*SAVE ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT & MONEY Polystyrene panels are 1.2m x required stud height and min 200mm thick, which have cavities for columns and a continuous bond beam of reinforced concrete for roof and floor loads. See video on this link for process. http://www.4-cornerstone.com/videoclips/Promotion_video.mp4 The benefits are many as the polystyrene part absorbs shock in terms of Earthquake and high winds, and because it is 98% trapped air, it provides a very high insulation value compared to other insulation products. The other 2% matter is a waste product in the manufacture of oil and can also come from the likes of wood waste & orange peel.
