Knight Wall Systems® sources steel produced in the United States using a Basic Oxygen Furnace, containing at least 34.2% recycled content. The steel is coated with a ZAM® coating, which is a Red List Free alloy that enhances corrosion resistance and extends the lifespan of our CI® and HCI systems beyond that of the building itself.

Knight Wall Systems® prioritizes sustainability in the transportation practices by utilizing rail car transport for steel, minimizing carbon emissions. We optimize shipping efficiency by maximizing crate capacity and consolidating materials for multiple projects on each flatbed, reducing the number of shipments. Our CI® and HCI systems are packaged using only paper and scrap wood, eliminating single use plastic from our packaging process. To further reduce our environmental footprint, wood crates are locally sourced from Spokane, Washington, supporting regional supply chains and reducing transportation distances.

The majority of Knight Wall Systems® material handling equipment used in our manufacturing processes is electric, helping to reduce emissions. Water-based lubricants are employed in our manufacturing equipment, minimizing the use of harmful chemicals. Additionally, our processes generate minimal waste, with the majority being steel that is then recycled.

Once installed, the CI® and HCI systems contribute to building sustainability by achieving up to 97% thermal performance efficiency, significantly reducing energy consumption. Made with ZAM®-coated steel, these systems are designed to outlast the expected lifetime of the building, ensuring long-term durability. Additionally, with only the fasteners penetrating the insulation, the CI® and HCI Systems are true, code compliant, continuous insulation systems that minimize thermal bridging, further enhancing the building's energy performance and supporting overall energy efficiency throughout its lifespan.
