Better Building Ideas
PFB
Corporation has been manufacturing energy-efficient building
systems for more than 35 years.
The HighestPerforming!
BUILDING SYSTEM is an integration of our Insulspan SIP System and
Advantage Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) System. These energy-efficient
building systems are combined together as roof, wall and floor components.
The result is a completely insulated building envelope that is extremely
energy efficient, very durable and comfortable to live in.
Advanced homebuilding
technologies, such as Insulspan, are making homes more comfortable,
safer, healthier and more durable, all while reducing the impact
on the environment. Our energy-efficient building systems have already
proven the ability to significantly reduce energy and material consumption
while simultaneously improving the quality of life within the home.
In the past three decades, thousands of Insulspan homes built with
the SIPS homes system have demonstrated these performance advantages
while delivering substantial savings to homeowners. Insulspan homes
may qualify for tax benefits while delivering operational savings
and superior resale value. Insurance discounts may be available
to "fortified homes" incorporating the Insulspan SIP System.
At the core of all our insulating systems are
Plasti-Fab, EPS Product Solutions®; rigid insulation
products manufactured from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.
Our products translate into big operating cost
reductions for building owners compared with conventional materials
for the entire life of their buildings, because the thermal resistance
values of our insulating products remain constant for their lifetime.
Our building systems are able to reduce construction labor at the
job site because the systems are ready to assemble and easy to use.
This translates into faster erection times for the building envelope
on job sites; while at the same time, using fewer skilled workers
who are scarce in the labor force today. Once the building envelope
is completed, workers can finish the interior of the project in
air conditioned comfort and be far more productive. This translates
into quality work and on-the-job cost reductions.
Our pledge to our customers is to provide them
with quality, service and expertise that they are unable to find
elsewhere. In our manufacturing operations we employ ISO 9001 quality
systems that ensure we deliver on our pledge. Because we manufacture
all the insulating products at every level of our integrated product
chain, we are able to control quality at every level of manufacturing
operation. Quality is one of the cornerstones of our high customer
satisfaction ratings. Another cornerstone is our expertise in providing
solutions to our customers in fulfilling their needs.
Our teams include engineers, scientists, designers,
architects, product and manufacturing experts as well as experts
in computer technologies and building construction. Our people are
expert in solving problems for our customers as we work at every
manufacturing level within our product universe. We are experts
in the use of expanded polystyrene as an insulating building material
and its structural properties when used in our Insulspan SIP®
and Advantage ICF® building systems product lines.
We provide job site service and supervision when requested to ensure
that our customers are using our products in the most effective
ways possible.
PFB Corporation has always been particularly
attentive to environmental issues and our commitment to environmentally
sensitive products, processes and facilities remains at our highest
level of priority. The use of recycled materials and recycling processes
is an integral part of our operations. Our products are always produced
to rigorous technical standards and have never contained chemicals
associated with the depletion of the ozone layer of the atmosphere.
Due to excellent insulating properties, PlastiSpan®
insulation produces net savings of natural resources over its useful
lifetime. Using PlastiSpan insulation means that less energy for
heating - or for air conditioning - is required. Insulating to the
most stringent current regulations can cut heat loss by more than
70%. For every kilogram of energy resources used to manufacture
a PlastiSpan insulation board, approximately 150 kilograms of energy
resources are saved over the 50-year functional lifetime of the
insulation through reduced heating demands.
If you are interested in LEEDS qualifying
structures, Built Green and Energy Star savings, then you need to
include our Better Building Ideas™ in all your construction
plans.
