The Mantle Building System was born out of a lifelong passion for sustainable (environmentally responsible) construction. The desire was to create a building system that would insulate buildings while also bearing structural loads, in one component. Furthermore the new material would have to be completely recyclable. |

Seven years of testing allows us to make claims that few others can match for the thermal shell of a structure; of course, we sincerely suggest that we are brought in at the design stage as we can assist in advising re the type of ventilation controls and capital equipment to be used in such highly insulated structures, while ensuring negligible energy costs. |

For us carbon neutrality means that the self- insulating Mantle Building System saves, during its working life, far more energy than is expended through manufacture and erection of the product. The Mantle Building System is made from environmentally responsible materials, contains no CFC’s nor formaldehydes and is 100% recyclable, its components being reconstituted into more Mantle Panels. Panels consist of a rigid core of light weight high density insulation material (HD-ESP) which is bonded to cementatious facings resulting in a single solid unit structure that allows no twisting, warping or racking whilst meeting or exceeding all known building regulations. |

Green Guide to Housing
Our cementatious facing with a high volume of wood fibre content, achieves an 'A' rating in the current Green Guide (Refurbishment external and internal wall insulation), if used in conjunction with an 'A' or 'B' level insulation. Our insulation is 'A+++' rated.
The insulation core we use is rated at 0.04 air-tightness as Environmentally Profiled by BRE in accordance with ISO 14041.
One can't get much better than that! |
