Building System Advantages

Apr 1, 2015



Cost Competitive
The Polycore building system provides the strength of steel and the efficiencies of EPS (expanded polystyrene) at costs that are competitive with traditional wood materials, concrete cribbing and ICF style foundations. With the savings in construction time and skill base requirements the Polycore building system is more economical and faster to use than traditional construction materials such as lumber and concrete. Plus, you're not depleting natural resources, or dependant on fluctuating lumber prices.
 
Energy Efficient
EPS will not degrade like other foam plastics and retains its R-value over the life of the building, providing exceptional insulation. Some foam plastics are subject to thermal drift, which decreasing their R-value over time. Our biscuit style joint systems also provide a superior air barrier, maintaining energy efficiency. Erected properly, Polycore building systems have long life with minimal maintenance and provide excellent protection from the elements, noise, and environmental wear.
 
Lightweight & Easily Handled
While the framing in the Polycore wall systems is galvanized steel framing studs, each panel is still light enough for one person to lift and maneuver. There are no special skills or tools required to set up the building system, and you won't require the heavy lifting equipment other systems require. A small crew with light hand tools can assemble an entire structure quickly and easily.
 
Provides Excellent Strength & Durability
Polycore building systems are EPS framed with steel. Steel makes an ideal building material as it can be cut to an exact size and will not warp or shrink. Galvanized steel takes up very little space, but still provides lasting strength that is non-combustible and recyclable. EPS and steel, fitted together with the Polycore technology, create a resilient structure that is easy to set up. You'll be amazed at how at how much strength we've packed into such a light system.
 
Precision Product
Computer precision and high quality assurance means building systems that arrive on a construction site are ready for use and fit together perfectly. Each project is reviewed and stamped by our Structural Engineer. We make sure that our product is ready for you on time, every time.
 
Low Shipping Costs
The unique makeup of our product means that shipping is easy and inexpensive. Our manufacturing process produces foundation and wall systems that are easily transportable, so your order arrives quickly and easily, with little cost.
 
Short Delivery & Production Time
Polycore building systems are a high quality product produced on proprietary state of the art equipment. Our production schedule is only dependent on factory load. As the entire production process is handled at our factory with no sub-contractors, we're able to provided firm and reliable delivery schedules.
 
Basements, Walls, Floors & More!
The Polycore building systems can handle almost every aspect of a typical construction project, not just Foundations and floors! We can also manufacture commercial bearing walls, garage grade beams and more. Eco Fab Structures can manufacture systems to suit almost any building needs for residential, commercial and industrial projects.
