Structurally Insulated Panel Stem Wall

Thermocore wall panels are completely structural and can be substitute for conventional framing in most applications.

Structurally insulated panel stem wall.

Prescriptive method for structural insulated panels sips in construction foundation wall. Includes basement stem and crawlspace walls. Sips do an impressive job of slowing down the transfer of heat air and vapor through the assembly. Structural insulated panels sips are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction.

The structural element of a foundation that transmits the load of a structure to the earth. 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. Structural insulated panels are an option for part of the enclosure assembly that can help achieve these goals.

Structural insulated panels sips provide an alternate timber framing solution for external and internal walls roofs and suspended floors. They also dramatically reduce the drying potential of the enclosure lessening its ability to recover from inadvertent water. The finished ground level adjoining the building at all exterior walls. Contractors and architects can avoid the problems of structural insulated panel sip wall construction with fox blocks icfs.

Fox blocks provide superior energy efficiency and moisture and fire resistance compared to sips wall systems.
