StructuralQ I am interested in constructing my home using shotcrete applied over polystyrene panels. There are several systems for this, but I’m most interested in avoiding “thermal bridging” that occurs when metal reinforcement passes from the inside of the home to the outside through the foam insulation. I am also interested in fabricating the panels myself, if possible. There was a system utilizing metal reinforcement grids on each side of the polystyrene panel connected by plastic components. Can you point me toward a company that offers this system in the US?
ICS, 3-D panels are structurally reinforced styrofoam panels that, in conjunction with properly applied shotcrete, become a superior building system. This is a proven panel with a global track record and much experience among ASA members. They are located in Brunswick, GA.
