Non-Structural Insulated MgO Cement Cladding
Enhance the performance of any new or existing build with TechClad—a prefabricated insulated sheathing system.
As part of the building envelope, TechClad provides a comprehensive cladding solution designed to enhance thermal performance, fire protection, and structural integrity. This versatile system integrates magnesium oxide (MgO) sheathing with a variety of insulation options, allowing it to meet the specific needs of any project.
TechClad improves energy efficiency by reducing thermal bridging and increasing the building’s R-value, while also enabling faster and more efficient installations by allowing direct attachment of claddings without the need for additional support framing. Its robust composition not only provides superior protection from external elements but also contributes to sustainable building practices by minimizing material waste and labor time on site.
Features
- Instantly increases building’s R-value, effectively reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling while enhancing overall thermal performance
- Overall panel thickness is customizable based on project R-Value requirements
- Versatile applications for Type I, II, III, IV and V construction
- Reduce thermal bridging while maintaing structural and fire resistance
- Easily installs over existing structures, providing immediate insulation improvements and enhancing building envelope performance without extensive demolition.
- On-site flexibility. Easy to cut and modify on-site, allowing for seamless adjustments to fit specific design needs without compromising performance
Designed For:
- Multi-story wood and steel frame buildings
- Retrofitting existing structures
- Roofing applications
Testing & Certifications
We don’t just meet industry standards; we set them. By heavily investing in testing and certifications, ZS2 can confidently and safely bring innovative constructions to market that seamlessly integrate into existing regulations and industry standards. We have a rigorous testing and quality assurance program that includes independent third-party agencies to certify our products, as well as our in-house quality control team that maintains those standards in real time. This ensures all ZS2 products that arrive on-site meet and exceed project requirements.

TechClad FAQ
TechClad provides an insulated sheathing solution for virtually any construction project that needs a boost in R value and fire resistance. One of the most common uses is to enclose multi-storey steel frame buildings with a pre-fabricated insulated sheathing that provides rapid installation with minimal labor, and is easily modified on site with basic hand tools. TechClad is also ideal for retrofitting existing buildings with an extra layer of insulation and fire resistance.
Every project is unique and TechClad is manufactured to meet the specific project specifications. The thickness of the insulation can be adjusted to meet R-value requirements, and our team will help determine the best size of TechClad sheets for your project (4’x8’, 4’x9’, or 4’x10’).
TechClad incorporates the same fire, water and mold resistance as TechPanels, but is not a structural panel. This means it’s not a standalone building system, but can bring the same benefits of ZS2’s proprietary climate technology to new builds where TechPanels aren’t the best fit, or an existing building that needs an energy and climate retrofit.
