Moisture and MHS aluminum frame

The installation of Structurally Insulated Panels as a wall, roof, and floor is often subject to swelling by moisture. The result is often an uneven wall, roof, or floor. MHS Technology insets the SIP in the aluminum extrusion and then connects with other extrusions to create a space frame structure. This releases the previous function of the SIP as a structural element into just a surface occupier.
In a MHS aluminum frame the patented design of the extrusion allows the inset of panels. Environmental concerns and limitations can be adapted to the surface of a structure (SIP, brick, adobe, glass, others in architectural manual) without placing a heavy responsibility on the space frame module of MHS.
In the event, that moisture penetrates the tiniest openings of the border outlining the extrusions and SIP then that wetness is absorbed by the inset OSB. This tightens the space within the extrusion outline and border of the space frame. The proportion achieved by arranging the extrusions in a modular placement thwarts the capability for the connection to dismember internally from the pressure of its inset surface material. A rigid MHS frame after exposure to moisture along its extrusion outline becomes pure and ripe in rigidity as the structure systematically bonds.
