A Revolution in Sustainable Design™

          K-tect™ Sustainable Building Systems (K-tect™) are prefabricated building sections made of two of the most reliable and effective construction materials on the market - light gauge structural steel and expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulating core.  All K-tect Systems can be fabricated to any shape and size including curved walls and arches and are suitable for both commercial and residential applications.  The building sections are so versatile they can be used to construct exterior walls, interior walls, roofs and floors.

          K-tect Systems provide a solution to many of the common problems associated with building envelope construction.  The choice of materials and ingenious design eliminates thermal bridging while providing superior thermal (R4 to R5 per inch) and sound insulation.  All K-tect Systems are moisture resistant, insect proof, fire resistant and allow near zero air infiltration.  Construction waste is minimal and no special equipment or training is needed for installation.

          All K-tect Systems are easy on the environment - inside and out.  The EPS insulating core contains no chemicals that can off-gass and will not break down over time.  It has been certified by GREENGUARD,  in two categories: GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality and GREENGUARD Children & Schools.  Both of the components in kama-EEBS are completely recyclable.  The prestigious firm of McDonough and Braungart has determined that the EPS insulating core "is suited for circulating in a cradle-to-cradle life cycle as a technical nutrient".

          K-tect Systems can help architects and builders achieve up to twenty-three points for a LEED®,  registered project and meet or exceed other local and state green building codes.

          K-tect Systems have successfully met the conditions of acceptance as outlined in ASTM Method E119-07a Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials for a fire endurance rating of 1 hour, while maintaining a live load of 2,208 pounds per lineal foot.  The evaluation was completed October 23, 2007 by Intertek Testing Services.
