MIB MetSIP External Wall System

In a single factory process, the MIB MetSIP external wall panel combines:

• the structural efficiency of LGS;
• injected insulation that minimises cold bridging;
• thermally isolated cladding support;
• the composite action and robustness of factory fitted sheathing boards.

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.

MIB MetSIP LITE

used in areas of modest loading, with the majority of structural performance coming via composite action — thus saving LGS.

MIB MetSIP MAX

used in heavily loaded external walls (typically in the minority), where the full benefits of LGS are used to create the load-bearing structure.

MIB FrameSpace uses its knowledge of LGS structures to put the right product where it is needed. Our aim is maximum performance for minimum material/cost.

The MIB FrameSpace system incorporates thermally isolated, discrete structural packers.

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.

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.

The running of services in external walls is made easy by the creation of a service cavity, created using OSB battens.
