Our Product - LeepCore™ Steel SIP
LeepCore™ high performance structural insulated panels (SIPs) are truly revolutionary load-bearing, insulated, framed or frameless construction panels that can construct freestanding walls, floors, and roofs of residential and commercial buildings. LeepCore is lightweight, yet strong enough to exceed the most stringent building codes.
The LeepCore panel forms custom panel sections, which in turn form walls, roofs and floors. This modular approach optionally integrates the LeepCore panel into all facets of a completed building, utilizing the LeepCore structural, energy saving, and cost effective Building Panel System. Panels, assembled sections, or entire building kits may be ordered from the factory precut to the millimeter.
Architectural and engineering guides are available. Please contact your LEEP sales representative or jnordstrom@leepinc.com for details.
21st century construction demands technology which:
- Conserves Energy: LeepCore is among the most energy efficient construction components available. A LeepCore building saves 40% or more on heating/cooling costs and the associated precious energy and fossil fuels.
- Preserves the Environment: Reduced fuel consumption means fewer greenhouse gases. LeepCore uses no increasingly scarce lumber from shrinking forests. LeepCore contains no CFCs or formaldehyde, which could harm the atmosphere of your home and the planet.
- Safeguards your Family: LeepCore buildings are resistant to earthquake and class 5 hurricanes, to fire, to water damage (rot, mold, and mildew), and to termites, rodents and other pests, keeping your family safer from the forces of Mother Nature and her creatures. LeepCore releases no compounds or allergens associated with “sick” buildings.
- Is Affordable: LeepCore panels are price competitive with other building materials, but erect much faster, substantially reducing construction costs. The LeepCore components of a building can remain nearly maintenance free almost indefinitely, saving dramatically on upkeep over time. In addition, the reduced energy for heating/cooling means lower upfront costs on equipment, and most importantly, continued long-term savings on energy, which of late is becoming more and more critical.
Patented LeepCore high performance structural panels are formed from class 1 polyurethane insulating foam sandwiched between structurally-shaped steel sheets. Each panel can withstand compression, tensile and shear forces hundreds of times its own weight. Optionally requiring no wood, steel or concrete frames, LeepCore buildings are a virtual thermos, maintaining indoor climates while keeping the elements and noise out.
