DELANSON, NY, July 30, 2008 - The patented AccuFrame Green-Seal provides the "Greenest Building System". AccuFrame Green-Seal allows a building to be built on-site with computer accuracy, providing labor savings using 1:1 scale framing templates printed on DuPont ‘Tyvek'. The performance measures builders achieve using AccuFrame Green-Seal are unsurpassed by other systems today. AccuFrame Green-Seal templates have been proven to provide immediate savings of 12-15% in the framing cycle of constructing homes through:

  • Faster framing because each wall layout is computer generated from architectural files. Framing templates generated from those files are printed in permanent ink on DuPont Tyvek.
  • Framing can be accomplished by less skilled labor.
  • Waste reduction becomes immediately evident as an exact size cut list for every framing component is provided with every wall template.
  • The back of the Tyvek wall template is coated with a weather sealing gasket sealing approx. 1,260 lineal feet of unsealed framing and sheathing gaps in a normal 2400 square foot home.

Why is AccuFrame Green-Seal the Greenest Building System?

  • AccuFrame Green-Seal templates are delivered by UPS/FedEx. Our template delivery system is virtually unaffected by rising fuel cost. Or another example, eight thousand AccuFrame homes can be delivered by a single tractor trailer.
  • AccuFrame's template system is the most energy efficient on-site framing method. Corners and partition junctions can be insulated and can easily promote (OVE) Optimum Value Engineering and ‘Stack' framing solutions via the template denotations. These processes have been proven to provide energy savings, material savings, and value to the builder. Additionally; the homebuyer is rewarded by reduced heating and cooling cost over the life cycle of the structure.
  • AccuFrame Green-Seal is a new product that combines the framing savings of the template with a weather sealing gasket. By example, Green-Seal seals approx. 1,260 lineal feet of unsealed framing and sheathing gaps in a normal 2400 square foot home. By sealing these deficient air gaps, insulation can perform at its highest rating by reducing air migration into the insulated wall cavities and conditioned space.
  • Builders can receive AccuFrame Green-Seal templates within days of order placement. Templates can be used for right or left hand building models with no alterations. Last minute change orders or site modification can be easily handled by overriding the system with a Sharpie Pen, making AccuFrame the most flexible system in today's building environment.
  • AccuFrame Green-Seal eliminates the requirement to have a crane or lull-lift machine on-site to lift heavy wall sections. Eliminating costly machinery rentals dramatically reduces costs and overall fuel consumption to build a home. Lumber deliveries can also be made with full loads once again lowering on-site costs to build a home.

Perhaps, the first to embrace early Green strategies were the Egyptians builders knowing that human manpower and innovation is the most effective way to construct structures. This onsite construction trend continues in US housing market today and is the most compelling reason why site-built construction is still the most popular method with the construction masses (approx. 80% of all US housing starts) is because it remains the most flexible and cost effective way to build structures today.

AccuFrame Green-Seal - Why use anything else?

AccuFrame Green-Seal is a production manager's dream invention. Like Henry Ford's assembly line contribution to any manufacturing industry, AccuFrame Green-Seal combines huge labor savings in the framing process by eliminating the need for highly paid framers, providing easy-to-follow templates for less skilled (lower cost) labor, eliminating material waste through cut lists, and incorporating air-gap insulating properties in the framing process automatically.
