Overview

Overview

The only noncombustible cementitious structural panel manufactured in the United States.

STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Panels are noncombustible, inorganic, and mold-, moisture-, and termite-resistant. The panels are cured in-factory and dimensionally stable for use in subfloor assemblies for many floor finishes. STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Panels meet the full criteria of ASTM E136 for use in all types of noncombustible construction. Numerous 1-, 2- and 3-hour fire designs are available for modular, panelized, and conventionally constructed buildings to meet virtually any application. The panels are easily cut with standard framing tools, rapidly applied using mechanical fasteners, and require no adhesive for installation.

  • What are the benefits of using STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels vs. poured concrete?

    STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are:

    • Lighter – less weight, less overall structural material
    • Faster – no wait for curing, fewer trades (carpenters can install STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels), greater schedule flexibility, faster time to open
    • Lower risk – no moisture uncertainty, cured so there is no excessive free water
    • Lower total installed cost – fewer trades, less material, less equipment, faster time to open
  • How do we achieve meaningful time savings on a project using STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels?
