Walls
Most walls are 8 feet tall
though higher walls are no problem. Windows and doors are cut out as needed. Wall panels are secured to the foundation
just like conventional framing except all joints are glued and then nailed. Wall
panels can handle 3 stories safely. Gable ends, dormers and knee walls are typically made with foam core panels. |

Roof
Foam panels produce an insulated
attic that becomes usable for half story designs and vaulted or cathedral
ceiling openness. Attic areas are not exposed to outside air flow and stay
clean, dry, and comfortable. There is no need for other
insulation in the ceiling and your mechanical equipment is in a nice atmosphere.

Ceiling
Though the roof application has its benefits, designs having cut up roofs and
complex floor plan layouts suggest the use of Korwall ceilings instead. Now you can enter your
attic and walk anywhere on the panel without damaging your insulation or finished ceiling.
Recessed effects in the ceilings are still available to
accent your interior design. When Korwall is used as the ceiling, conventional rafters and decking provide the roof structure.

Floor
Proper insulation in a typical floor built off of the ground is difficult to achieve. The foam core panels laid across the sills, provides the
same strength as does floor joist with a plywood sub floor, while totally insulating the floor at the same time.
No more cold winter floors.
