Murus Company | Structural Insulated Panels

More about our Company

The Murus Company, Inc. was founded over twenty years ago for the purpose of supplying structural insulating panels to the log home and timber framing industries. Murus SIPs can optimize a log structure’s roofing system. Applied over the top of the log rafter, purlin, or truss system, Murus SIPs will provide a clean, integrated interior surface for ease of finishing while providing superior insulation values and energy efficiency.

Today, Murus SIPs are utilized by a number of log home companies throughout the country as an integral part of their package offerings. Murus structural insulating panels have unique features that make installation over log home structures faster, easier, and more energy efficient than conventional framing methods. A variety of panel skins, panel thicknesses, and lengths ensures the right product for the job. The outstanding energy performance and superior strength that Murus SIPs provide have made them an increasingly popular building material for log home and log hybrid structures.

Murus SIPs are engineered to be thermally stable, maintaining their R-value over time, and can save significantly on heating and cooling energy consumption. Murus SIPs are ideal for GREEN building projects because of their ability to reduce heating and cooling loads and create a secure building envelope. Murus is proud to be an ENERGY STAR Insulation Partner, and Murus Polyurethane and EPS SIPS are ENERGY STAR qualified and are recognized by, and listed in, the GreenSpec Directory, an independent agency specializing in qualifying GREEN construction products.

With R-values ranging from R-16 to R-45, depending upon the type of foam core and thickness chosen, Murus SIPs can contribute to an energy efficient building envelope to maintain a consistently comfortable living environment in your log home.

• Murus Polyurethane SIP foam is safe to humans and the environment and does not contain formaldehyde, CFC’s, HCFC’s, or other ozone-depleting compounds. It is an organic material made from petroleum by-products and recycled materials. Murus Polyurethane foam provides the highest R-value per inch of thickness of any SIP foam core available.

• The molded tongue and groove edge profile assures quick, proper alignment of panel-to-panel joints. Once installed and sealed with spray foam, the result is a continuous uniformity of insulation that is lacking in spline connection systems.

• Murus Polyurethane SIPs are backed by a lifetime warranty against delamination. Contact Murus for complete warranty details.

• Murus EPS SIPs are a high quality, competitively priced alternative to conventional construction, offering dependable performance and superior R-values. Murus EPS foam contains no formaldehyde, CFC’s, HCFC’s, or HFC’s.

• Murus EPS SIPs are installed using wooden key splines to join the panels together. Typical panel-to-panel connection is achieved using two (interior and exterior) plywood key splines. Panels are manufactured with core dimensions that allow dimensional lumber to be incorporated for additional load-bearing support.

• Murus EPS SIPs carry a limited 10-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Murus for complete warranty details.
