Calgary sustainable building material manufacturer ZS2 Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with modular steel home builder SEED Homes.
Under the partnership, SEED Homes will incorporate ZS2’s magnesium cement TechBoard into all their designs demonstrating a shared commitment to action sustainable, and innovative construction.
This collaboration follows SEED Homes’ recent project win to provide state of the art modular homes to Nunavut and ZS2’s $1.1 million funding from Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation to advance affordable housing innovations.
Both initiatives address the critical housing shortage in Canada, where an estimated 3.5 million homes are needed by 2030 to restore affordability.
“In ZS2 Technologies, SEED Homes has found a partner that shares our vision for innovation, technological advancement, and novel approaches to age-old housing challenges,” says Steve Morgan, CEO at Calgary’s SEED Homes.
“All materials that SEED Homes use are carefully chosen to advance our mission to build state of the art, yet affordable, and resilient homes. ZS2’s magnesium cement technology is no exception. Fire resistant, water resistant, and long lasting; a perfect material to support SEED Homes’ design ethos.”
ZS2, a leader in magnesium (MgO) cement technology, leverages proprietary material science to deliver high-performance building materials with unmatched durability and fire resistance and a low carbon footprint.
TechBoard replaces traditional sheathing products like plywood, OSB, or drywall with a fire-, mold-, and water-resistant solution, and boasts increased structural capacities, enhancing the overall longevity of the buildings.
ZS2’s manufactured MgO products, such as TechBoard, have a third of the carbon footprint compared to conventional building materials, providing climate-resilient and environmentally responsible alternatives without compromising on performance.
