The Monolithic Building System is a unique and effective way to easily create a strong insulated concrete building or wall. This Concrete Insulated Form System (CIFS) may be used in any type of concrete structure because of the flexibility of design and ease of use. Thousands of structure and walls have been built around the world with the Monolithic Building System. Many of them use the panel for all elements of the structure including walls, floors, stairs and trim. This system is used for affordable housing all the way to multi-million dollar housing. Residential, commercial, institutional multi-story all can be created easily with this remarkable code-approved method.
The strength of the Monolithic Building System is enormous and is partially attributed to the truss wires, which are welded to connect each side of mesh to make the panel. The insulation in the center of the panel is suspended on the truss wires and becomes a continuous thermal break when panels are connected. The performance of the insulation thus is greater then the R-value rating because of the thermal-mass effect of the concrete on each side of the panel.
The monolithic structure enables it to withstand earthquakes, hurricanes and typhoons. Many monolithic buildings have endured hurricanes with no water penetration or damage; earthquakes with no cracking and at the same time provided a comfortable and energy-efficient environment for the residents. In the U.S. today there is a strong movement towards concrete housing. The Monolithic Building System is perfect for this market. It provides hard walls and perfectly placed insulation for maximum efficiency. Stay-in-place forms today use polystyrene as molds for concrete and end up with soft exteriors and exteriors which have to be hardened. In the process, they lose the thermal mass effect necessary for energy efficiency. Unlike concrete block, the monolithic panel provides the insulation and reinforcement strength to concrete, which makes it acceptable for residential or commercial construction.
The Monolithic Building System has been described as Twenty First Century technology available today. The monolithic panel is your solution to your "Green Building".

Double Panel
 Double panels are an excellent alternative to insulated concrete forms (ICF). They are designed to support greater load bearing capacity than MOP, MRP or any ICF system in the market today.

Rectangular Panel
 In the rectangular panel, the rectangular cut of the polystyrene requires the use of less mortar then the MOP. Use of this panel is only recommended for partition walls and fences.

Undulated Panel
 Undulated panels are typically used as a structural load bearing wall shotcreted on both sides or as a sub floor or roof deck application with concrete poured on the top side of the floor and shotcrete applied to the underside of the floor.
