2. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   A structural insulated panel, or structural insulating panel, (SIP), is a form of sandwich panel used as a building material in the construction industry. SIP is a sandwich structured composite , consisting of an insulating layer of rigid core sandwiched between two layers of structural board.

3. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

   Sandwich panels are used in applications where a combination of high structural rigidity and low weight is required. The structural functionality of a sandwich panel is similar to the classic I-beam , where two face sheets primarily resist the in-plane and lateral bending loads (similar to flanges of an I- beam), while the core material mainly ...

4. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Insulation may be categorized by its composition (natural or synthetic materials), form (batts, blankets, loose-fill, spray foam, and panels), structural contribution (insulating concrete forms, structured panels, and straw bales), functional mode (conductive, radiative, convective), resistance to heat transfer, environmental impacts, and more.

5. ThermaSAVE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThermaSAVE

   Corner view of ThermaSAVE panel segment abut Completed ThermaSAVE panel awaits destructive testing.. ThermaSAVE is a panel building system which uses a 4 to 12-inch-thick core of expanded polystyrene (similar to Styrofoam) sandwiched between two sheets of cellulose fiber-reinforced cement board varying in thickness from 3/8 to 7/16 inch, depending on structural requirements.

6. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

   A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.

7. Timber framing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

   SIPs are "an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board" according to the Structural Insulated Panel Association. [18] SIPs reduce dependency on bracing and auxiliary members, because the panels span considerable distances and add rigidity to the basic timber frame.
