Conventional

A conventional built wall system is composed of 2”x6” or 2”x4” studs and plates. The studs area infilled with cellulose or wool batt insulation. It is then covered with 4”x8”x 7/16th” sheeting. A vapour barrier is placed on the warm side and an air barrier on the outside.

Stresskin Panels

Stresskin panels are insulated building panels which have a core of rigid insulation between an exterior and interior skin. They can be erected very quickly, provide tremendous interior design flexibility, produce a stronger wall than conventional framing of equal thickness and are extremely energy efficient.
Insulation: Polyisocyanurate- an advanced formulation of urethane, developed for high R-value, structural strength and fire safety
Skin: Waferboard - less expensive and more stable (particularly in high moisture conditions) than plywood.
The panels are 4½" thick, providing the highest level of energy efficiency for the given wall or roof system available anywhere. You also get more living space than in any other comparatively insulated house with the same outside dimensions

How do you choose?

The Conventional Wall material is less expensive but the labour can be more, much depends upon the aspects of your project. Your designer will be able to explain these applicable aspects and assist you with your decision.
