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 MFI® systems beyond that of the building itself. The thermoset polymer applied to the ThermaBrackets® is also Red List Free, contributing to the system’s overall longevity and sustainability.

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 ThermaBrackets® and fasteners are packaged in reusable plastic containers, and MFI® system rails are shipped without plastic packaging. 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, MFI® systems contribute to building sustainability by achieving 80 to 95% thermal performance efficiency, significantly reducing energy consumption. Made with ZAM®-coated steel, the system is designed to outlast the expected lifetime of the building, ensuring long-term durability. Additionally, the ThermaBrackets® with ThermaStop® isolation technology minimizes thermal bridging, further enhancing the building's energy performance and supporting overall energy efficiency throughout its lifespan.
