Introduction to Composite Framing

®

Composites

• A combination of dissimilar materials which retain their

individual characteristics yet achieve performance that

surpasses the combined performance of the individual

materials.

• A synergy occurs.

• The constituent materials work together yet remain in

their original physical forms and chemical

compositions, they are not chemically combined

Relatively Few High Production Machines

LEED Points toward Certification

Saving Energy

• Lowest “Embodied Energy” of all building systems – The total energy required to produce a produce from raw material

stage through finished product erection

• Longest life cycle – Pultrusions insulate against heat and cold saving energy, reducing

home ownership costs, and maintaining value for years

• Minimum Materials – Glass made from sand - Recyclable

– Resin made from petro-chemical – 1 house weight = 2 tanks of gas weight

In a 2,000 square foot home* 1 Ton of composite replaces:

17 Tons of wood, or

41 Tons of concrete

* built to hurricane standards

Saving Forests

Where do we get oxygen now?

Where are we going to get it later?

1 Plant Saves 15,000 acres of trees each year

3 Plants save 70 square miles of trees each year
