Technology Pacific SmartWall®
Pacific SmartWall® is a prefabricated wall system that simplifies your build and offers significant advantages over other construction methods.
Proven increases in thermal efficiency and air tightness combined with increased indoor air quality, reduced sound transmission and shorter framing times – that’s the Pacific SmartWall® Advantage.
There are a number of wall systems on the market offering increased energy efficiency, such as SIPS or ICF. But these other systems are expensive, change the way the home is constructed and make finishing or modifying the home a potential challenge. The Pacific SmartWall® is a conventionally framed wall, with a few key additions. Home builders benefit from significantly reduced framing times and cost – up to 40% cheaper per square foot than ICF.
The Pacific SmartWall® offers unmatched energy efficiency, making it a top choice for homeowners looking to save on utility costs and reduce their carbon footprint. The unique wall system combines advanced framing techniques with high-performance insulation materials, creating a highly insulated and air-tight building envelope.
What sets The Pacific SmartWall® apart from other energy-efficient systems is its versatility. While other methods may restrict design possibilities or make modifications difficult, our conventional framing approach allows for more flexibility in construction and customization. Homeowners can still choose their desired exterior finish, whether it be traditional siding or modern stucco.
In addition to its impressive thermal performance, Pacific SmartWall® also offers superior soundproofing abilities. The high-performance insulation materials used in our system effectively block out external noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.

The Pacific SmartWall® System is framed in 2×6, 2×8 or 2×10 widths:
How It Works Pacific SmartWall®
A Pacific SmartWall® minimizes thermal bridging, this is the amount of wood that acts as a bridge between outside and inside temperatures.
By reducing the amount of wood that can act as a thermal bridge the Pacific SmartWall® insulation performance is far higher than a conventionally framed 2×6 wall. This is achieved by thermally breaking the framing components where possible. The insulation is actually routered into the wood. Heat loss within the wall cavity is virtually eliminated and a more constant R-value is achieved.
Additionally, in a Pacific SmartWall® the ‘dew point’ is eliminated, greatly reducing the possibility of moisture buildup within the wall cavity. In a conventional wall, warm moist air permeates through the wall cavity from warm to cold. The moisture in this warm air then condenses when it meets the colder part of the wall – typically 2/3 of the way through a conventional wall. This can potentially cause problems.
Pacific SmartWall® was tested for a full year at BCIT’s Cold Weather Testing Facility. Pacific SmartWall® demonstrated superiority in terms of both energy efficiency and reducing moisture build-up over time when compared to conventional framed walls.
