The Timber Frame Wall & Roof System
For energy efficiency, we recommend super insulating stresskin
energy panels to enclose many of our timber frame buildings.

We will be happy to suggest stresskin companies
& assist in scheduling the time frame for your panel installation. Please visit our Cool Links Page
for links to stresskin panel suppliers. Read on for more information about structural insulated panels, or SIP's...
Stresskin is made of four layers:
1/2" Oriented strand board sheathing on the outside, expanded polystyrene foam in the middle,
& 1/4" OSB backer board and 1/2" sheetrock on the inside. See the picture below for the entire wall system detail.
When a non-venting roofing material is used, like asphalt shingles,
wood shingles or standing seam metal roofing, a vented cold roof is
required to ensure that the roofing material lasts & the stresskin
panels continue perform for years.
|
Channels are pre-cut in the foam for electrical wires and OSB
splines screwed in at the joints to hold the panels tight. 2x framing
is installed around the windows & doors for added strength.
Mechanicals, like plumbing and wiring can also be hidden in the
2x floor framing and the interior partitions.
|
High quality 2x tongue & groove ponderosa pine decking is used
between floors. Most of the time we install another 2x floor system
above the decking for mechanicals, but our pine decking is so nice
that many of our clients choose to use it for their finished floors
upstairs.

We have joined together with Foard Panel, suppliers of stresskin enclosure systems, to create the Vermont Timber Works & Foard Panel Stresskin Panel Information Page on Foard Panel's website. Click here to learn more about structural insulated panels by Foard Panel.
