Our mission is to deliver high-performance building solutions that enable energy-efficient homes and businesses while reducing construction time, waste, and environmental impact. With over two decades of experience in the industry, Thermocore remains committed to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.

SIPs: The World's Most Energy-Efficient Way to Build

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are high-performance building panels that offer a superior alternative to traditional stick framing for residential and commercial construction. SIPs consist of a thick layer of foam insulation sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). These panels provide exceptional insulation, structural strength, and air tightness, resulting in buildings that are more energy-efficient, durable, and comfortable.

Homeowner Benefits

Thermocore SIPs provide numerous benefits for homeowners, including:

• *Energy Savings*: SIPs can save homeowners up to 60-80% on energy usage compared to stick-frame construction due to reduced air leakage and improved thermal performance. This results in lower heating and cooling costs, a smaller HVAC system, and faster return on investment.

• *Sustainability*: Building with SIPs leads to 30% less lumber usage and 45% lower CO2 emissions per year. This not only saves homeowners money but also reduces their environmental footprint.

• *Indoor Air Quality*: SIPs' superior air tightness results in improved indoor air quality, reduced drafts, and enhanced comfort.

Builder & General Contractor Benefits

Thermocore SIPs offer numerous benefits for builders and general contractors, including:

• *Lower Labor Costs*: SIPs cut labor costs by 55% and reduce framing time by 60%. Electrical installation is also faster, as wiring can be installed 20-30% quicker.

• *Increased Productivity*: Frame and insulate in one step, allowing builders to reach the dry-in phase up to 50% faster.

• *Reduced Job Waste*: Thermocore panels are pre-cut, which significantly reduces job site waste. This saves landfill costs and minimizes waste disposal needs.

The Thermocore Advantage

Thermocore SIPs are manufactured using polyurethane foam, which provides a higher R-value per inch compared to expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. This leads to a shorter payback period on your investment, lower HVAC costs, and more money in your pocket:

• *R-value*: Thermocore panels have an R-value of 6.9 per inch, while EPS panels have an R-value of only 3.5 per inch.

• *Built-in Electrical Components*: Thermocore panels come complete with electrical boxes and conduit installed, eliminating expensive labor upcharges associated with EPS panels.

• *Custom Cut Panels*: Thermocore includes custom cut panels, door and window bucks, headers, electrical boxes, and conduit at no extra charge.

• *Safer Foam Core*: Thermocore's foam core is self-extinguishing and will never melt, ensuring a safer building process and long-term protection for you and your family.
