|
- The IGBS Modular Frame Building System ("MFBS") meets or exceeds all wind, seismic, snow and drift forces.
- Has UL (Underwriters Laboratories) fire, life and safety ratings for 1, 2, 3 and 4 hour walls.
- Has a superior sound rating (STC) using a single 6" wall - STC 58, 59, 63, & 66.
- Can be used for entry level / single family housing.
- Can be used for mid-rise buildings.
- IGBS Walls are easy & fast to install, primarily as a bolt together system.
