Why EDURA?
The EDURA panel is engineered to replace traditional studs, sheathing, and insulation. EDURA panels do not absorb water and won’t rot, warp, or support the growth of mold, mildew, or other nasty critters. EDURA has unmatched thermal insulation, cuts on-site construction time by half, and a building using EDURA exceeds Passive House air change standards.
Simply put, with EDURA panels, your finished building will be better. It’s structural sheathing, building enclosure, insulation, and water, air, and vapor barriers—all in one piece.
Stronger. Lighter. Better.
Our EDURA advanced composite sandwich panels are made up of a core of structural foam made from recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic. This PET core is surrounded by layers of structural “skin,” that goes through a lamination process to create a monolithic sheathing.
This process makes every EDURA panel not only durable but remarkably lightweight. Where a typical sheet of plywood weighs 130 pounds, a sheet of EDURA weighs about 26 pounds.
It starts with a plastic bottle.
Actually, LOTS of plastic bottles.
Inside EDURA
How do we use technology to make buildings more durable and better for the planet?
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic is a strong, lightweight material used for packaging consumer drinks. EDURA panels have at their core a structural foam made of recycled PET – which makes for an extremely durable building material while also diverting millions of plastic bottles from landfills and oceans.
The thermoplastic core material has superior thermal insulation, water resistance, and screw retention, plus stable mechanical properties and improved resin uptake performance. It also produces half the CO₂ emissions compared to PVC. We are proud to partner with Gurit, the company that creates this amazing structural core.
