Structural insulated panels are used for exterior wall, roof and floor applications.
- Each panel consists of a rigid foam insulation core which is bonded between two layers of rigid sheathing referred to as skins.
- Roof and wall panels systems are available in several R-values, lengths and finishes.
- Insulating R-values can range from R-16 thru R-45.
- Environmentally Responsible the core contains no CFC’s, HCFC’s, HFC’s, or formaldehyde.
