Wise Panel System
WISE WOOD AND STEEL PANELS ARE A UNIQUE PATENT-PENDING PROCESS UTILIZING THE POWER OF COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY
- Minimizes conduction of heat & cold
- Significantly reduces air infiltration
- Improves acoustics and protects against fire
- No off-gassing or harmful chemicals
- EnergyStar™ compliant pre-Insulated steel framing
- Protects against mildew and decay and consequently there is no food source for mold or for termites
- Every structure comes with an energy usage guarantee of ultra-energy efficient performance and comfort
- Rigid and fire-retardant
- Easy to carry and modify
- Very little waste on the job site
The Shortcomings of Conventional Stick Framing
Typical stud wall designs place cavity insulation between the studs. This results in an uneven thermal distribution over the wall. The highly conductive studs act as thermal short circuits, where heat moves rapidly around the cavity insulation, reducing the system’s thermal performance. These thermal shorts can reduce the R-value of insulation by more than 50 percent of its rated value. What’s more, adding thicker insulation between the studs will not significantly improve thermal performance, nor will increasing stud size or spacing – making it physically impossible to achieve an R-19 stud wall with R-19 rated mineral fiber insulation by itself.

The Benefits of The Wise Panel System to Builders
- Cuts framing time of exterior walls by as much as 50%
- No cranes needed as with heavy wood S.I.P. panels
- Incredibly quiet wall system
- Turns any structure into an igloo cooler that happens to have windows and doors
- Exceeds the Performance Criteria of the 2021 IECC Energy Code
- Pre-molded areas for electrical chases
- Vertical and lateral load-bearing capabilities
- Waste and clean-up cost are minimal
Wise Panels are thermally broken, lightweight composite building components that provide five functions in one fast and easy step:
- Framing
- Insulation
- Air Barrier
- Vapor Barrier
- Exterior Sheathing
Wise Panels may be used for:
- Exterior Walls
- Interior Walls
- Partitions
- Basements
- Floors
- Ceilings
- Roofs
Drilling
Combinations of these pre-insulated components are screwed together to form a unique high performance energy shell that is fast, lightweight and extremely strong with superior thermal and acoustical properties.
Wise Sturdy Steel and Wood Panels
Wise steel panels are constructed of structural grade, G-60 galvanized opposing double steel framing members inserted into 1 pound per cubic foot density EPS foam insulation.
Wise wood panels are constructed of premium grade, 2″ x 4″ opposing framing members fastened onto 1 pound per cubic foot density EPS foam insulation.
Available in 3½, 4, 5½, 7½, 9½, and 11½ inch thicknesses and 2, 3, & 4 foot widths. Lengths of 8, 9, 10 & 12 feet and more.
Wise expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels are not subject to thermal drift, meaning their R-value remains constant throughout the life of the building. – U.S. Department of Energy
