Wall System
The Nascor exterior wall system is manufactured in a controlled environment using expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulating panels and engineered wooden I-beam columns. This insures dimensional consistency and insulation integrity, as well as, our wall systems are capable of supporting far greater loads while remaining straight and true.
Due to strong I-beam design, less lumber is needed for framing and there is absolutely no wasted lumber or
scrap to dispose of on the construction site. The expanded polystyrene
wall system is comprised of 98% air trapped inside of tiny closed cells
- an exceptional insulating material that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, resulting in reduced energy
costs. EPS won�t sag or settle, bend or compress like traditional glass
fiber insulation. It stays in place to provide permanent insulating
value top to bottom, year after year.
The manufactured wall system is computer designed and specially manufactured for individual home plans so the price and delivery can be guaranteed ahead
of time, without cost overruns. Wall panels are erected in a fraction
of the time needed for conventional framing so the structure can be
closed in from the elements and locked up faster, reducing potential weather damage, material theft and added expense. Expanded
polystyrene is non- toxic, emits no gases and is non- allergenic and dust free. Your home remains significantly cleaner, quieter and more comfortable now and in the years to come.
Key Benefits
- Expanded polystyrene insulation won't
deteriorate or settle.
- EPS resist moisture penetration and eliminates
condensation.
- Pre-cut channels for electric and plumbing.
- Cuts heating cost by up to 58%.
- Solid protection from thermal transfer.
