Foam Core Wall Panel

The result is a building system that is strong energy efficient and cost effective.

Foam core wall panel.

Follow with a 2x4 frame wall and insulate it with batt insulation. Structural insulated panels sips are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. 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. The two basic types of foam core panels are structural and non structural.

2 in x 4 ft x 8 ft 1 faced polystyrene garage door foam board insulation item 15357 model 2x48x96 r tech. For example a 4 panel holds an r value of 28 8. Core materials come in thicknesses from 1 2 to 4. 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.

The strength of the sips come from the combination of these materials. Insulated foam sheets are also used as an insulated sheathing underlayment for exterior siding. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings typically oriented strand board osb. Every inch of foam equates to 7 2 in r value.

The most appealing feature of foam insulated panels is that they offer high r values with minimal thickness. Keep in mind that any interior rigid insulating panel must be covered by a barrier. 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. We are also now offering hybrid insulation foam core insulated panels that equate to r 8 for every inch.

When the finish materials are added the composite wall r value is r 47. 2 in x 4 ft x 8 ft. Foam bonded to twill carbon fiber lightweight high stiffness great for aerospace and automotive applications. The panels provide a continuous energy efficient surface.

All panels are reinforced with either 17 oz. 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. 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. When necessary it is possible to use thicker panels or even assemblies of panels to achieve even higher r values.

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. A common choice is drywall.
