STYROFOAM SIS™ (U.S. Residential Only) STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing combines structural lateral bracing and transverse load, insulation and water-resistive barrier properties. It is designed for use as braced wall panels attached next to other rigid insulated sheathing. It can also serve as continuous structural insulated sheathing over the entire structural insulated wall line. STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing is the first structural insulated sheathing to achieve significant R-values (R-3.0 at 0.5"; R-5.5 at 1") and eliminates the need for wood structural panels and housewrap, wood let-in bracing or metal T-bracing.
Throughout the country, Timber Frame construction is becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. The structural skeleton of a Post and Beam home is stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than conventionally framed structures. At one time, insulating a post and beam structure demanded stud wall framing and conventional fiberglass insulation, which diminished the beauty of the exposed timbers.
