Build It Once.
Build It Right.

Conventional framing was designed for the 20th century. MgO structural insulated panels, cold-form steel, and carbon-negative cement technology are designed for the next 100 years. Paladin brings these systems to DFW — with the expertise to install them correctly.

The Case for MgO Construction

What Conventional
Construction Leaves Out

Wood framing is vulnerable to fire, moisture, mold, and pests. Standard drywall provides minimal insulation and zero structural value. The result is a building envelope that underperforms from day one.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) changes the equation. ZS2 Technologies — the first company to domesticate MgO production in North America — has proven that MgO cement outperforms conventional materials across every critical dimension: fire resistance, moisture resistance, structural integrity, and carbon footprint.

The System Architecture

Three Components.
One Superior Envelope.

🏗
Cold-Form Steel

Structural stability without the vulnerability of wood. Dimensionally consistent, termite-proof, and engineered to precise tolerances for faster assembly.

🧱
MgO Sheathing

Magnesium oxide boards replace OSB and standard drywall. Fire resistant, mold resistant, dimensionally stable — and a fraction of the carbon footprint.

🌡
Integrated Insulation

Minimal thermal bridging built into the panel assembly. The result is a tighter building envelope from day one — no retrofitting required.

The Products Behind
The Science

01
TechBoard®
MgO Sheathing · Structural

The MgO sheathing board that replaces conventional OSB and drywall. Superior fire ratings, moisture resistance, and structural performance in a single panel.

  • Replaces OSB & standard drywall
  • Fire resistant — Class A rating
  • Mold & mildew resistant
  • Lower carbon footprint than gypsum
02
TechPanel®
3-in-1 MgO Structural Assembly

The complete structural assembly in one manufactured solution — framing, insulation, and MgO sheathing combined. Proven across multifamily, hotels, and single-family projects.

  • Framing + insulation + sheathing in one
  • Faster build timelines
  • Verified fire ratings & assemblies
  • Commercial & residential applications
03
TechClad™
Exterior Cladding System

The exterior cladding solution that completes the MgO building envelope. Weather-resistant, dimensionally stable, and designed for long-term performance in DFW's demanding climate.

  • Completes the TechPanel system
  • Impact & weather resistant
  • Dimensional stability in heat & cold
  • Multiple finish options
04
CO₂ Capture Technology
Carbon-Negative · CCUS

ZS2 turned CO₂ into a key ingredient in MgO cement production — making it the first carbon-negative cement technology in North America. Building with purpose, not just performance.

  • Carbon capture utilization & sequestration
  • First North American domestic MgO production
  • Reduces construction carbon footprint
  • Meets emerging green building standards
🔥
Fire Resistant

MgO is inherently non-combustible. Class A fire ratings across the system.

💧
Mold & Moisture Resistant

Impervious to the moisture and mold vulnerabilities of wood framing.

Faster Builds

Prefabricated panel systems reduce on-site labor and speed timelines.

🌿
Carbon-Negative

The only North American cement technology that sequesters CO₂ as part of production.

🌡
Tighter Envelope

Minimal thermal bridging means lower energy costs from day one — for the life of the building.

Advanced Systems
At Work

SIP panels and ReveCork thermal coatings working together — this is what an integrated high-performance building envelope looks like in practice.

Systems Integration
SIP Panels &
ReveCork Together

This is the Paladin difference — we don't install one product in isolation. MgO structural panels combined with ReveCork thermal coating creates a building envelope that is fire resistant, thermally superior, and built to outlast anything conventional construction offers.
