Green houses near MAS™ units will be great idea.

Posted by:

What does this have to do with MAS™? If a customer wants a green house tell them to go buy one. If your MAS Distributor wants to include green houses in their project proposal there is nothing preventing a MAS Distributor from working on a project that would include a green house.

What is MASKanX™ and how do I use it.

Posted by:

MASKanX™ is a patent pending revolutionary solution to interior partitions. MASKanX™ allows for the use of freestanding and movable wall partitions that can take full advantage of the non impeded interior spans of the MAS™ system.  These 100% clear spans allow for non-bearing interior partitions which would not be possible with conventional construction. With the MASKanX™ solution, the home owner can reconfigure the interior to add or remove rooms, re-size rooms or other living spaces in a matter of ...

What do you mean by “equivalent R value”?

Posted by:

MAS™ along with others find equivalent R-value to be a useful way to summarize the energy efficiency of a MAS™ structure. Since there is wide spread confusion between a “conventional R-value” and an “equivalent R-value” it is important to understand the difference.  There are a few important cautions. First, equivalent R-value is not the same as the conventional R-value and you shouldn’t pretend it is.

A MAS™ structure can be built with 3rd party insulation products which typically use OPEN cell panel insulation ...

Is there a modification that would allow the structure to be underground, or at least partly underground, with southern exposure?

Posted by:

The MAS™ system has the potential to be used in a “retaining” wall situation where the unites are place IN a sloped embankment.  This application WOULD require waterproofing AND additional structural engineering based upon the forces of the “dirt” to be held up.  It is likely that additional concrete AND re-bar would be required.

Concrete turns gray and cracks. How is cracking controlled on the MAS™ structures?

Posted by:

The MAS™ system uses shotcrete and due to the application in layers, shotcrete does not have cold joints.  Shotcrete creates a much stronger bond and because of the consolidation during the application process and the resulting strength, cracks are unusual.  Any cracks over time would be superficial and not structural.  MAS™ guarantees this!

Most users texture the concrete with stamping and thus the graying effect is minimized.  Also, the use of color in the final 1/4″ to 1/2″ layer is very ...

Are the MAS™ structures domes?

Posted by:

NO.

Domes are great structures and very strong, however the MAS™ structures are NOT domes.  The MAS™ system uses bisecting dual arches that form a crown at the very top area.  The corners are square and, other than the arches, the interior walls are vertical and not curved like in a dome.

The MAS™ system is NOT a Dome Home, but sometimes is referred to as a “home with a dome” due to the “dome look” of the crown formed by the bisecting arches at ...
