	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Zero-Loc, 1nc.; insulated wall panels, ceilings and insulated doors. . This section is based on the products of Zero-Loc, Inc., which is located at:
	5202 272nd Street Langley, BC, Canada V4W 1S3 Tel: (604) 607-1101 Fax: (604) 607-1142 E-mail: sales@zeroloc.com Web: http://www. zeroloc.com [ Click Here ] for additional information.
	Since our establishment in 1969, Zero-Loc has grown to become a major worldwide producer of Insulated Panel and Door Systems. This achievement has been made possible by the dedication of our employees and the belief that giving greater service and value to our customers is essential to success. Zero-Loc's excellent reputation is based on our commitment to providing top quality products and superior customer service. The manufacture of insulated panels is just the beginning. The experienced Zero-Loc team actively participates in each order from manufacturing, and project management. Zero-Loc takes great pride in each completed project, and our warranty and after-sales service is second to none. The Zero-Loc insulated panel system consists of an exclusive brand of Expanded Polystyrene insulation manufactured by Zero-Loc, and a high gloss pre-painted white steel finish that's unique in the panel industry. The Zero-Loc walk-on suspended ceiling system allows maintenance of services above the ceiling while production continues below in a bright, sanitary and hygienic environment. Constructed with Zero-Loc EPS insulated panels, the finished Zero-Loc walk-on suspended ceiling system is energy efficient and durable and is ideally suited for low temperature, food processing, and controlled environment applications. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) may be factory-bonded to the painted steel skins of Zero-Loc EPS insulated panels, offering increased scratch and dent resistance. FRP also protects panels from the frequent rigorous cleaning that is required in maintaining a sanitary environment. Zero-Loc manufactures EPS panels clad with a 26 gauge 2B 304 stainless steel finish on one side or both sides of the panel. Zero-Loc manufactures a line of hinged and manual sliding cooler and freezer doors that contain no wood in the door leafs or frame components, making them ideal for food processing facilities. Zero-Loc doors are known in the industry for their heavy-duty construction, making them the choice of buyers who are looking for a high quality, low maintenance door that will stand the test of time in a high use and abuse environment.
