tiny homes, ADUs, residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. If you can dream it, we can build it.

How do ThermaSteel SSIPs compare to traditional wood framing?+

ThermaSteel SSIPs provide better insulation — up to R-61 — faster installation, and long-term durability compared to traditional wood framing. Steel is non-combustible and stands up to fire, seismic activity, high wind and more.

What is the delivery timeframe for orders?+

Every project is custom and different. Once we step into production — the third step in the process — panel production runs 6–10 weeks on average from the date of order confirmation, depending on project size.
