We provide valuable resources for your EPS project.
What is an Energy Panel Structure?
Structural Insulated Panels join high performance rigid foam insulation to Oriented Strand
Board (OSB) or plywood. The thickness of foam are adjusted to increase
R-Value. As labor
sources become more scarce and costs increase in the future, building with Structural
Insulated Panels will become the preferred building system. Exterior and interior facings are
shown with standard OSB. CCX plywood is used when laminating aluminum, steel or FRP.
Drywall is field applied as needed. The first Solid
Core type construction was made in 1935
and the buildings are still in use today,
nearly 70 years later.
Why EPS?
Energy Efficient
The EPS (Expanded polystyrene) insulation is solid and does not allow air movement, resists
water whereas batt insulation absorbs water. Stick frame has framing thermal shorts but
Structural Insulated Panels don't. The closed cell panel prevents dust and allergens from
penetrating the building.
Cost Efficient
EPS offers the most cost effective solution to lowering
building heating and cooling costs.
Faster Construction
Pre-made panels take less time to assemble than traditional
stick-built, significantly decreasing
the amount of time your
project is under construction.
Strength
Much larger clear spans can be designed than with stick-built
as the load is distributed over the
entire panel.
