The Mantle Building System was born out of a lifelong passion for sustainable (environmentally responsible) construction. The inventor of the Mantle Panel wanted to create a building system that would insulate buildings but could also bear structural loads. Furthermore the new material would have to be completely recyclable.
 

 
The whole area of energy saving and carbon neutrality within the construction industry is characterised by often unscientific claims for environmental supremacy – everybody says their product or method has high insulation or reduces carbon expenditure. Until a fully detailed set of performance indicators (with conformed testing methodology to match) can be laid down by regulators, this will continue to be the case.
 

 
For us carbon neutrality means that the self- insulating Mantle Building System saves, during its working life, far more energy than is expended through manufacture and erection of the product. The Mantle Building System is made from environmentally responsible materials, contains no CFC’s nor formaldehydes and is 100% recyclable, its components being reconstituted into more Mantle Panels. Panels consist of a rigid core of light weight high density insulation material (HD-EPS) which is bonded to cementatious facings resulting in a single solid unit structure that allows no twisting, warping or racking whilst meeting or exceeding all known building regulations.

Our cementatious facing with a high volume of wood fibre content, achieves an 'A' rating in the current Green Guide (Refurbishment external and internal wall insulation),
if used in conjunction with an 'A' or 'B' level insulation.
The insulationcore we use is rated at 0.04 as Environmentally Profiled by BRE in accordance with ISO 14041.
 

One can't get much better than that!
