SIP's
Design
Manufacturing At Thermal Foams, Inc. 30,000 SF Lamination and fabrication facility, exposure 1 rated oriented strand board (OSB) facers are adhesively welded to expanded polystyrene cores which are produced in Thermal Foams 120,000 SF EPS plant. The 8'x24' finished SIPs may be cut to the required wall, roof, or floor sizes. Vertical and horizontal wire chases are located within each panel to meet all wiring needs. Testing All SIP components and production operations are held to tight third-party quality control procedures monitored by UL and PFS/TECO. Comprehensive testing and engineering evaluation are the basis for our construction details, engineering guidelines, insulation values, and fire resistance systems so Thermal Foams SIPs are properly used for roofs, exterior walls, and floors in every project. All testing has been conducted at code recognized laboratories and evaluated by registered engineers and consultants. Environmental Advantages
Thermal Foam EPS insulation
Heating and Air Conditioning AdvantagesThermal Foam SIP's provide a superior insulation envelope for exterior walls, floors and roofs/ceilings. The rigid EPS core blocks wind and moisture movement. SIP's provide optimum comfort for temperature, noise and dust control. Heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems can be downsized with Thermal Foam SIP's. Thermal Foam SIP's do not require extensive use of solid lumber studs which cause thermal shorts and reduce energy efficiency in framed structures. Full-scale thermal testing and computer modeling has demonstrated the efficiency of Thermal Foam SIP's. The tests confirm the energy benefits of Thermal Foam SIP's solid core of EPS insulation and connection details. Thermal Foam SIP's energy benefits are at work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Lower operating costs result in more marketable homes and commercial buildings. Why select Thermal Foam SIPs? Thermal Foams, Inc. is a company of more than 50 experienced employees, each with a "can-do" attitude, 150,000 SF of factory and office space, state of the art production equipment, and computers with advanced software everywhere.

Thermal
Foam SIP's are 30-50% more energy efficient than traditional wall
construction. SIP's are a strong engineered system consisting of
Expanded Polystyrene insulation laminated between oriented-strand board
(OSB), forming an engineered panel that can be used for exterior walls,
roofs and floors. Their used world-wide for new houses, additions,
freezers, coolers, commercial construction and more. Panels are
available from 4'x8' to 8'x24' and can be factory fabricated to be
site-erected quickly. We also offer non-engineered nail-base panels that are often installed above structural
metal or wood planking roof decks to provide insulation and a surface
for attaching roofing materials.
Thermal
Foams experienced technical design and estimating staff uses the latest
CAD software to prepare accurate cost quotations, submittal and final
drawings, material lists, and fabrication cut sheets. This insures
that architectural plans are properly converted into SIP's that meet all project specifications. We also
assist owners, architects, and contractors with guidance in the many
technical issues, construction details and site considerations that
result in successful projects, satisfied clients, and repeat uses of
Thermal Foam SIP's.
