Cementitious Wood Fiber Decks and Interior Products
A cementitious wood fiber product that provides structural integrity and a durable acoustical finish Comprised of Aspen Wood Fibers and a cementitious binder Produced by rolling dried Aspen Wood Fibers through a continuous heated press and spraying with a cementitious binder Tectum Is…
Aspen is harvested by American Excelsior Company, from new growth forests in Wisconsin American Excelsior Company is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiatives (SFI) Program Sustainable Ingredients
Magnesium oxide, obtained from sea water, is mixed with Magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salt) to form the primary binder which is recycled on-site The secondary binder is composed of sodium silicate and calcium carbonate (limestone) All water used in the manufacture of Tectum is captured and recycled Sustainable Ingredients
Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC) up to .80 Can be painted 6 times with no reduction of NRC Allowed in non-combustible construction UL Class 90 and FM 1-90 Wind Uplift Tested Listed by all major building codes Spans up to 8’ Diaphragm tests conducted in accordance to ASTM E455, with values up to 786 lbs/lf Tectum is a GREEN product made from recycled and renewable resources and qualifies for points under the LEEDS program Tectum Design Properties
Energy & Atmosphere (EA) Credit 1: Optimized Energy Performance – Tectum Composite Panels provide high R-values Materials & Resources (MR) Credits 2.1 & 2.2: Construction Site Waste Management – Tectum products are typically cut-to-length at the factory reducing field cuts and waste. Tectum products are shipped without boxing or excessive packaging. Tectum products are biodegradable and can be composted or used for soil amendment MR Credits 4.1 & 4.2: Recycled Content – Tectum products have recycled content ranging from 11%-40% by value MR Credit 7: Certified Wood – Tectum products are made from harvesting new growth Aspen Wood and is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Ceritified Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) Prerequisite 3: Minimum Acoustical Performance (LEED for Schools) -Tectum products offer a durable, low maintenance cost acoustical solution Tectum & LEED
EQ Credit 3.1 & 3.2: Construction IAQ Plans – Tectum products can be field painted, but painting is not required for use and Tectum does not need to be primed EQ Credit 4.1 & 4.4: Low Emitting Materials, Adhesives & Sealants/ Composite Wood & Agrifiber Products – Tectum products do not contain VOC’s or Urea Formaldehyde EQ Credit 10: Mold Prevention (LEED for Schools) - Tectum products do not support the growth of mold or bacteria EQ Credit 11: Low Impact Cleaning and Maintenance Equipment Policy (LEED for Schools) – Tectum products are extremely abuse resistant and intended to last the life of the building. Tectum can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or broom and do not require special cleaning supplies Tectum & LEED
Tectum’s Carbon Footprint Tectum Steel Deck
Tectum’s Carbon Footprint • Tectum requires approximately 600 BTU’s of energy per square foot of material produced • Steel decking requires approximately 12,000 BTU’s of energy per square foot of material produced • Tectum is 20 times more energy efficient to produce than steel, reducing the need for fossil fuels and the CO2 produced by burning them Energy Consumption per Square Foot of Material Produced BTU’s of Energy
Tectum’s Carbon Footprint • Tectum is produced from new growth Aspen harvested every 15-20 years • After harvesting, Aspen Trees regenerate from existing root systems • Aspen fix carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing green house gases • One ton of lumber used in construction results in the release of 30 kg of carbon and the storage of 250 kg of carbon • One ton of steel used in construction results in the release of 700 kg of carbon and the storage of 0 kg of carbon
Noise Control Tectum Roof Deck Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) 1.5” Tectum – 0.55 2.0” Tectum – 0.60 3.0” Tectum - 0.80
