Insulating boards are just one of the many types of foam insulation.
Foam core wall panels.
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.
For example a 4 panel holds an r value of 28 8.
Foam bonded to twill carbon fiber lightweight high stiffness great for aerospace and automotive applications.
The result is a building system that is strong energy efficient and cost effective.
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.
The most appealing feature of foam insulated panels is that they offer high r values with minimal thickness.
When necessary it is possible to use thicker panels or even assemblies of panels to achieve even higher r values.

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 panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings typically oriented strand board osb.
Consider using spray foam insulation as well to seal smaller cracks and gaps.
Core materials come in thicknesses from 1 2 to 4.
We are also now offering hybrid insulation foam core insulated panels that equate to r 8 for every inch.
This eliminates thermal bridging which is the energy lost through wall studs.
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.

When used in house construction structural insulated panels may make up the primary structural support these panels are strong.
Structural insulated panels sips are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction.
When the finish materials are added the composite wall r value is r 47.
This custom fiberglass panel is a perfect sandwich for any insulated wall panel application.
Woven roving and the exterior coated with high gloss gel coat.
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.
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 two basic types of foam core panels are structural and non structural.
The studs conduct more heat than the insulation between them.
The strength of the sips come from the combination of these materials.
