Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to a structural insulated panel framing system comprising: insulation sheathing receivable by a wall jig; a frame for placement atop the insulation sheathing; and spray foam for application to the frame and the insulation sheathing to fuse the frame and insulation sheathing to produce a structural insulated panel.
Claims40
A framing system comprising:
- an structural insulated panel, comprising:
- an insulation sheathing;
- a frame comprising a top plate, a bottom plate, a pair of outer studs, and an inner stud, wherein the pair of outer studs and the inner stud span between the top plate and the bottom plate, wherein each of the outer studs and inner stud has a proximal side and a distal side, wherein the inner stud is positioned between the pair of outer studs;
- a mesh coupled to the insulation sheathing, wherein each of the distal sides of the outer studs and the distal side of the inner stud abuts the mesh;
- and
- a cured spray foam adhering the insulation sheathing and the mesh to the frame such that the insulation sheathing, the mesh and the frame are unitary, wherein the insulation sheathing and the mesh are coupled to the frame without mechanical fasteners.

A method, comprising:
- positioning an insulation sheathing on a wall jig;
- positioning a frame on the wall jig in alignment with the insulation sheathing;
- dispensing spray foam within the frame and onto the frame and the insulation sheathing;
- and
- fusing the insulation sheathing to the frame using the spray foam to produce a unitary structural insulated panel, wherein the insulation sheathing is coupled to the frame without mechanical fasteners.

A structural insulated panel, comprising:
- an insulation sheathing;
- a frame comprising a top plate, a bottom plate, a pair of outer studs, and an inner stud, wherein the pair of outer studs and the inner stud span between the top plate and the bottom plate, wherein each of the outer studs and inner stud has a proximal side and a distal side, wherein each of the distal sides of the outer studs and the distal side of the inner stud abuts the insulation sheathing, wherein the inner stud is positioned between the pair of outer studs;
- and
- a spray foam sprayed within cavities of the frame such that the spray foam substantially covers internal surfaces of the cavities and fuses the frame to the insulation sheathing when cured such that the insulation sheathing and the frame are unitary, wherein the insulation sheathing is coupled to the frame without mechanical fasteners.
