Industry News

Commercially Speaking...

We are very excited about the growing use of Platinum in com­mercial applications. 

After the first multi-family housing project in Manatee county got underway last Spring, the county became aware of Platinum prod­ucts and have started using them in many of their projects as we mentioned last month. Since then, Platinum’s attributes of faster construction, lower cost and better energy efficiency have lead to use in more commercial applications. 

Construction is currently underway in a project where Platinum is replacing CMU in an adaptive rebuild of a restaurant in downtown St. Pete.  It is a 6 story chase wall made of Platinum product.  This project gave us a good opportunity to work with a well-known commercial architect and structural engineer, helping them learn and understand how to integrate our product into existing struc­tures. 

Another commercial application is a single story office building in Tampa.  This project allowed us to work closely with another set of architects, engineers and a new commercial contractor and the word about Platinum continues to spread!

Platinum is also working on project plans for many more commer­cial applications, including a mid-size retail shopping building, a mid-rise residential project in Saudi Arabia which would use Plati­num panels as the curtain walls, an office condominium, ware­house condominiums, and a retail strip center.

If you are interested or know of any upcoming residential or com­mercial projects that are looking to use the best in today’s building technology, contact us today!

More on Polyurethane...

“Closed-cell, high-density polyurethane has been around for decades, but it has changed considerably in the past 15 years as ozone-depleting CFCs were replaced first with HCFCs and, more recently, with an ozone-safe HFC...Closed-cell polyure­thane insulates to between R-5.8 and R-6.8 per inch—considerably higher than any other cavity-fill option—and ad­heres tightly to wood and other materials, forming an excellent air and vapor barrier. In some parts of the country, closed-cell polyurethane is used as an exterior insulated roofing that is fin­ished with a durable, UV-resistant elastomeric coating.”
