10 Simple Steps to Building Green
  1. It takes One Hundred 8.5 inch diameter trees to build a 1,500 Sq.Ft. home. A ThermaSteel home of the same size uses the steel equivalent of 2 recycled cars!
  2. ThermaSteel homes save on average 35% - 50% on heating and cooling costs when compared to stick-built homes!
  3. Construction waste is drastically reduced with a ThemaSteel home!
  4. Our steel reinforced expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels pass Southern Florida Hurricane Standards!
  5. ThermaSteel panels also pass California and Russia Zone 9 Earthquake Standards!
  6. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) does NOT damage the ozone layer!
  7. ThermaSteel’s expanded polystyrene building products are made with recycled content; and, since EPS is non-toxic, EPS process trimmings are also recycled into stuffed animal and bean bag filler materials!
  8. ThermaSteel panels complete four functions in one cost saving step: framing, insulation, sheathing, and vapor barrier. You will use fewer materials while creating a superior residential, commercial or industrial structure!
  9. Fire tests have proven that EPS gives off fewer toxins than conventional wood framing!
  10. The American Lung Association’s (ALA) Health House guidelines, among the toughest in the nation for indoor air quality, acknowledges EPS sheathing as a safe material. The installed ThermaSteel panels do NOT experience off-gassing or host molds that may affect indoor air quality!
