The ARXX Wallsystem consists of interlocking, lightweight, expanded polystyrene forms. Designed to be an integral part of the wall, the forms remain in position after the concrete is
placed. The insulating capacity of expanded polystyrene coupled with the structural integrity of reinforced concrete is a powerful combination - it makes Arxx walls stronger, safer, quieter
and more energy efficient. In test after test, Arxx walls meet or exceed standards set by building codes. Add our talented and service-oriented technical support network to our excellent
products and it's clear: Arxx is the Total Building Solution for your building projects. Building Trust - Building Total Solutions.

BUILD IN EXTRA COMFORT AND SAVINGS

Arxx walls can virtually eliminate the cold spots that occur in conventional frame walls, because your home is wrapped in two continuous layers of foam insulation. An Arxx home has
33% to 50% less air infiltration than a conventional frame house, so uncomfortable drafts are virtually eliminated. The solid concrete core of an Arxx wall stabilizes the
temperature because of its thermal mass. So homeowners get constant temperatures, even when the outdoor temperature fluctuates throughout the day. With its high R-values, low air
infiltration, and high thermal mass, you can reduce your initial building costs by installing a smaller HVAC system. Plus, the homeowner can save up to 50% of their monthly heating
and cooling costs (depending on the region) compared to a conventional home.

PROVEN AND TESTED FIRE RATINGS

You get a 2-hour UL/ULC listed Fire Resistance Rating on every 6" Arxx wall you build. You can double it to a 4-hour rating by adding fiber to the concrete. Fire retardant is added
to the EPS foam providing a self-ignition temperature of over 800
