As a panelizer, you know the benefits that a wall panel offers over a site-built frame, including less jobsite waste, less wood use, and a faster framing time on site. But, you may be interested to learn more about PUReWall™ and how you can set up your facility to manufacture a product that includes Hunter PW-CG polyiso and Hunter PW-STR foam on the wall before it ever leaves the panel facility. Here are some of the questions we get most often from panelizers:
What is the difference between PUReWall™ and a traditional wall panel?
The polyiso continuous insulation on PUReWall™ by Hunter Panels acts as both the exterior sheathing and as a weather resistant barrier, replacing the traditional sheathing and house wrap. It is highly energy efficient, and when used in conjunction with Hunter PW-STR structural foam, it allows for extremely high performance walls using only a 2x4 stud with 24” on center placement. The wall framing, continuous insulation and structural foam are all applied at the panelization facility.
Why would I want to produce PUReWall™ at my panel facility?
When producing PUReWall™ a more complete wall panel that has additional added value to the builder is shipped to the jobsite, which increases the work done in the panel facility vs. on the jobsite. This adds additional value to the panelization process.
What changes need to be made to my panel process to accommodate PUReWall™?
The biggest change is incorporating the application of Hunter PW-STR - a patented polyurethane structural spray foam to the wall panel. That, and the other details about how to convert a panel facility to accommodate PUReWall™ by Hunter Panels are available in a PUReWall™ Manufacturing Recommendations document, which is available by contacting Hunter Panels.
