What the company offered as an alternative to the existing brick walls was “Structural Insulated Panel System”.

The panels are made of high technology polystyrene (thermocol) and steel mesh with high strength RCC sprayed on either side. The modular panels can be used with normal construction frame. The thermocol is 60 mm, 80 mm, or 120 mm thick. It is an Italian technology that is in use for nearly 30 years and adopted in about 60 countries. These modules make the buildings energy-efficient and provide thermal insulation. Compared to regular buildings, it gives at least 15 per cent saving on costs.The product decreases the load on the structure and hence can be used in multi-storeyed buildings.
