Thermocore™ structural insulated panels are high-quality foam core
panels that may be used in
exterior wall and roof systems. They are a one-piece product that is designed
to enclose timber
frame structures, log structures and other types of conventional home. These
panels provide
superior support and insulation properties while reducing installation time.
Basic Structure
We custom-manufacture each panel to house plans or architect's drawings
by injecting high-
quality polyurethane between two sheets of oriented strand board. The polyurethane
acts as its
own adhesive, providing a strong, consistent bond across the entire panel.
We design the panels
to include features like preinstalled corners, door bucks, window bucks, subfacia
and electrical
conduit boxes to ensure the quality of construction while drastically reducing
the time involved.
Physical Properties
Overall Thickness
Thermopanel wall 4" (When combined with 1/2" drywall, accepts standard
window jambs,
allowing faster, better-looking installation.)
Structural wall 4 1/2"
Roof 6 7/16" (+/- 1/16")
Inner/Outer Skin
7/16" Oriented strand board (a structural, exterior-rated composite board).
INSULATION CORE
We use a Class I fire rated closed-cell polyurethane foam that contains no
formaldehyde or CFCs.
Polyurethane foam is a thermoset plastic which does not melt and maintains
structural integrity
until consumed. It is far more fire-resistant than most conventional building
materials.
Polyurethane foam does not promote the growth of mold, and serves as its own
vapor barrier.
It's a common, proven building product that is found in most homes and
on store shelves.
