Invented and developed in Edmonton Alberta, Canada, the Polycore building system is an insulated and structural component building product that is revolutionizing the building industry. Sections are made from two materials - EPS (expanded polystyrene) as the insulating wall core, and integrated galvanized steel construction studs for strength. Simple product series are easily adaptable to most commercial or residential building uses including walls, foundation walls, foundation floors and roofs. The system has many unique advantages, significant cost savings, and its ease of installation makes the product less dependant on costly and hard to find skilled trade workers.
