VIDEO: Building With Strüktek Panels
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Ultimate All-In-One Building System
Water Resistant
Vapour barriers keep your structure from mold and you will have the option to attach the barrier to your panel saving your days of on-site labour.
Disaster Resistant
Panels excel in strength, surpassing stick frame builds by 20-30%. They offer enhanced resistance to earthquakes, storms and ensure a secure structure.
No Air Leaks
Building Code Compliance
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Made Sustainably For
High Performance
Struktek panels are made with and EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam core laminated between two sheets of OSB (oriented strand board) using a structural adhesive.This approach creates a very robust construction panel that doesn’t require any additional support from a frame or skeleton.
Made In Canada
Strüktek panels are proudly manufactured in Canada using premium Canadian lumber.
Pre-cut & Ready To Assemble
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Strüktek panels are designed with integrated electrical channels or conduit spaces. These channels provide a dedicated pathway for electrical wiring, making the installation process more organized and efficient. The pre-designed channels help prevent tangled or exposed wires, reducing the risk of accidents during installation and maintenance.
Strüktek ensures that each project can be customized to meet specific requirements and style preferences.
The superior strength of Strüktek panels provides a stable framework around windows, ensuring structural integrity. This stability helps windows withstand external forces such as high winds and seismic activity, enhancing the overall resilience of the building.
Save Over $3,000 Per Year On Electricity Bills.
PRODUCT COMPARISON
Strüktek Vs Stick Frame
Strüktek outperforms traditional stick frame construction through its advanced features and design. With higher R-Value insulation, absence of thermal bridging, and superior airtightness, Strüktek panels deliver significantly better energy efficiency and reduced air leakage, resulting in lower utility bills and improved comfort.

Specifications of SIP panels vary depending on the size and thickness of the panel. R-value can reach up to R-45 providing Additionally, a compression strength up to 50 pounds per square inch (psi) and a shear strength up to 150 psi. Please consult a Strüktek Specialist for specific requirements for your region and project.
Struktek panels are efficiently delivered to the designated job site on a flatbed truck, ensuring secure transportation. Once on-site, the installation team is provided with a comprehensive assembly guide, enabling them to effectively and accurately assemble the panels according to the building plans, streamlining the construction process and ensuring a smooth installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The structural characteristics of SIPs are similar to that of a steel I-beam. The OSB facers act as the flange of the I-beam, while the rigid foam core provides the web. This design gives SIPs an advantage when handling in-plane compressive loads. SIPs are used for high wind designs in excess of 180 mph and are approved for Florida’s strict High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). The load-bearing area of SIPs is equivalent to building with 2 x 10 framing at 16 inches on center.
Electrical wires are pulled through pre-cut channels inside the core of the panels called “chases.” Chases are added during the manufacturing process according to the electrical design of the home. Electricians can feed wires through panel chases without compressing the insulation or drilling through studs.
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performance building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial buildings. The panels are made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation between two structural facings, such as oriented strand board (OSB). Other skin materials can be used for specific purposes. SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be custom designed for each project. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy-efficient and cost effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.
Structural insulated panels are one of the most environmentally responsible building systems available. A SIP building envelope provides continuous insulation, is extremely airtight, allows for better control over indoor air quality, reduces construction waste, and helps save natural resources. Life cycle analysis has shown that SIP homes have a tremendous positive environmental impact by reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the home’s life cycle. SIP designs can save 45% more CO2 with a 5.1 year energy payback and a 3.8 year greenhouse gas payback compared to stick framing examples.
Strüktek homes go up much faster than traditionally framed buildings. A properly trained installation crew can cut framing time by 80-55 percent compared to conventional wood framing, according to a third-party study conducted by R.S. Means. Panels are manufactured as big as 8-foot by 24-foot, so entire wall and roof sections can be put up quickly, reducing dry-in time. SIPs are ready to install when they arrive at the jobsite, eliminating the time needed to perform the individual jobsite operations of framing, insulating and sheathing stick framed walls. Electrical chases are typically provided in the core of panels, so there is no need to drill through studs for wiring.
