ZS2 delivers a material system that lowers embodied carbon, cuts lifecycle costs, and reduces project risk. No trade-offs.
ZS2 manufactures magnesium-cement boards and panels domestically. You avoid overseas delays and volatile shipping costs. Their MgO formula uses Canadian industrial by-products and produces roughly one-third of the carbon footprint of traditional cement.

You build faster. Close your envelope sooner. Reduce insurance exposure. The material is validated.
ZS2 replaces OSB, gypsum, and concrete with a fire-resistant, mold-proof, moisture-proof MgO system. Panels integrate insulation, sheathing, and structure. You cut waste. Reduce trades. Eliminate rework at the source.
Improved thermal performance and reduced thermal bridging lower energy bills for the life of the building. That matters when owners care about OPEX.
Panels remain stable, recyclable, and non-toxic at disposal. Long service life means fewer replacements and less landfill.
You get:
Faster construction
Lower insurance risk
Lower embodied carbon
Lower operational carbon
A more durable building
A more attractive asset to lenders, insurers, and buyers
ZS2’s materials support profitability as much as performance.
ZS2 gives you clear material origin, verified performance, and documented environmental impact—everything specifiers need.
ZS2 manufactures its magnesium-cement technology in North America using Canadian industrial by-products. The formulas cut embodied carbon to about one-third of traditional cement. Panels integrate MgO sheathing, framing, and EPS or ROCKWOOL® insulation, so every layer of the assembly is fully traceable.
Every performance claim is backed by certification.

These approvals streamline AHJ review and make spec decisions straightforward.
Replacing OSB, plywood, gypsum, and conventional concrete reduces the carbon impact from day one. Prefabricated assemblies improve the thermal envelope, reduce thermal bridging, and deliver stronger R-value performance over decades. The EPD provides quantified data for LCA, LEED, and code compliance.
ZS2’s MgO matrix is inert, non-combustible, and water-stable. Assemblies resist mold, swelling, and degradation. For fire-zone, hurricane-zone, and flood-zone work, the resilience advantage is substantial.
Systems support modern façades, ventilated cladding, retrofits, and new construction. You get flexible detailing without compromising performance.
MgO components are stable, low-tox, and recyclable. Fewer layers mean less demolition waste and simpler separation.
You get:
Domestic, low-carbon MgO cement
Fully tested assemblies with third-party validation
EPD transparency
Strong moisture, mold, and fire resistance
High-performance thermal envelopes
Clear documentation for compliance and certification
A system you can specify with confidence.
