Structurally Insulated Panel Stem Wall

The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings typically oriented strand board osb.

Sips do an impressive job of slowing down the transfer of heat air and vapor through the assembly. Contractors and architects can avoid the problems of structural insulated panel sip wall construction with fox blocks icfs. Sips are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. Includes basement stem and crawlspace walls.

Prescriptive method for structural insulated panels sips in construction foundation wall. Fox blocks provide superior energy efficiency and moisture and fire resistance compared to sips wall systems. The eps foam core provides excellent insulation which is embedded in the panels and the osb sheathing means the panels can be easily integrated with traditional timber framing fixings such as nails and screws. Also fox blocks icfs allow for more design flexibility and install quicker and easier than sips wall systems.

The structural element of a foundation that transmits the load of a structure to the earth. Structural insulated panels sips are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. Thermocore structural insulated panels are high quality polyurethane foam core panels suitable for exterior wall applications in residential and commercial applications. They also dramatically reduce the drying potential of the enclosure lessening its ability to recover from inadvertent water.
