tructural insulating panels

While most architects and engineers are versed in the concept of SIPs (generically called foam core

panels or stress sfltin panels ) many homeowners and builders are still unfamiliar with this revolushy

tionary product Here are some fundamentals you should know

The first SIPs were manufacshytured in 1952 by the Dow brothers and were used in the construction of a residence built on the University of Wisconsin campus When the project was completed it was dedicated by Eleanor Roosevelt and is still in use today and in good condition Due to the panel systems phenomenal energy savings and faster close-in times it gained popularity as enclosures for timber frames during the 70s and 80s In the early 90s the SIP market emerged and was led by a few manufacturers such as Murus who tested their product to substantiate strength fire resistance and

The strength of SIPs is intrinshysic and is based on the same principles as structural shapes such as I-beams and stress-skin components such as an airplane wing All th ree (SIPs I-beams and airplane wings) share the same concepts The outer skins or chords (in the case of an I-beam) are held apart and rigid by a center core or web When these components are stressed by bending the core is stressed in shear and the skins are stressed in compression or tension Due to the distance of the skins (or chords) from each other their strength-producshying properties are increased exponentially

SIPs consist of a rigid foam insulation core that is bonded between two layers of rigid sheathing referred to as skins Murus SIPs are manufactured with rated skins and are capable of supporting axial and transshyverse loads Oriented strand board (OSB) is the most widely used skin material for structural applications due to its competitive cost availshyability of sizes and volume produced ass is produced from fast growing renewshyable trees which reduces the strain on our nation s forests

oose Murus structural insulating panels

We manufacture SIPs in a variety of configurations and

in several thicknesses to accommodate virtually every

residential or light commercial application Within this

ompare Common insulating materials used in wall roof and floor construction fall into two general categories fibrous materials (such as fiberglass and cellulose insulations) and foam plastics (thermo-plastics and thermo-set plastics) Polyurethane foam was selected as the core material for Murus SIPs only after studying research data on the properties and values of foam plastics

The Murus rigid polyurethane foam system is a highly advanced state-of-the-art thermo-set plastic formulation While other foams in the same family are often referred to as urethane they are in fact merely chemical cousins to Murus polyurethane Our system is specially designed for use in our exclushysive manufacturing process to achieve high performance in three areas (R-value structural properties and fire resistance) that are critical to producing high-quality SIPs

Our polyurethane foam core and our composite panels have been tested by independent laboratories for structural capability fire petjormance and durability We are enrolled in a voluntary third party quality control insurance program through which our manufacturing facility is routinely yet randomly inspected to verify consistent product quality

Our foam system is listed with a Class I fire rating It polyurethane will begin to burn and quickly produces a will not draw back or melt like thermo-plastiCs such as heavy thick char which is not conducive to burning Once expanded polystyrene (EPS) When exposed to flame the the flame is removed from the foam it will self-extinguish

The properties and characteristics of Murus polyurethane are superior to that of isocyanurate and polyisocyanurate foams typically produced by the lamination method The proprietary Nlurus manufacturing method-Uniform Dispersion Molding (UDM)-is a key component to creating our SIPs superior characteristics The UDM method enhances the properties of the foam and creates the strongest possible bond between the skins The Liquid foam is uniformly dispersed throughout

liqUid foam is uniformly dispersed throughout the mold lIold

the foam expands bonds and cures under 12- J 4 pSi unmatched by any other method UDM produces uniform foam density throughout the panel with spherical cells that give the foam superior and uniform strength as compared to elongated rice shaped cells produced by polyisocyanurate lamination foams

Foam expands bonds alld cures under 12-14 psi

Independent studies show that air infiltration can account for up to 40 of the heat loss in a building The airtightness of a buildshying becomes even more important when considershying overall energy efficiency Air infiltration creates drafts and air stratification (cold floors and hot ceilings) These conditions rob energy and create a phYSically uncomshyfortable living environment The Murus SIP system is 3 to 5 times tighte r than typical construction methods saving energy and creating a controlled comfortable interior living environment

