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.
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.
Structural stability without the vulnerability of wood. Dimensionally consistent, termite-proof, and engineered to precise tolerances for faster assembly.
Magnesium oxide boards replace OSB and standard drywall. Fire resistant, mold resistant, dimensionally stable — and a fraction of the carbon footprint.
Minimal thermal bridging built into the panel assembly. The result is a tighter building envelope from day one — no retrofitting required.
The MgO sheathing board that replaces conventional OSB and drywall. Superior fire ratings, moisture resistance, and structural performance in a single panel.
The complete structural assembly in one manufactured solution — framing, insulation, and MgO sheathing combined. Proven across multifamily, hotels, and single-family projects.
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.
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.
MgO is inherently non-combustible. Class A fire ratings across the system.
Impervious to the moisture and mold vulnerabilities of wood framing.
Prefabricated panel systems reduce on-site labor and speed timelines.
The only North American cement technology that sequesters CO₂ as part of production.
Minimal thermal bridging means lower energy costs from day one — for the life of the building.
As a specialized distributor and installer of MgO Structural Insulated Panels paired with cold-form steel framing, Paladin empowers luxury custom homes, architectural estates, and commercial developments with a superior building envelope system. This precision-engineered solution redefines new construction and major expansions across North Texas.
MgO SIPs sandwich high-performance insulation between magnesium oxide boards, creating a continuous, airtight thermal barrier with inherent structural integrity far beyond conventional framing. The result is a building that performs at a level conventional wood-frame construction simply cannot reach — tighter, stronger, more efficient, and built to last.
For new builds in the DFW region, MgO SIPs directly address local challenges of heat, humidity, severe storms, and rapid development schedules — while delivering the airtight performance demanded by forward-thinking architects and educated owners who expect more from their buildings.
MgO is inherently non-combustible. The entire panel system carries Class A fire ratings — no additional treatment required. Critical in Texas's wildland interface communities.
Unlike wood framing, MgO panels are impervious to the moisture and mold vulnerabilities that compromise conventional construction — critical in North Texas humidity.
40–60% greater efficiency through elimination of thermal bridging and the continuous high R-value of SIP construction — delivering lower energy costs from the first day of occupancy.
Prefabricated panel systems reduce on-site labor by 40–60% — enabling earlier occupancy, faster revenue generation, and reduced carrying costs for developers and custom home clients.
ZS2 Technologies produces the only North American MgO cement that sequesters CO₂ as part of its production process. Reduced material waste and construction noise support sustainable development goals.
MgO SIPs integrate directly with WaterFurnace geothermal systems, ReveCork thermal coatings, and Impermatek membranes — enabling true net-zero or high-performance outcomes under one Paladin engagement.
SIP panels and ReveCork thermal coatings working together — this is what an integrated high-performance building envelope looks like in practice.
MgO structural panels combined with ReveCork thermal coating — fire resistant, thermally superior, built to outlast conventional construction.
SIP panels deliver superior structural performance and insulation in a single engineered assembly — dramatically reducing build time and improving the thermal envelope from day one.
As an authorized Impermitek dealer, Paladin installs the Stormcure liquid membrane system for seamless, fully adhered waterproofing on roofs, decks, and building envelopes.
Whether you're a homeowner planning a custom build, a contractor specifying materials, or a developer breaking ground — Paladin can help you understand if MgO systems are right for your project.
