Manufactured Wall Panels

½” Blackboard can be used in conjunction with 7/16” OSB at the corners

to meet local building code.

Wall panels can be used on larger projects like this apartment complex.

Energy corners allow for insulation to be stuffed into the corner joint, thereby create a more energy efficient house.

Technology in Building

Each building is designed with ”real time” parametric 3-D software that allows the designers to analyze the building as it is being designed.  The software generates a three dimensional representation of the building that can be used to manually verify the components used in the structure. This allows the designer to analyze the structure as it is being designed. 

Wall Panels Save You Money

The dry-in time for a structure using wall panels is significantly shorter than stick framing. This saves money in construction costs. The simplicity of erecting a panelized structure allows for a less experienced construction crew, saving cost of labor and expensive mistakes from field decisions. Far less scrap is generated on a job-site using panelized walls. This saves money in waste scrap and dumpster rental and removal. Panelization of a structure reduces the amount of lumber being cut on a jobsite, thereby reducing the risk of injury from cutting lumber.

Flexibility in Design

Virtually any structure that can be stick built can be panelized.  Standard wall heights start at 8’-0”, 9’-0”, and 10’-0”, but our manufacturing plant can build walls as tall as 20’-0”.  Sheathing options vary as well. Our standard wall sheathings include 7/16” OSB, ½” Blackboard, and 3/16” Therma-ply.  Headers can be dropped to the top of window and door openings, or raised to the top plate, whichever the builder prefers. Options such as Cal-corners instead of energy corners; modular ladders instead of standard Tee’s are available.

Quality Design Standards

All panelized structures are designed to meet International Building Codes. Headers and beams are individually sized to ensure sufficient strength for loads bearing on them.  In high wind areas, sheathing can be lapped over a floor system to create a solid joint between upper and lower walls. All studs are #2 SPF or better grades. Pressure treated plates are used whenever walls are to be installed directly on masonry or concrete.
