Insulation value
R-Value is a rating of the material resistance to thermal penetration.
The higher the number the better the protection value. Many circumstances change
the R-Value rating. R-Values change with the different thickness and density of
the polystyrene panel core, various thickness of shotcrete applied to the
interior and exterior as well as fluctuation of ambient temperatures Chart shown
below shows the minimum R-Value Ratings you can expect using Tridipanel. 2lb.
Polystyrene Core will provide an additional 10-12% R-Rating Polyisocyanurate
Core is optional when panels are ordered. 2.5" 1.0 LB Polystyrene Core-R-Value
11.00 2.5" 1.0 LB Polyisocyanurate Core-R-Value 21.00 4.0" 1.0 LB Polystyrene
Core-R-Value 18.00 4.0" 1.0 LB Polyisocyanurate Core-R-Value 33.00 5.0" 1.0 LB
Polystyrene Core-R-Value 23.00 5.0" 1.0 LB Polyisocyanurate Core-R-Value 41.00
Polyisocyanurate is a special order foam core used primarily for refrigeration
purposes or specialty items. R-Values stated is within FTC guidelines.
The Tridipanel System has been designed with maximum environmental
comfort in mind. A wood structure simply cannot compare to the comfort level
available with the outstanding energy savings created by using the Tridipanel
System. Tridipanel will keep you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The
modified expanded polystyrene core meets all VA, FHA and HUD thermal
requirements.
Tridipanel offers
valuable savings: (see graphs, fig1 and fig 2)
1.) No wood studs to
transfer or conduct heat or cold through the exterior walls
2.) The incorporation of
minimum (3") density of shotcrete and variable thickness of polystyrene ranging
from 2" through 5" offers an excellent thermal barrier.
3.) Electrical and
plumbing is through the interior side of the Tridipanel, so there are fewer wall
penetrations, which keeps thermal loss at a minimum.
4.) Save 50% to 80% of
heating and cooling costs.
5.) Reduces size and cost
of HVAC System.
