Thermocore earns Patent for Next Generation Building Insulation
Thermocore Panel Systems, Inc. announced today it has earned a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its innovative structural insulated panels (SIPs). These four-inch thick panels are the first in the industry to accommodate standard door and window jambs while providing maximum energy efficiency.

Two New SIPs
A company in Indiana is selling “pre-configured” SIPs — structural insulated panels that are delivered to the job site with the rough window and door openings already cut. The panels, which sandwich urethane foam between OSB sheathing, even come with electrical boxes and 3/4-inch conduit already installed. To order the panels, a builder provides the factory with a standard set of prints or CAD files. At the factory, the panels are manufactured with all of the rough openings cut out and framed with 2x4s. “Because we build each panel in its final shape,” says Patrick Egan, president of Thermocore, the manufacturer of the preconfigured panels, “there is far less waste generated at the job site or the factory.”
