Our panel system is a prefab off-site building solution that helps maintain architectural integrity while providing superior performance over other solutions in the market. Our panel is airtight, moisture-resistant and has a high R value.
The panels are built with 5 layers: polyester, OSB, EPS in different thicknesses, polyester and a finishing layer. Thanks to our unique gluing process, we are able to reach performance levels not seen with other off-site solutions. The adhesive penetrates deeply into the insulation panel and ensures an optimal connection between the insulating layers and the building. Our Net-Zero panel can also be designed and fabricated in order to adopt to the contour of exterior wall. It was developed in Europe and is one the most cost effective well tested solution on the market.
