Welcome to K-tect Sustainable Building Systems

 

"...The K-tect System has definitely raised my standards when it comes to design and building; I will not settle for anything less..."

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 K-tect Systems 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.

 

About Styropor EPS insulating core used in all K-tect Sustainable Building Systems

     **Does not rely on any "insulating" gas, such as pentane or HCFCs, for thermal insulation performance and thus are completely constant over the long term.  (Benefits do not diminish over time but last the lifetime of the building structure.)

     **During and shortly after manufacture, pentane is exchanged with air in the cells of the EPS and may be collected for disposal. (No harmful chemicals and no offgassing.)

     **Requires the least amount of material to meet the necessary thermal and mechanical performance standards required in construction applications.

     **GREENGUARD Certified for Indoor Air Quality.  GREENGUARD Certified for Children and Schools.

     ** ICC and UL Reports
