Stress Skin Panels for Timber Frame and Structural Insulated Panel Homes.  
DIFFERENT PANEL TYPES

At R-Tight® Panel, we make several different types of panels. Here are brief descriptions of each ...

Structural Panels

By far the most common panel, our structural panels, have OSB on both exterior faces:

Structural panels can be used to build whole homes, with or without a timberframe! You apply drywall to the inside of the panels to give a regular drywall interior.

Curtainwall Panels

Another type of panel, our curtainwall panels, have OSB outside and drywall inside. These panels are most often used for the ceilings of a timberframe, where you want a drywall interior. They can also be used for the walls in a timberframe home, but they aren't as rigid as structural panels, and the interior drywall seams are less stable.

Nailbase Panels

A third type of panel is the nailbase panel. These panels have an exterior face of OSB, and no interior covering on the EPS core. These panels are a little less expnsive than curtainwall panels. They are comonly used above tongue & groove ceilings if you are unconcerned about having a drywall fire break.
