The Pacific SmartWall is just as the name implies, it is a smart wall system. We build the prefab wall panels in Canada and deliver anywhere in the world. Our prefabricated wall panels have superior thermal efficiency and air tightness, reducing sound transmission. It will also shorten framing time, getting the job done times faster than traditional stick frame builds.
There are a number of wall systems on the market offering increased energy efficiency, such as SIPS. These other systems are expensive and change the way the home is built. Building with engineered wall panels requires fewer steps and are much simpler to modify at any time. Our walls are similar to conventional framed walls, with a few key additions.
How it Works
Our walls are designed to minimize thermal bridging. This is the amount of wood directly between inside and outside temperatures. Reducing the wood being used as a thermal bridge, they insulate much better than a standard 2×6 wall. Our wall panels have insulation routered into the wood. Heat loss within the wall cavity is minimized which reaches a more constant R value.
Our wall panels eliminate the ‘dew point’ and reduce the chance of moisture building up in the wall cavity. SmartWall installation is as quick as the building process, with a wire channel built into every wall. Once delivered, assembly is simple. The panels fit together with the floor joists, trusses and each other as easily as a tongue and groove system.
Our Pacific SmartWall’s panels were tested for a full year at BCIT’s Cold Weather Testing Facility. In those tests, they showed superior energy efficiency and reduced moisture build up over time.
Pacific SmartWall® Advantage
THERMAL EFFICIENCY
When compared with conventional 2×6 wood framed walls, the SmartWall allows for considerably less heat loss from inside to outside. Because of this, a custom house built with our system will require much less energy to heat and cool. This will directly benefit you every month by saving you money on your energy bills.
HEALTHIER
We use expanded polystyrene, the most cost effective insulation material, in our walls. Clean, non-toxic, and fire retardant, it does not contain or release any CFC’s or other gases.
QUIETER AND AIRTIGHT
Our unique building process, creates an airtight system that allows for considerably less sound transmission from outside. We have also conducted laboratory tests that show that our wall systems leak considerably less air than that conventional walls do.
EFFICIENT & COST EFFECTIVE
Simplifying the construction needed at the job site results in a house that can achieve lock up in as little as under a week. This reduces the amount of needed labor, building materials and minimizes the waste created by your building project. It also ensures that the house is quickly protected from any harmful weather.
LONGER LASTING
Unlike other types of insulation, there is no sagging or deterioration in the insulation of our prefab wall panels.
SMARTER
Unlike other prefabricated walls, such as SIPs, the Pacific SmartWall includes a cavity within the wall. This space makes it much simpler to implement wiring and plumbing systems. They also allow for renovations to be done in the future, which is not normally possible with such building systems.
ACCURATE
Precision is a Pacific Homes specialty. Our walls are built in our factory to exact specifications, utilizing modern construction technology and machinery.
