Assembly

Transcon Steel has taken a simple solution to an on-site panelized framing approach. After ten years analyzing national and international installation instruction approaches, with concepts ranging from color designations, arrows, panel numbering, delivery approaches, and erection scenarios, Transcon Steel has formulated a multilingual framing designation system. As a standard all panels are installed from left to right, each wall is labeled alphabetically, and each wall panel is labeled in sequential order. Each panel also receives a “Top” / “Outside” marking to further support correct panel installation. The panel labeling system can be easily changed per project into any language and measurement standard to support local requirements.

The Ease of On-site Construction

Each Ultra Frame panel has a 24 gauge trim metal on both top and bottom. This trim metal is to provide protection of the EPS during the install so that it will easily slide into the structural bottom and top track.

The approach to framing:

  1. Set perimeter wall moisture sealer
  2. Anchor structural bottom track
  3. Mark track with panel widths
  4. Set Ultra Frame panels to each mark
  5. Install structural top track
  6. Screw or nail fasten track to panel studs

Panels are bundled per wall group and delivered on a flat bed trailer for ease of off-loading.

Panels are light weight and do not require the use of cranes or lifts. A typical panel weighs the same as a sheet of 3/4” plywood.