Independent studies demonshystrate that wood andor steel framing members reduce thermal performance of the whole-wall R-value by 20 to 50 over R-values of insulating mate rials measured in-the-wall The Iv]urus SIP system outperforms other systems and methods because it does not reqUire conductive steel or wood framing nor does it reqUire panel-to-panel spline connections

Also known as perm rate water vapor permeability is the ability of water vapor to pass through a material Methods or systems utilizshying insulating materials with high perm rates allow wanted interior moisture to escape under heating conditions (winter) and allow unwanted moisture to enter under cooling conditions (summer) Conventional methods use a vapor barrier to reduce permeability This method is

prone to condensation of vapor into water which affects insu lation values durability and may promote mold growth

Independent studies reveal a mere I moisture content in fibe rglass insulation reduces its effective R-value by 50

The polyurethane foam core in Murus SIPs does not absorb moisture therefore R-values are not reduced due to moisture

Murus SIPs have the highest R-value per inch of any buildshying system available You can use a thinner wall section which reduces the cost of window and door extension jambs plates and nailers and nets more floor space

Installation of an a ir exchange system helps assure a comfortable and healthy living environment

Murus polyurethane foam is safe to humans and the environment It

does not contain formaldehyde CFCs or HCFCs and is 100 organic Murus polyurethane foam key to the Murus SIP system is produced from petroshy

leum by-products and recycled materials

Oriented strand board (OSB) is made of wood

strands from fast-growth trees one of natures most renewable

resources These wood fibers are glued together with durable

resins to provide a solid finish-ready exterior

surface

Our patented cam-lock system saves as much as 30 on

installation time compared to other SIP systems and offers even greater time

savings over stud wall construction It also proVides the most positive seal between

panels virtually eliminating moisture and air-infiltration Cam-locks are located every two feet up the length of the SIP

and in conjunction with the tongueshyand-groove connection create an

exceptionally strong superior building system

The chase is foamed in place during

manufacturing with several chase height

options

Murus SIPs can be site-cut or ordered factory pre-cut on our computerized CNC cutting eqUipment SIPs are then numbered for easy reference during installation Comprehensive instruction manuals are supplied with each order You or your professional contractor can install the SIPs and a Murus Technical Advisor is available if desired Or you can choose to have a Murus-trained crew handle the SIP system installation

The Murus rigid polyurethane foam system is a highly advanced state-of-the-art thermo-set plastic formulation While other foams in the same family are often referred to as urethane they are in fact merely chemical cousins to Murus polyurethane Our system is specially designed for use in our exclushysive manufacturing process to achieve high performance in three areas (R-value structural properties and fire resistance) that are critical to producing high-quality SIPs

Our polyurethane foam core and our composite panels have been tested by independent laboratories for structural capability fire petjormance and durability We are enrolled in a voluntary third party quality control insurance program through which our manufacturing facility is routinely yet randomly inspected to verify consistent product quality

Our foam system is listed with a Class I fire rating It polyurethane will begin to burn and quickly produces a will not draw back or melt like thermo-plastiCs such as heavy thick char which is not conducive to burning Once expanded polystyrene (EPS) When exposed to flame the the flame is removed from the foam it will self-extinguish

durability Today SIPs are used in thousands of projects each year throughout North America and the world

tructural insulating panels

While most architects and engineers are versed in the concept of SIPs (generically called foam core

panels or stress sfltin panels ) many homeowners and builders are still unfamiliar with this revolushy

tionary product Here are some fundamentals you should know

The first SIPs were manufacshytured in 1952 by the Dow brothers and were used in the construction of a residence built on the University of Wisconsin campus When the project was completed it was dedicated by Eleanor Roosevelt and is still in use today and in good condition Due to the panel systems phenomenal energy savings and faster close-in times it gained popularity as enclosures for timber frames during the 70s and 80s In the early 90s the SIP market emerged and was led by a few manufacturers such as Murus who tested their product to substantiate strength fire resistance and

