Yes, we do. We have pre-set sizes, but we can custom build just about any size. Our panels are in 4ft modules and are easily cut if required.

We have the easiest system on the market. Our aluminum wall and ceiling extrusions have a channel to accept 3/8 inch stainless steel bolts to attach virtually any item that requires hanging without compromising the integrity of the enclosure envelope.
Our modular panels are constructed at our facility in Western Canada with only the best materials possible. In a factory setting tolerances are exact which is difficult to achieve in the field. The glues, are allowed to cure properly without slowing down the construction as it would onsite. There is no mess at your facility, as the panels and extrusions are packaged on pallets and wrapped for security and cleanliness.
Using our product for the operation would give your company the best chance at passing the inspections.
We have the only integral mounting system for the lights and other appliances you would want to hang or suspend in the room. All this is done with no piercing of the room's inside envelope that could cause a route of entry for pests, spores, pollen, and bacteria.
Our FRP inside panels will withstand most chemical cleaning agents, as long as they are used appropriately.
Our system allows the user to have positive pressure in the enclosure to reduce the effect of airbourne contaminates.
All of our products are UV resistant and under normal operating conditions will not be affected. However, if you use the stick frame method and attach FRP on site, the cove and H style joining mouldings must be UV protected. Too many times we have seen the interior mouldings discolour and crack causing huge issues with the governing health officials. To repair these issues the FRP would have to be removed and the mouldings replaced, and then repeat the cycle, every time it happens.
We use a proprietary aluminum extrusion that incorporates a slot for attachments and a U-shaped channel to accept the laminated panel. Being a factory manufactured product, the tolerances are very tight to accept the panel. Caulking can be applied to the channel as they are assembled to give the enclosure an extra seal.
There are 5 different types of FRP panels. All have good characteristics, but at the end of the day they must be UV stable, chemical resistant, cannot promote growth of any mold, rot or bacteria. Our system is UL Greenguard standard GOLD rating. UL.com/GG. UL 2818.
No, they do not other than anchoring them to the floor. Our enclosures can be totally free standing just like putting a box in the middle of a warehouse. The ceiling grid can be supported by installing post inside the room or suspended from the ceiling of the main building. If it is not attached in anyway to the building, it could be classed as a temporary structure and can be disassembled and moved or altered.
Yes, there is. The caulking must be of a silicone variety that is fungus mould resistant and anti-microbial. Failure to use the appropriate product Could cause unwanted mould and fungi. Make sure the caulking is not affected by UV light. After all, that’s what we need to grow and if the caulking fails so could your crop.
The short answer is no, but if you want to control the growing environment it is a necessity. Having an insulated enclosure retains more heat and reduces energy cost. Most outdoor growing have very little control over heat other than opening a vent or having a fan blow. Insulated indoor grow rooms are very easy to control heat and humidity.
Modular systems are much more cost effective as they are built with generally a small team of installers that can work on site faster and with less mess and debris.
