A material we love and one you should know about:

Light as a Feather, Strong as a Board:

These remarkably strong yet lightweight structural panels consist of recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) and are framed with a welded wire space-frame system.

The Secret to the Strength:

Most of the strength comes from keeping the outer space frame separated. By increasing the distance between them with the foam core, the panels can resist bending far better than a solid sheet of metal weighing the same amount. It works similar to an I-beam.

Why is this important?

They’re lightweight, strong, stiff, have lower transportation and installation costs, and have excellent thermal insulation.

After panels are installed, they are set with shotcrete (field-applied cement).

Built to Beat the Heat:

And you wouldn’t believe it, but these panels have an astounding 4-hour fire rating!

Ready to Rock and Roll:

They can also resist 200 mph winds and are common in hurricane-prone places like Florida and the Caribbean

Hushes the Hustle:

Dampens the vibrations and reduces noise

Keeps the Munchers Away:

No wood is used, so the panels are more insect and termite-resistant

 

One Material, Endless Possibilities:

You’ll see these panels hard at work in all kinds of places, including
Refrigerated trucks and trailers

Boat structures, where buoyancy is important

Modular buildings

Cold-storage facilities

RVs & campers

Wind turbine equipment

Aircraft interiors, where every pound counts
