Today the President and CEO of First National Panel Co., Mr. Ricci D. Null announced the findings of an independent analysis and assessment of the overall structural integrity of FNPN pre-cast light-weight concrete panels for interior/exterior walls used in residential and light commercial building.
The results of the study state clearly that, " ... to date, no known residential building system has been tested or can achieve the performance levels of the FNPN system." The Study, prepared by Ron E. Turcotte, PhD (Engineering-Physics) of Fixxit Consulting Corporation states further that homes constructed with the "top-down anchoring system that FNPN employs ... can withstand 200+ mph sustained winds ... while the individual walls can withstand 300+ mph sustained winds."
The study concludes with a bracing comment that argues, not only do the FNPN panels diminish any viability of substantive competition, but they also validate the integrity of a design that "exceeds the limits of all known test facilities" which evaluate the performance of building products and systems using accepted standards.
"We will continue to strive for the highest quality products at the best possible price," stated CEO Ricci D. Null. " After 30 years of R&D, testing, designing and using the product, we feel that we are finally positioned correctly to take advantage of a growing, new, emerging market in light-weight environmentally-friendly concrete homes offering energy efficiency and real resistance to damage from fire, wind, heat, molds, pests, decay, flying debris, sound, earthquake, floods and water."
The Company plans to aggressively seek out new channels of distribution to provide its products to the natural disaster areas like the Gulf Coast and Greensburg, KS. These areas are still tortured by recovery efforts from hurricane and tornado devastation. Mr. Null also stated that " We can speed up completion of the reconstruction and provide a quality product that is extremely affordable."
