Technical Data
Our High Performance Green Building System™ (HPGBS™) is constructed of 100% recycled tubular galvanized steel and expanded polystyrene (EPS). Steel has long been the world’s most recyclable material. In addition, EPS possesses inherent cradle-to-cradle design characteristics and is recyclable.
Buildings constructed with HPGBS™ will utilize far less energy than those built using conventional means and methods and because the majority of the material is prefabricated at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility we are able to minimize waste at the jobsite.

*R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R–Value, the greater the insulating power. Ratings listed above are based on Cellofoam® Technical Data. Actual R–Values achieved will vary based on building design.
Galvanized Steel Benefits |
| • | Highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material |
| • | 100% recyclable |
| • | Non-combustible – does not burn nor contribute fuel to the spread of fire |
| • | Inorganic – will not rust, rot, warp, split, crack or creep |
| • | Dimensionally stable – does not expand or contract with moisture content |
| • | Consistent material quality – produced in strict accordance with national standards, no regional variations |
