Introducing The KRATOS™ Wall

STEEL FRAMING WITHOUT THERMAL BRIDGING

The KRATOS™ Wall System is a 4-in-1 exterior wall solution that is revolutionizing the construction industry as a lighter, stronger more durable and energy efficient alternative to traditional block/wood structures.

4-in-1 Features Built-in

  • Structural Framing - Galvanized light gauge steel with prepunched service holes for electric & plumbing trades.
  • Insulation - Closed cell spray foam & rigid exterior sheathing with impact rated mesh layers provide R-16+ from factory.
  • Impermeability - Closed cell spray foam & exterior sheathing provide a complete moisture/air barrier (WRB).
  • Exterior Sheathing - Impact rated continuous insulative sheathing provides thermal break and is ready for cladding. MX7 series provides additional structural integrity, fire/impact protection, nail/screw surface and a reduced carbon footprint.
