Murus Company | Structural Insulating Panels
Today, Murus SIPs are utilized by a large number of timber framers throughout the country as an integral part of their package offerings. Murus insulating panels have numerous features that make installation over timber frame structures faster, easier, and more energy efficient than conventional framing methods. A variety of panel skins, panel thicknesses, and lengths ensures the right product for the job. The outstanding energy performance, superior strength, and design flexibility that Murus SIPs provide have made them an increasingly popular building material for timber frames and hybrid structures.
With R-values ranging from R-16 to R-45, depending upon the type of foam core and thickness chosen, Murus SIPs create a tight, energy efficient building envelope to surround your timber frame and maintain a consistently comfortable living environment. • Murus Polyurethane SIP foam is safe to humans and the environment and does not contain formaldehyde, CFC’s, HCFC’s, or other ozone-depleting compounds It is an organic material made from petroleum by-products and recycled materials. Murus Polyurethane foam provides the highest R-value per inch of thickness of any SIP foam core available.
• The molded tongue and groove edge profile assures quick, proper alignment of panel-to-panel joints. Once installed and sealed with spray foam, the result is a continuous uniformity of insulation that is lacking in spline connection systems. • A standard electrical chase is embedded horizontally in the foam core during manufacture. Three standard chase height options are available. Additional chase heights can be added. • Murus Polyurethane SIPs are backed by a lifetime warranty against delamination. Contact Murus for complete warranty details. • Murus EPS SIPs are a high quality, competitively priced alternative to conventional construction, offering dependable performance and superior R-values. Murus EPS foam contains no formaldehyde, CFC’s, HCFC’s, or HFC’s. • Murus EPS SIPs are installed using wooden key splines to join the panels together. Typical panel-to-panel connection is achieved using two (interior and exterior) plywood key splines. Panels are manufactured with core dimensions that allow dimensional lumber to be incorporated for additional load-bearing support.