The strength of SIPs is intrinshysic and is based on the same principles as structural shapes such as I-beams and stress-skin components such as an airplane wing All th ree (SIPs I-beams and airplane wings) share the same concepts The outer skins or chords (in the case of an I-beam) are held apart and rigid by a center core or web When these components are stressed by bending the core is stressed in shear and the skins are stressed in compression or tension Due to the distance of the skins (or chords) from each other their strength-producshying properties are increased exponentially

SIPs consist of a rigid foam insulation core that is bonded between two layers of rigid sheathing referred to as skins Murus SIPs are manufactured with rated skins and are capable of supporting axial and transshyverse loads Oriented strand board (OSB) is the most widely used skin material for structural applications due to its competitive cost availshyability of sizes and volume produced ass is produced from fast growing renewshyable trees which reduces the strain on our nation s forests

oose Murus structural insulating panels

We manufacture SIPs in a variety of configurations and

in several thicknesses to accommodate virtually every

residential or light commercial application Within this

brochure youll find important information that will allow

you to make an informed decision when choosing Mums

SIPs for your next building project

As the most technologically advanced building system

available Mums SIPs provide high efficiency in both

installation and insulation value

Murus SIPs can be incorposhyrated into a wide variety of projects and requirements

bull Our limited lifetime warranty backs Murus polyurethane SIPs against delamination between the foam core and skins This protects everyshyone and provides security in knowing you have the best SIPs available

consumed and burned each year

OSB skins used by Murus are made of wood strands from fast-growth trees one of nature s most renewable resources And our polyshyurethane foam is produced from petroleum by-products and recycled materials Murus foam is 100 organic does not contain formaldehyde CFCs or HCFCs If every home in the us were built using Murus SIPs it would save the eqUivalent of apprOXimately 1 billion barrels of crude oil

Save money now You will experience faster construcshytion time when using Murus SIPs Whether constructing a home enclosing a commercial steel structure or roofing a school building because of the composite construction of Murus SIPs you will realize significant savings over field labor and built up systems And the patented camshylocking tongue and groove connection system that is built into our polyurethane SIPs insures an even faster and tighter seal between panels than other SIP systems

Save money later Murus SIPs offer superior insulating values-better than any other commonly available insulashytion and better than other building systems that are plagued by thermal bridging and breaks and air infiltrashytion Our system provides more R-value per inch and virtually eliminates energy robbing air infiltration OUr system reduces wall thickness and reduces the cost of wider

plates and nailers window and door extension jambs and nets more floor space Murus SIPs create the most comfortable structure possishyble and can save 50 percent or more in heating and cooling costs over convenshytional construction

Murus polyurethane foam core has a Class I fire rating-the best available for combustible materials Murus polyurethane will not support combustion and because the foam core is solid there is no cavity in the walls or roof to permit a chimney effect inherent with open cavity construction The Murus SIP system is much stronger than conventional construction techniques providing continushyous structural support and double fastened connection details

Murus SIPs are custom manufactured to your projects unique specificashytions With a variety of interior and exterior skins panel thicknesses and lengths

Total Client Support We belielfe our SIP system is the best way to build your new structure In addition to scientific and research data that unquestionably proves our systems excellent performance every Murus SIP system is backed by our exclusive Total Client Support program This means that you get the expertise of a whole team of technical profeSSionals plus a long list of support services available to you such as

