A ThermaTech panel specimen was placed in a controlled structural loading setup.
All performance + evidence
Panel testing + engineering review
See how the panel was put under load.
These photographs document a ThermaTech panel specimen in a controlled loading rig. The test imagery and the engineering pathway answer different questions, and both are explained here.

The documented setup
Photographs show the specimen and loading apparatus.
They make the testing process visible. They do not, by themselves, publish an allowable load or establish project approval.
How to read the evidence
A test photograph is process documentation—not a design value.
They do not state an allowable load, a passing threshold, code approval, or comparative strength.
From test evidence to a real project
Engineering connects the specimen to the building.
Configuration, connections, loads, and local requirements can change from one project to the next.
- 01
Match the configuration
Confirm the tested or analyzed panel geometry, materials, orientation, boundary conditions, and connections apply.
- 02
Complete project-specific design
The project engineer establishes allowable loads, load paths, connections, bracing, and sealed details for the exact building.
- 03
Obtain local acceptance
The authority having jurisdiction decides whether the submitted alternative-material pathway and project documents are accepted.

Independent thermal modeling
Thermal performance, explained without the jargon.
Intertek modeled two 5.5-inch ThermaTech clear-wall configurations, then compared total heat loss with typical wood- and steel-framed baselines under the report’s stated assumptions.

Mold-spore sampling in two occupied homes and separate TVOC/TMVOC sampling in another residence produced encouraging field observations. The comparisons, terminology, and limits are separated below.
