A New Standard for Resilient Architecture.
KANVAS is not a panel. It is a high-performance, resilient building system engineered for architects and builders who refuse to compromise. Built for the high-end, custom, and green-building markets.
Built Beyond Commodity.
Standard building materials are designed for cost. KANVAS is engineered for performance, creating a new class of building envelope that is stronger, more resilient, and more sustainable.
Unmatched Structural Strength
With a Bending Strength (MOR) nearly double that of OSB, KANVAS systems deliver superior load-bearing capacity for longer, cleaner spans.
Superior Water Resistance
Designed to endure. KANVAS exhibits minimal swell, mitigating the primary failure point of commodity panels—water infiltration, rot, and delamination.
Extreme Fastener Grip
Boasting over 649 lbf of face-screw grip—more than 2X standard plywood. Our system is engineered for superior, face-fastened spline connections.
Performance Beyond Compromise
KANVAS was engineered to outperform. The data from ASTM D 1037 testing illustrates a material in a class of its own, far exceeding commodity OSB, Plywood, and MDF.
| Performance Metric | KANVAS System | Commodity OSB (PS-2) | Plywood (PS-1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bending Strength (MOR) | 9,341 psi | ~4,500 psi | ~6,000 psi |
| Stiffness (MOE) | 1,141,790 psi | ~850,000 psi | ~1,200,000 psi |
| Face Screw Grip (lbf) | 649 lbf | ~250 lbf | ~300 lbf |
| 24-hr Thickness Swell | 7.1% | < 15% (Standard) | ~6% |
| Internal Bond (IB) | 101 psi | ~50 psi | N/A (Solid Plies) |
The Sustainable Choice for Lasting Architecture.
KANVAS is a commitment to a better building future. Our system is built from one of the world's most rapidly renewable resources, offering a high-performance alternative to traditional timber logging.
- Engineered for LEED and high-performance green building standards.
- Creates a tighter, more resilient envelope for superior energy efficiency.
- Designed for durability, reducing the cycle of rebuilding and waste.