our custom design services which begin with your building

lot your ideas and your desires You may opt to have a

Murus representative visit your building site to assist you

in the planning and pOSitioning of your home Your plans

will culminate with 1 4 scale design drawings

Custom Manufacturing All SIPs are manufactured to each

project s individual specifications and requirements Roof

and wall panels are available in a variety of thicknesses

lengths and skins We will help you choose the panel that

works best for your project

Precut Panels Murus can provide SIPs precut to your

project s specifications using our state-of-the-art computshy

erized CNC equipment Precutting entails cutting of wall

and or roof sections to overall dimensions cutting of

window and door openings and routing of the foam core

to accommodate inlet plates and nailers SIPs are labeled

to correspond to the cutting plans for field identification

Technical Advisor Murus can arrange for a factoryshy

trained Technical Advisor to work with your professional

crew to help get your project started

Page 4: Murus SIP Brochure

oose Murus structural insulating panels

We manufacture SIPs in a variety of configurations and

in several thicknesses to accommodate virtually every

residential or light commercial application Within this

brochure youll find important information that will allow

you to make an informed decision when choosing Mums

SIPs for your next building project

As the most technologically advanced building system

available Mums SIPs provide high efficiency in both

installation and insulation value

Murus SIPs can be incorposhyrated into a wide variety of projects and requirements

bull Our limited lifetime warranty backs Murus polyurethane SIPs against delamination between the foam core and skins This protects everyshyone and provides security in knowing you have the best SIPs available

consumed and burned each year

OSB skins used by Murus are made of wood strands from fast-growth trees one of nature s most renewable resources And our polyshyurethane foam is produced from petroleum by-products and recycled materials Murus foam is 100 organic does not contain formaldehyde CFCs or HCFCs If every home in the us were built using Murus SIPs it would save the eqUivalent of apprOXimately 1 billion barrels of crude oil

Save money now You will experience faster construcshytion time when using Murus SIPs Whether constructing a home enclosing a commercial steel structure or roofing a school building because of the composite construction of Murus SIPs you will realize significant savings over field labor and built up systems And the patented camshylocking tongue and groove connection system that is built into our polyurethane SIPs insures an even faster and tighter seal between panels than other SIP systems

Save money later Murus SIPs offer superior insulating values-better than any other commonly available insulashytion and better than other building systems that are plagued by thermal bridging and breaks and air infiltrashytion Our system provides more R-value per inch and virtually eliminates energy robbing air infiltration OUr system reduces wall thickness and reduces the cost of wider

plates and nailers window and door extension jambs and nets more floor space Murus SIPs create the most comfortable structure possishyble and can save 50 percent or more in heating and cooling costs over convenshytional construction

Murus polyurethane foam core has a Class I fire rating-the best available for combustible materials Murus polyurethane will not support combustion and because the foam core is solid there is no cavity in the walls or roof to permit a chimney effect inherent with open cavity construction The Murus SIP system is much stronger than conventional construction techniques providing continushyous structural support and double fastened connection details

Murus SIPs are custom manufactured to your projects unique specificashytions With a variety of interior and exterior skins panel thicknesses and lengths

Total Client Support We belielfe our SIP system is the best way to build your new structure In addition to scientific and research data that unquestionably proves our systems excellent performance every Murus SIP system is backed by our exclusive Total Client Support program This means that you get the expertise of a whole team of technical profeSSionals plus a long list of support services available to you such as

ing direction and details or by providing construction

drawings specific to each job

Custom Design Plans Home buyers can take advantage of

our custom design services which begin with your building

lot your ideas and your desires You may opt to have a

Murus representative visit your building site to assist you

in the planning and pOSitioning of your home Your plans

will culminate with 1 4 scale design drawings

Custom Manufacturing All SIPs are manufactured to each

project s individual specifications and requirements Roof

and wall panels are available in a variety of thicknesses

lengths and skins We will help you choose the panel that

works best for your project

Precut Panels Murus can provide SIPs precut to your

project s specifications using our state-of-the-art computshy

erized CNC equipment Precutting entails cutting of wall

and or roof sections to overall dimensions cutting of

window and door openings and routing of the foam core

to accommodate inlet plates and nailers SIPs are labeled

to correspond to the cutting plans for field identification

Technical Advisor Murus can arrange for a factoryshy

trained Technical Advisor to work with your professional

crew to help get your project started

ompare Common insulating materials used in wall roof and floor construction fall into two general categories fibrous materials (such as fiberglass and cellulose insulations) and foam plastics (thermo-plastics and thermo-set plastics) Polyurethane foam was selected as the core material for Murus SIPs only after studying research data on the properties and values of foam plastics

