  5. Interior gypsum / MGO sheathing

The Ultimate Steel Framing System: Zero Thermal Bridging

Introducing The KRATOSTM Wall

The KRATOS™ Wall System is a 4-in-1 exterior wall solution, integrating a precision steel framing system backed by comprehensive structural engineering services, that is revolutionizing the construction industry as a lighter, stronger, and more durable energy efficient alternative to traditional block/wood structures.

4-in-1 Features Built-in

  • Structural Framing - Galvanized light gauge steel with prepunched service holes for electric & plumbing trades.
  • Insulation - Closed cell spray foam & rigid exterior sheathing with impact rated mesh layers provide R-16+ from factory.
  • Impermeability - Closed cell spray foam & exterior sheathing provide a complete moisture/air barrier (WRB).
  • Exterior Sheathing - Impact rated continuous insulative sheathing provides thermal break and is ready for cladding. MX7 series provides additional structural integrity, fire/impact protection, nail/screw surface and a reduced carbon footprint.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Integrated Value-Engineered Building Solution - Single Source
  • Lab Tested for Impact, Wind Load & Moisture/Air Penetration
  • Meets IBC/Florida/Other Building Code Requirements
  • Patented Layered Technology provides thermal break
  • Continuous Insulation & built-In WRB - No need to wrap building
  • MX7 product line provides up to 2 Hour Fire rating
  • MX7 product line provides negative carbon sheathing w/nail surface
  • Green Energy Efficient - 50% to 80% Savings
  • Energy Efficiency allows for reduced HVAC Size & Cost
  • Low to no waste technology facilitates low Carbon Footprint
  • Trade-Friendly with pre-punched service holes
  • Lowest cost of ownership (TCO)
  • Made in the USA with highest grade G60/G90 steel
  • Fast & easy to install - Rapid tilt-wall process with smaller crew
  • Lightweight wall panels & trusses reduce heavy equipment needs
  • Reduced waste, labor, inspections, build time
  • Environmental & financial sustainability

Benefits of Building With Steel

  • Highest strength-to-weight ratio with no weak spots
  • Healthy - No dry-rot, termites, moisture, mold or mildew
  • Long-term Durability & Consistent Performance
  • Absorbs seismic/storm energy, bends without breaking
  • Positive consistent load path - dimensionally stable
  • Provides excellent fire protection, is non-combustible
  • Recycled & recyclable - low carbon footprint
