Techstyle Materials logo + Cleantech Open

Techstyle Materials provides smart building materials for the construction industry.

Our proprietary multifunctional material coatings make buildings more energy efficient, healthful, and durable by passively managing flows of heat and water vapor. Deployed in wall panels, sheathing, and roofing products, our technology will reduce the energy consumed by buildings for heating and cooling, reduce the risks of mold, rot, and other water-related problems, and stabilize the interior humidity at healthy and comfortable levels.