The Murus rigid polyurethane foam system is a highly advanced state-of-the-art thermo-set plastic formulation While other foams in the same family are often referred to as urethane they are in fact merely chemical cousins to Murus polyurethane Our system is specially designed for use in our exclushysive manufacturing process to achieve high performance in three areas (R-value structural properties and fire resistance) that are critical to producing high-quality SIPs

Our polyurethane foam core and our composite panels have been tested by independent laboratories for structural capability fire petjormance and durability We are enrolled in a voluntary third party quality control insurance program through which our manufacturing facility is routinely yet randomly inspected to verify consistent product quality

Our foam system is listed with a Class I fire rating It polyurethane will begin to burn and quickly produces a will not draw back or melt like thermo-plastiCs such as heavy thick char which is not conducive to burning Once expanded polystyrene (EPS) When exposed to flame the the flame is removed from the foam it will self-extinguish

The properties and characteristics of Murus polyurethane are superior to that of isocyanurate and polyisocyanurate foams typically produced by the lamination method The proprietary Nlurus manufacturing method-Uniform Dispersion Molding (UDM)-is a key component to creating our SIPs superior characteristics The UDM method enhances the properties of the foam and creates the strongest possible bond between the skins The Liquid foam is uniformly dispersed throughout

liqUid foam is uniformly dispersed throughout the mold lIold

the foam expands bonds and cures under 12- J 4 pSi unmatched by any other method UDM produces uniform foam density throughout the panel with spherical cells that give the foam superior and uniform strength as compared to elongated rice shaped cells produced by polyisocyanurate lamination foams

Independent studies show that air infiltration can account for up to 40 of the heat loss in a building The airtightness of a buildshying becomes even more important when considershying overall energy efficiency Air infiltration creates drafts and air stratification (cold floors and hot ceilings) These conditions rob energy and create a phYSically uncomshyfortable living environment The Murus SIP system is 3 to 5 times tighte r than typical construction methods saving energy and creating a controlled comfortable interior living environment

Independent studies demonshystrate that wood andor steel framing members reduce thermal performance of the whole-wall R-value by 20 to 50 over R-values of insulating mate rials measured in-the-wall The Iv]urus SIP system outperforms other systems and methods because it does not reqUire conductive steel or wood framing nor does it reqUire panel-to-panel spline connections

Also known as perm rate water vapor permeability is the ability of water vapor to pass through a material Methods or systems utilizshying insulating materials with high perm rates allow wanted interior moisture to escape under heating conditions (winter) and allow unwanted moisture to enter under cooling conditions (summer) Conventional methods use a vapor barrier to reduce permeability This method is

prone to condensation of vapor into water which affects insu lation values durability and may promote mold growth

Independent studies reveal a mere I moisture content in fibe rglass insulation reduces its effective R-value by 50

The polyurethane foam core in Murus SIPs does not absorb moisture therefore R-values are not reduced due to moisture

Murus SIPs have the highest R-value per inch of any buildshying system available You can use a thinner wall section which reduces the cost of window and door extension jambs plates and nailers and nets more floor space

Installation of an a ir exchange system helps assure a comfortable and healthy living environment

leum by-products and recycled materials

Oriented strand board (OSB) is made of wood

strands from fast-growth trees one of natures most renewable

resources These wood fibers are glued together with durable

resins to provide a solid finish-ready exterior

surface

Our patented cam-lock system saves as much as 30 on

installation time compared to other SIP systems and offers even greater time

savings over stud wall construction It also proVides the most positive seal between

panels virtually eliminating moisture and air-infiltration Cam-locks are located every two feet up the length of the SIP

and in conjunction with the tongueshyand-groove connection create an

exceptionally strong superior building system

The chase is foamed in place during

manufacturing with several chase height

Independent studies show that air infiltration can account for up to 40 of the heat loss in a building The airtightness of a buildshying becomes even more important when considershying overall energy efficiency Air infiltration creates drafts and air stratification (cold floors and hot ceilings) These conditions rob energy and create a phYSically uncomshyfortable living environment The Murus SIP system is 3 to 5 times tighte r than typical construction methods saving energy and creating a controlled comfortable interior living environment

