Composite materials have advantages over traditional materials like wood and concrete when used in construction. Composites are a combination of materials that achieve enhanced performance. They are now used in many applications including buildings, bridges, railings and more. Composite framing systems offer benefits like strength, durability, sustainability, disaster resistance, and energy efficiency. Prefabricated wall panels can be produced using composites to provide a complete building shell that is fast to assemble.

3. Composites
• A combination of dissimilar materials which retain their
individual characteristics yet achieve performance that
surpasses the combined performance of the individual
materials.
• A synergy occurs.
• The constituent materials work together yet remain in
their original physical forms and chemical
compositions, they are not chemically combined
Relatively Few High Production Machines

9. Saving Energy
• Lowest “Embodied Energy” of all building systems
– The total energy required to produce a produce from raw material
stage through finished product erection
• Longest life cycle
– Pultrusions insulate against heat and cold saving energy, reducing
home ownership costs, and maintaining value for years
• Minimum Materials
– Glass made from sand - Recyclable
– Resin made from petro-chemical – 1 house weight = 2 tanks of gas

In a 2,000 square foot home*
1 Ton of composite replaces:
17 Tons of wood, or
41 Tons of concrete
* built to hurricane standards

10. Saving Forests
1 Plant Saves 15,000 acres of trees each year
3 Plants save 70 square miles of trees each year
