Eliminate Thermal Bridging Your Way

We transform standard building materials into insulated versions of those building materials so it doesn’t take extra time to build energy efficent. 

Building Better Starts With Building Smarter

Structural Insulated Sheathing (SIS) Panels combine rigid exterior insulation with structural sheathing into one product – allowing builders to benefit from the advantages of continuous exterior insulation without complex timelines or extra labour costs.

Featured: Thermal Studs

Eliminate thermal bridging without exterior insulation. Albertan manufacture and distribution by SIS Panels. 

Discover the future of sustainable building with Thermal Studs. These energy-efficient alternatives to traditional studs not only reduce your carbon footprint but also ease strain on your HVAC system and your wallet. Patented and thermally-broken, Thermal Studs are easily installed like traditional studs and allow builders to choose from a variety of insulation options. Upgrade to Thermal Studs for a greener, more cost-effective construction solution.

Our Products

Thermal Bridging is a bigger issue than you think

Heat loss always takes the path of least resistance and in exterior walls, that’s through the studs & plate material. This heat loss is called thermal bridging.

By improving the building envelope and eliminating thermal bridging, the building operates more efficiently and lengthens the lifespan of the mechanical systems by reducing it’s workload.

In a recent case study we found that 17% of exterior walls in an average home have next to no insulation due to thermal bridging. Read our case study to learn more.

SIS Panels Versus SIP Walls: What’s The Difference?

While our exterior insulated sheathing panels may look similar to SIP Walls, and both products are used for the construction of the building envelope, there are several key differences between the two wall assemblies.

The main difference is the way these products are utilized in the building envelope. SIS Sheathing is designed to be installed on the exterior of the wall frame, replacing the sheathing as part of the building envelope.

SIP Walls are designed to replace the entire wall structure and are typically built with a 2×6 wood frame, an EPS insulated core with pre-cut opening for wiring/piping, and OSB sheathing.

Pick Your Sheathing

Our library of insulated sheathing options include OSB, Plywood, DensGlass, DensElement, GlasRoc, Securock, MgO, FRP, and more. Don’t see the sheathing you’d like to use? Get in touch and we’ll create a custom insulated sheathing for you

Pick Your Insulation

We offer EPS, GPS, XPS, and Phenolic insulative cores to help builders meet their project requirements with a single product. Whether you need non-combustibility, high R-Values, integrated rainscreens, or completely custom solutions: we’re here to help.

Pick Your Installer

SIS Panels are commonly installed by prefab groups or by framers at the job site. Because SIS Panels are installed the exact same way as OSB or drywall, no special training or tools are required. Don’t have an installer? Contact us today and we’d be happy to reccomend one. 

The Old Way vs The New Way

The Old Way

This is the traditional method of applying sheathing. As you can see, there is a lot of extra steps and material required.

  • More Layers
  • More Production Time
  • More Material Cost

If you’re operating by old ideas… you’re obsolete.

The New Way

New Wood/LGS Framing with Rainscreen

For use in assemblies where the final architecural finish is applied outside of the SIS Panel.

  • Attaches directly to framing
  • Eliminates multiple trips around the building to install code compliant envelope
  • Code Compliant
  • Accepts most architectural finishes and/or attachment systems

The New Way

With Stucco/Acrylic Finish

This is the new method of applying sheathing. As you can see, there are less steps and materials required.

  • Less Materials
  • Faster Production
  • Less Cost on Materials and Labor

SIS EIFS Panel w/ DensElement® (Product Code - SH21) shown in image.

Better. Faster. Easier.
