kama Energy Efficient Building Systems, Inc. has introduced a new structural insulated roof and floor panel. The kama-EEBS RF Panel™ allows free spans of up to 16 feet (4.9 meters), and may help to reduce the number of trusses, purlins, rafters, floor joints, and other structural members required in a building project. This allows reductions in cost and construction time while maintaining high R Values and STC ratings. Custom-fabrication allows for arched roofs and windows, curved walls, and other complex designs. The panels are fully recyclable, and the Styropor® expanded polystyrene is GreenGuard-certified for superior indoor air quality. |
