Construction Optimized for Performance and Function - CBS has designed its parts to specific performance requirements and optimized its composites for use in construction applications. Each engineered piece has been specifically designed to achieve maximum performance for its intended use. CBS applied aeronautical designs in its support structures for buildings that include the wall, floor, and roof elements. The entire protective envelope or shell of the building has been engineered as an integrated unit for optimum safety and protection as a high-performance building.

CBS Leeds all Other Building Program - In the next evolution for environmental stewardship, a third-party certification program of nationally accepted benchmarks was developed as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program for the design, construction and operation of high performance “green” buildings

CBS Panels Contribute up to 21 LEED points – In its approach to reduce the environmental footprint of our buildings, CBS addressed all attributes of a building’s performance such as

ASTM Specifications – When buildings are constructed to hurricane resistance standards, the superior composite materials are often lower cost than wood or concrete when erected in-place. The mechanical specifications of CBS composite materials are detailed below, reflecting superior values over wood, concrete, and steel.

High Wind Load Conditions - Composites are stronger than steel and lighter than wood by weight. The expansion and contraction of composites are almost identical to glass and 5 times less than aluminum.

Calculations Affecting Panel Performance

Glass Fiber Composites Surpass Wood & Steel - The graphs in the Specs, Features, and Benefits PDF in the literature section of this site compares the CBS Egis stud with steel structural exterior I-beams and wood 2’ x 6’ members. Those charts show that in a 160 mile an hour winds only the fiberglass studs are strong enough to keep the entire structure intact. Whether on 16 inch (41 cm) centers or 24 inch (61 cm) centers, glass fiber optimized composite studs are clearly the best alternative for protecting prized possession and the lives of the family.

Every Piece Exact and Straight - Because CBS studs and structural parts are manufactured under strict quality control in the factory, the pieces are identical straight and true.

Intellectual Properties surrounds CBS Core Technologies and Business - CBS has thirty-one (31) patent or patent applications in process both domestically and internationally, with over 20 issued by the end of 2008.
