Infinity
Structures is a structural framing system supplier specializing in the
Epicore MSR Composite Floor System on pre-panelized load-bearing metal
stud walls (The Infinity Structural
System). The Infinity System is ideal for
multi-story residential projects such as apartments, condos, lofts, dorms,
hotels, and senior living facilities up to six-stories in height. Infinity
developed The Infinity Structural System in 1986, and as you can see from
our Installation Lists, we have by far the most extensive experience and
expertise of anyone in the business. Over many years and many projects,
we have "fine tuned and tweaked" The Infinity System making constant improvements
for a more economical, faster, trouble-free and user-friendly system.
Our scope of involvement varies from simply supplying the Epicore MSR
composite deck to a complete structural framing package. Infinity Structures
includes Project Management and Engineering assistance to ensure a smooth,
trouble-free installation. Our Engineering involvement varies from just
providing shop drawings to providing the full Structural Engineering design
from the foundations through the roof.
The Infinity
Structural System consists of the Epicore MSR Composite Floor System on
pre-panelized load-bearing metal stud walls. Epicore MSR is a 2" deep,
22 gauge galvanized long-span composite metal deck that acts as a permanent
form and positive reinforcing steel. The dovetail rib, flat bottom profile,
and closed flutes of Epicore MSR makes it uniquely suited for load-bearing
metal stud applications since it inherently distributes loads evenly over
the metal studs (eliminating the need for special load-distribution headers
or attempting to align joists and studs). The Epicore MSR Floor System
can clear span over 20 feet with a 4" to 6.5" slab thickness utilizing
3,000 psi minimum regular weight or lightweight concrete. The load-bearing
metal stud wall panels are 3 5/8", 4", or 6" galvanized studs spaced at
24", 16", or 12" on center. The gauge of the studs will be 20, 18, 16,
14, or 12 gauge depending upon axial loads, wind loads, and stud height.
Studs may be ordered in any length to achieve your desired floor-to-floor
heights.
The lateral
wind and/or seismic loads may be handled utilizing our exclusive Infinity
Shear Panel (Patented) or traditional methods such as light gauge flat
x-strapping, concrete / masonry shear walls, or structural steel K-frames,
etc.
We are
very excited about the recent addition of the ThermaSteel exterior insulated
wall panel system to our Infinity System options. Combining the 5 1/2"
ThermaSteel exterior panels with Infinity interior panels and the Epicore
MSR Composite Floor System offers initial cost savings, time savings,
immediate dry-in, and a tremendous energy cost savings for the building
owners year after year.
