Because of the patented CBS single or double in-line shear wall construction, CBS is able to utilize all types of insulation.

All types of sheeting such as Magnesium Oxide board (MgO), cement board, plywood, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Hardi Board, and all other boards can be used or intermingled in the CBS structural framing system.

In addition to wide varieties of insulation and sheeting, Egis-Panels™ are also able to incorporate any design window or door from any vendor.

The electric boxes in the outside walls can also be factory installed according to print.
