Foam Core Wall Panels

The most appealing feature of foam insulated panels is that they offer high r values with minimal thickness.

Foam core wall panels.

When used in house construction structural insulated panels may make up the primary structural support these panels are strong. The most common structural insulated panel or sip panel sandwich panel sips consist of a foam core insulation material commonly polystyrene sandwiched between two sheets of osb and adhered with a glue. Every inch of foam equates to 7 2 in r value. When weight savings are critical strength is a requirement and quick delivery a must these foam core sandwich panels offer huge advantages over solid composite plates.

Consider using spray foam insulation as well to seal smaller cracks and gaps. The panels provide a continuous energy efficient surface. The studs conduct more heat than the insulation between them. We are also now offering hybrid insulation foam core insulated panels that equate to r 8 for every inch.

The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings typically oriented strand board osb. Core materials come in thicknesses from 1 2 to 4. 2 in x 4 ft x 8 ft 1 faced polystyrene garage door foam board insulation item 15357 model 2x48x96 r tech. Foam bonded to twill carbon fiber lightweight high stiffness great for aerospace and automotive applications.

The two basic types of foam core panels are structural and non structural. This eliminates thermal bridging which is the energy lost through wall studs. Ray core structural insulated wall panels will give you a strong super insulated airtight shell keeping the outdoor elements out and the indoor conditioning in. The result is a building system that is strong energy efficient and cost effective.

All panels are reinforced with either 17 oz. The strength of the sips come from the combination of these materials. We use 6 1 2 thick r 41 panels composed of a 5 1 2 polyurethane core sandwiched between two sheets of 1 2 osb. Structural insulated panels sips are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction.

Extremely affordable when you use raycore sip wall panels you will be able to downsize your heating and cooling system reducing the cost and possibly saving as much as the cost of the panels. A wall with two half inch 12 7 millimeters mm thick osb skins is nearly three times stronger than a conventional 2 4 inch 51 102 mm stud wall. Insulating boards are just one of the many types of foam insulation. When the finish materials are added the composite wall r value is r 47.

When necessary it is possible to use thicker panels or even assemblies of panels to achieve even higher r values. 2 in x 4 ft x 8 ft.
