Amatec CeleStruct wall panel

Materially better walls. For less.

One structural wall, replacing seven fragile layers. Built to withstand the most extreme winds and fires.

/ The problem (01)

You can build homes cheap, or build them to survive a storm. Right now, not both.

The standard home is still wood framing wrapped in seven separate layers. Every layer is a new seam, a new trade, a new place for a storm to get in.

/ The second hidden problem (02)

Fertilizer plants produce millions of tons of gypsum waste a year, with nowhere to put it.

It gets stacked. The stacks keep growing, because no one has found a way to use the material at scale. Amatec has. We've developed pre-treatment processes that turn this waste gypsum into a usable feedstock, and several fertilizer producers are already paying us to take it off their hands. It's not a future roadmap item, it's revenue today, on a byproduct the industry has spent decades trying to get rid of.

/ The solution (03)

85% of wall materials eliminated.

CeleStruct collapses a 7-component wall assembly into a 3-layer sandwich: CeleStruct, insulation, CeleStruct. Structure, enclosure, and finish, cast in place.

/ Let's talk (06)

Hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods. They're not rare anymore. Homes still are built like they are.

Insurers are already pulling out of entire states. We need to fight climate change, and build for the one we're already living in.
