Installing Insulspan Structural Insulated Panels VideoBob and Ryley check out the Insulspan panels with Frank Baker from Insulspan. The Styrofoam panels save steps in construction since they include structural stability, insulation, sidewall, and interior drywall. Frank explains that his company takes the architectural plans and mathematically constructs the layout and structural engineering for the panel system. Because of the way the panels are constructed, there is no need for studs and the large panel sections create a uniform surface of up to eight feet wide by twenty-four feet long. Bob points out some thicker eight-inch panels that will be used in the ceiling and which will receive a two by eight for structural support. The panels are filled with a R34 polyurethane foam with oriented strand board (OSB) on one side and drywall on the other. The four inch thick sidewall panels are drilled and screwed to the timber framework. Frank explains that his company uses OSB instead of plywood because OSB can be made in much larger sheets. The panels are connected with a plywood spline and foam insert. After a few hours of work the house is ready for windows and a roof.
