Is a technological evolution for walls, floors and roof construction.

Mpanel is a SIP system with  structural qualities comprised by a expanded polystyrene (EPS) core, surrounded by electro-welded steel and finally sprayed with concrete.

Unlike other SIP systems in the market, Mpanel is truly structural, typically no additional structural members are necessary up to 4 stories high; interior walls, floors and roof can be constructed with Mpanel.

All other SIP systems require interior and or exterior finishes. Mpanel is ready for paint; it is also hurricane resistant, provides high insulation values, fire rated, moisture resistant and provides high sound attenuation.

The result is a fast, economical and durable construction technology. Very cost effective in those conditions requiring interior/exterior finsh and insulation.

AP-Builders delivers Mpanel installed, including engineering and signed/sealed drawings for permitting.

BENEFITS

  • COST SAVINGS. Mpanel, once installed, is ready for paint no drywall needed. In one step Mpanel replaces masonry, framing, insulation, drywall and finish; thus, reducing cost and construction time:
  • GREEN. Mpanel has a higher insulation value, R-30, than any of the traditional construction methods. 40% or better in energy savings may be achieved.
  • FLEXIBLE. Mpanel accommodates architectural design requirements, including interior walls, floor and roof. Any finish can be applied inside and out.
  • STRUCTURAL. Mpanel is the structure created by the steel mesh and the reinforced concrete cover. Provides additional savings in materials as it is a lighter construction technology.
  • Increased end user satisfaction from high insulation values and high sound attenuation properties.
  • Fire resistant - Water/moisture resistant
  • LIGHNING PROTECTION. When used as a roof system Mpanel is the only system capable of providing 100% lighning protection. Its steel mesh will safely route any discharge to the ground. See Faraday cage effect.

ICF http://ap-builders.com/index.php/using-joomla/extensions/components/content-component/article-categories/71-icf http://ap-builders.com/index.php/using-joomla/extensions/components/content-component/article-categories/71-icf Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)

Architects and engineers are discovering the advantages of concrete construction as the long-term, quality alternative to typical wood- and steel-framed housing.  A concrete structure can withstand fire, insect infestation, and forces of nature like tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes significantly better than those made of other building materials. 


   We are the local appointed BuildBlock Distributor, offering Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) and all necessary accessories for the installation.

 

NEW!! BuildDeckBUILDDECK

ICF floor deck / roof deck form is available. Think stronger structures and energy efficient systems.

This form creates the necessary beams for self supporting roofs and floors, with high insulation values.

 

Installation

We understand the market needs and have created specialized services to ensure the ICF’s are installed correctly, perform as specified and are affordable.

Risks and costs could highly increase by using untrained subcontractors or in-house inexperienced crews. In-house crew costs consists of costly learning curve, retention of qualified personnel in slow times and storage of equipment and braces when not in use.

We also offer Engineering Services to ensure your project is not over-designed, which can potentially save thousands of dollars in labor and materials.  We have trained personnel and implement efficient processes. This translates into the best pricing and best final product for you!
