High-density Closed-cell Foam SIPs

RAYCORE

RAYCORE SIPs patented wall panels and roof panels are not a sandwich panel, relying on OSB and glue adhesive to provide the structure of your home. For code purposes, these SIPs—with integrated studs—are considered conventional framing and fall under the provisions of the IRC Section 6, when applicable to wall framing. The panels feature:

  • Studs: century-old tried and true framing materials
  • High-tech Materials: Custom blended closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation
  • Foil radiant barrier

Thermally Efficient Forms

Thermally Efficient Forms

Omni Block

Omni Block utilizes locally quarried, abundant, readily available, indigenous raw materials with low embodied energy counts during the manufacture of the block units. The EPS inserts are made of UL listed non-toxic, chemically stable, CFC-free, VOC-free materials, and have an extremely low flame-spread. The block is a thermally efficient “whole wall” because it combines R-value, the effects of thermal mass, thermal lag, thermal damping, and air-tightness, which result in a passive solar technology. All block and insert material are 100 percent recyclable. There is zero formaldehyde content in any of the components. For more information, visit omniblock.com.

Premier SIPs

These structural panels combine structure, insulation and air barrier within one engineered solution. This enables builders to take a “systems approach” and eliminates the need for separate schedules and crews for framing the building, installing insulation and completing the air barrier. In a commercial or institutional building, this can remove weeks off the production schedule. For more information, visit premiersips.com.
