Compressed agricultural fiber panel
(CAFP) is a marvelous tool for the design of the
structures for many of our projects. It simplifies
the structural design and allows the reduction
of the number of trades and suppliers on the job.
The plenum space is freed for duct work and electrical/data
distribution, which cuts time from the project
schedule and delivers a shell that is insulated,
air tight and quiet.
In high wind load zones and seismic
areas the product allows less detailing and calculations
to meet the structural demands. Because of the
fire rating of the panels, less material and concerns
of fire proofing is eliminated. In the interior
fit-out, we are able to wall mount furniture and
equipment without the necessity of blocking or
plywood. For our clients, whether a single occupant
or a multi-tenant building, the long term energy
savings and the sustainable material is a huge
benefit in tax credit, LEED certification and
the speed to market.
Agricultural fiber panels manufactured
from compressed wheat straw that replaces structural
steel and reduces overall project cost. These
panels have several key benefits:
- installs quickly on site
with no job site waste, saving up to 4 weeks
- negative carbon footprint
- tested safe up to F5 wind
conditions - Miami Dade County approved
- fire rating of 2.5 hours
- delivers up to 13 LEEDS
points - halfway to accredited status
- thermal envelope that
is 7x tighter than traditional construction
- mold resistance verified
by independent testing