Independent studies demonshystrate that wood andor steel framing members reduce thermal performance of the whole-wall R-value by 20 to 50 over R-values of insulating mate rials measured in-the-wall The Iv]urus SIP system outperforms other systems and methods because it does not reqUire conductive steel or wood framing nor does it reqUire panel-to-panel spline connections

Also known as perm rate water vapor permeability is the ability of water vapor to pass through a material Methods or systems utilizshying insulating materials with high perm rates allow wanted interior moisture to escape under heating conditions (winter) and allow unwanted moisture to enter under cooling conditions (summer) Conventional methods use a vapor barrier to reduce permeability This method is

Page 6: Murus SIP Brochure

ompare Common insulating materials used in wall roof and floor construction fall into two general categories fibrous materials (such as fiberglass and cellulose insulations) and foam plastics (thermo-plastics and thermo-set plastics) Polyurethane foam was selected as the core material for Murus SIPs only after studying research data on the properties and values of foam plastics

The Murus rigid polyurethane foam system is a highly advanced state-of-the-art thermo-set plastic formulation While other foams in the same family are often referred to as urethane they are in fact merely chemical cousins to Murus polyurethane Our system is specially designed for use in our exclushysive manufacturing process to achieve high performance in three areas (R-value structural properties and fire resistance) that are critical to producing high-quality SIPs

Our polyurethane foam core and our composite panels have been tested by independent laboratories for structural capability fire petjormance and durability We are enrolled in a voluntary third party quality control insurance program through which our manufacturing facility is routinely yet randomly inspected to verify consistent product quality

Our foam system is listed with a Class I fire rating It polyurethane will begin to burn and quickly produces a will not draw back or melt like thermo-plastiCs such as heavy thick char which is not conducive to burning Once expanded polystyrene (EPS) When exposed to flame the the flame is removed from the foam it will self-extinguish

Independent studies show that air infiltration can account for up to 40 of the heat loss in a building The airtightness of a buildshying becomes even more important when considershying overall energy efficiency Air infiltration creates drafts and air stratification (cold floors and hot ceilings) These conditions rob energy and create a phYSically uncomshyfortable living environment The Murus SIP system is 3 to 5 times tighte r than typical construction methods saving energy and creating a controlled comfortable interior living environment

Independent studies demonshystrate that wood andor steel framing members reduce thermal performance of the whole-wall R-value by 20 to 50 over R-values of insulating mate rials measured in-the-wall The Iv]urus SIP system outperforms other systems and methods because it does not reqUire conductive steel or wood framing nor does it reqUire panel-to-panel spline connections

Also known as perm rate water vapor permeability is the ability of water vapor to pass through a material Methods or systems utilizshying insulating materials with high perm rates allow wanted interior moisture to escape under heating conditions (winter) and allow unwanted moisture to enter under cooling conditions (summer) Conventional methods use a vapor barrier to reduce permeability This method is

prone to condensation of vapor into water which affects insu lation values durability and may promote mold growth

Independent studies reveal a mere I moisture content in fibe rglass insulation reduces its effective R-value by 50

The polyurethane foam core in Murus SIPs does not absorb moisture therefore R-values are not reduced due to moisture

Murus SIPs have the highest R-value per inch of any buildshying system available You can use a thinner wall section which reduces the cost of window and door extension jambs plates and nailers and nets more floor space

Installation of an a ir exchange system helps assure a comfortable and healthy living environment
