KTECT SBSbuilds and collaborates withothers in the provision of

environmentally passive structures that conserve, cooperate with, and
whenever possible, help to regenerate the environment that we share.
They are a relational company that exists to keep our world alive,
healthy, and thriving by creatively resourcing products that add more
value than what we take away.

They build with integrity, environmental resourcefulness, and

meaningful relationships.
KTECTuses a unique combination of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) and
light gauge structural steel.

This eliminates many problems that traditional building methods face,

including negative environmental impact, maintenance costs,
construction costs, thermal and sound bridging, insects, warping over
time, and damage from mould, mildew, or rust.

makes a wall system that the company
calls the newest generation of structural
insulated panels.

Although not a sandwich panel, the

system is kind of like rSTUD but different
and more comprehensive.

K-tect includes a light-gauge, metal-stud

frame with insulation in a thermally
broken assembly (see below) that
improves thermal efficiency and controls
noise.

The core is an expanded polystyrene

(EPS) insulation

Both the frame and core are recyclable

and the system may contribute towards
several points in the LEED green building
certification system.

Are KTECT products susceptible to insects and
other pests?
KTECTproducts are made of EPS and light gauge structural steel, which means
there is absolutely no food value for termites or other wood boring insects. Since
EPS is a rigid material and does not crack or warp over time, this also makes it
extremely difficult for other pests to infiltrate the home.

COST
SAVINGS
Reduced Labour Costs
KTECT is custom engineered, pre-
built and shipped flat as a building
package - ready to be assembled.
Assembly is with screws and
sealant and does not require any
specialized experience or skill.
This makes KTECT a perfect match
for the home owner who is
building their own home.
The average KTECT building
envelope can be completed in
days (traditional construction can
take weeks and requires
specialized
skills/knowledge/experience).
Construction can also be
completed in inclement and harsh
weather conditions.This simplicity
reduces construction costs, waste,
and expensive on-site labour.
Mould, Mildew, Rust, and Pest Resistant
unique combination of expanded polystyrene
and light-gauge structural steel is allergy
friendly, meaning KTECT systems do not
require additional air-filtration to reduce
mould and air borne contaminants.
Because there is no wood, there is no food
value for termites or other wood-boring
insects, making KTECT extremely resistant to
pest infiltration.
This greatly reduces the cost of upkeep.
Does not require costly maintenance
KTECT products are weather proof, heat
resistant, and are designed to meet all
disaster requirements. They will not lose
quality over time and do not require
specialized maintenance or upkeep.
KTECTproducts have an R-Value of up to R-5
per inch and temperature and sound are
unable to pass through, which reduces
heating and cooling costs in harsh climates.
 ENVIRONMENTAL
STABILITY
No off-gassing of
harmful
chemicals
KTECT products have a low
ecological footprint. They do not
release harmful chemicals such
as CFCs or HCFCs into the
environment, meaning they do
not contribute to ozone depletion
and global warming.
