Our mission is to provide the building materials that structurally and environmentally

• GigaCrete is a family of products based on low carbon footprint “Green” ceramic

binders significantly outperforming Portland cement: We never use PORTLAND CEMENT which is a high CO2 producer

• StuccoMax, a waterproof exterior coating that is non-combustible

• PlasterMax, a fire rated abuse resistant coating over foam replacing gypsum board

• All GigaCrete coatings bond permanently to EPS insulation foam, concrete products, bricks and plasters.

• All are one coat applications and fast to apply

• All are abuse resistant, non combustible, no VOC’s, no off-gassing utilizing only safe and healthy materials that will not support the growth of mold or mildew.

outperform today’s conventional building products. Goal is to provide affordable and energy efficient housing GigaPanel building system allows a high performance sustainable home to be constructed at or below stick built prices!

What are GigaCrete’s unique “PanelSystems” “PanelSystems” is not what you think…. It is not a SIP’s panelized building system at all…. It is a patented steel framed insulation system! The building components are structural steel “stud” construction, proven for decades, signed off by a local structural engineer who only has to agree with the calculations of leading structural engineering already completed. We reversed the building process Typically the structural part comes first, then R19 insulation is added in between the studs last, this leaves inefficiencies, thermal leaks and sound transmission through the steel into the home…. Neither fast or ideal. PanelSystems starts with the last component…R28 rigid foam insulation panels with computerized insert channels cut into the foam precisely where structural engineering dictates the steel studs fit to meet code compliance for a steel framed structure! The structural components are then slipped into place and securely attached with self tapping screws….Exactly the same as steel framed construction only this can be done by unskilled labor, purposely made to be very simple, guaranteed square, right the first time, no measuring, no room for errors.

1. Layout steel track on slab and permanently attach to slab

2. Locate wall insulation panels into track

3. Slide down connectors and screw together top and bottom

4. Cut in electrical conduits and secure with insulating foam

5. Coat exterior with 3,500 psi StuccoMax (same day)

6. Coat roof with Gigaroof (StuccoMax)

7. Coat interior with fire rated, 8500 psi PlasterMax

Tools needed to build a house : Step Ladder, Screw Gun, Ramset Gun, Tape Measure, Metal Shears, Pry Bar

6” thick PanelSystems components Easy to store and ship.

PanelSystems are designed for rapid assembly by unskilled labor Large wall insulation Panels can be lifted with one hand.

16 linear feet of wall PanelSystems is easily carried into position NO Heavy Machinery Needed.

Step 1: Lay out the bottom tracks according to plans and include water resistant gaskets between the bottom track and the slab.

Step 2: Attach bottom track into the slab with Ramset pins

Step 3: Locate panels next to where they are needed

Step 4: Insert foam panel into steel stud bottom track

Track positioned over moisture gasket and shot into slab. Tools needed: ramset gun, pins and load and tape measure

Panels are laid in place in minutes not days Rooms take shape instantly CNC cut they are guaranteed to be square with studs located exactly where they need to be as per structural engineering specifications NO SPECIAL SKILLS NEEDED No Measuring No Room for Errors

Patented connectors based on “steel framed” construction methods Slide down engineered grooves in panels forming panel to panel connections and the structural members both at the same time.

Note: the PanelSystems designs determine where the structural studs and connectors are placed

Step 5: Insert studs Tools needed: Step ladder Screw gun, Pry bar
