Quantum — Panel Systems Hero

One envelope. Three ways to build it.

Quantum Panel Systems

High-performance prefabricated wall, roof and floor systems for new construction and deep-energy retrofits — wood-framed, low-carbon, or non-combustible.

Quantum — Look Inside the Panel

The assembly

Look inside the panel

Every Quantum panel arrives as one piece, with these layers already assembled in the factory. Pick a system, then pick a layer.

Choose a system

Maximum thermal performance, for new construction.

THX carries a 3.5″ service cavity on the warm side of the air barrier, so wiring and plumbing never puncture it. That's what takes the wall to R-61.1 — and why selected configurations are PHI certified for cold climates.

Best for New homes · Multi-family · Commercial · Passive House & Net Zero

01 Wood-framed service cavity

A 3.5″ cavity on the warm side for wiring and plumbing, so services never puncture the airtight layer. Left empty or insulated, depending on the project.

02 Primary air & vapour control

A continuous membrane controlling air movement and vapour diffusion. Because it is installed in the factory, the critical air barrier is built under controlled conditions before the panel reaches site.

03 OSB sheathing

Structural sheathing that also creates the surface the air control layer is sealed to.

04 Double stud cavity & insulation

The main insulated cavity. PHI-certified 12″ and 16″ configurations, which with the service cavity give clear-field R-values from 38.5 to 61.1.

05 Weather-resistive rainscreen

Protects the wall from rain and wind while letting moisture dry toward the outside, so the insulation stays protected and the assembly can still breathe.

06 Universal strapping

A consistent fixing surface for cladding in any direction, without adding framing on site.

07 Preinstalled exterior cladding Optional

Fitted at the factory to roughly 80% coverage — ACM, fibre cement, composite or engineered wood.

Quantum — Compare the Three Systems

Side by side

Compare the three systems

Same units, same rows, all three at once. If you already know whether you're building new or upgrading what's there, the first row narrows it to one or two.

1 “Not published” means the figure isn’t on that system’s current data sheet — not that it was tested and failed. A short dash means the feature isn’t part of that assembly. Clear field thermal resistance and heat transfer modelled using glass wool insulation with 30–50% recycled content. Certification applies to panel components, not to a finished building. Custom depths and assemblies are project specific.

Still deciding between two of them? Tell us the building, the climate zone and what you’re targeting, and we’ll tell you which system fits — in about fifteen minutes.
