Exterior envelope

Polar Wall insulation

Advanced exterior panel system for a continuous thermal envelope — passive house, net-zero, and energy-efficient construction in extreme climates.

Exterior insulation wraps the structure — bridges moved outside the heated line
  • Structural strength + moisture control in one panelized system
  • Streamlined install for new builds and deep retrofits
  • Factory-ready modules pair with Polar Maxima kit homes

Below grade

Polar Guard Foundation

Insulated formwork integrating footing and foundation walls — strength during pour, later-season placement, and eliminated thermal bridging at the footing joint.

Single pour sequence

Footing and walls formed as one interconnected system — faster, stronger placement even in later seasons.

XPS stays in place

HD panels hold concrete during pour and remain as continuous insulation — no thermal bridge at the footing joint.

Drainage ready

Designed cavity preserves room for waterproofing and perimeter drainage without breaking the envelope.

Above the structure

Polar Roof

Continuous thermal envelope above the structure — comfort and efficiency for passive, net-zero, and sustainable roofs from tiny homes to multi-storey.
