Frameless Construction™
Innovative sheathing for roofs and walls with integral ventilation. Able to span 48 inches, reducing framing costs. VentBoard™ eliminates ice dams in northern climates and cools attics in southern climates.
DuctBoard™
An innovative floor sheathing with two plenums that provide supply and return air. DuctBoard™ can span 48 inches, reducing framing costs. Eliminates the need for ductwork and provides superior air distribution and warm floors.
Fast-Floor™
The floor cassettes are a more efficient floor system that efficiently combine structure and sheathing in one large panel eliminating the need to build from individual joists and sheets.
Sure-Seat™ Screws
Developed to secure Plenum Panels. Also useful for VentBoard, DuctBoard and competitors products. The screw cuts through the first layer making a washer before securing to the bottom layer.
PlenumPanel™
Patented panels for floors and roofs in mass timber construction that save big on material and weight.
Footless Forms™
A unique residential concrete forming system that eliminates the need for footings. Footless Forms™ reduces the need to backfill, grade and compact, and takes days off the schedule.
All products are covered by multiple patents in the US and Canada and have federal trademarks.

Advantages
Construction Cost Savings
Together, these products can save 10% in the cost of a median price house while providing the homeowner with both cost and energy savings.
That's about $20,000 per house!
Green Construction Methods
- Recycled material used in the production of both VentBoard matrix and DuctBoard spacers.
- More efficient use of wood by increasing spans and eliminating significant lumber requirements. Reduces carbon footprint in materials, transportation and construction.
- More energy efficient in winter: cold roof allows insulation envelope system to work as designed, preventing ice dams and condensation which reduces chances of mold.
- More energy efficient in summer by exhausting hot air from attics, reducing attic temperatures 20 to 30 degrees in warmer climates and resulting in lower electrical costs for air conditioning.
- Extends life of roofing systems by reducing temperature extremes of materials during warm seasons.
- Footless Forms produce significant cost reductions through faster construction— saving materials, time, and energy.
