We make several kinds. Click on Panel Types to see drawings and photos. Most common is our structural panel, with OSB both inside and out. Another kind is the nailbase panel, with OSB just on the outside. This panel is sometimes used over tongue & groove wood ceilings. A third common type is our 'curtainwall' panel with OSB outside, and drywall inside. This panel is often used for roof systems if you want drywall instead of tongue & groove wood between rafters.

There are also several other ways you can wire a panel home. Click here to go to page 35 of our Panel Installation Guide. This shows a couple really good ways to wire.

Our panels come in a standard 4' width. We can make them in 8', 9', 10' 12', 14', and 16' lengths. When we create a panel layout for your frame, or we design an R-Tight® Panel SIP house, we choose lengths that are appropriate for the spans.

Don't!! Plumbing should never be run in exterior walls. This is a building code violation in many places. The best way to run plumbing is through interior walls, like in a conventional home. Yes, R-Tight® panels cost a little more than studs, exterior sheathing, pink insulation, and drywall, materials they replace. But when you figure the savings in labor when you build with R-Tight® panels, the total cost is about the same.

we make R-Tight® panels in several thicknesses from 4-1/2" (R-15) to 10-1/4" (R-37). The choice will depend on where your building is located, among other factors. We can help you decide what thickness is right for your project - call us at (802) 644-2500.

We'll study your timberframe design carefully, and look at where all the different pieces run - the rafters, posts, carriers, ties, and so on. We try to have panel joints occur mostly behind timbers, to minimize seams, and interior finishing costs.

SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) are a high tech laminate of different building materials. Essentially, SIPs are a sandwich of an insulated foam core with exterior faces made of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) or drywall.

Several reasons. In conventional stud-built houses, the studs break up the insulation (usually the pink fiberglass kind). In addition, no matter how careful the builder is when he installs the insulation, it is always difficult to get good seals around studs, wiring, electrical outlets, windows, doors, and the like. In a SIP house, the panels form an uninterrupted shell around the home.

R-Tight® panels have insulated cores made with either EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) or polyisocyanurate foam. Both types of cores are now made with low-environmental impact processes. EPS, for example is now made in a CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) and HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbon)-free expansion process that uses recycled pentane (a substance related to octane, found in fuel).

This is the reason our product has different R-values for different applications (varying amount of air space and heat flow directions). Our stated R-value for a specific application is based on the same test methods of other insulations.

No. In the rare case that you need to shorten a lap-only seatbelt, you need a special, heavy-duty belt-shortening clip. Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle or carseat to obtain one.

Cichlid-only community tanks-- usually with non-cichlid scavengers-- are very common in the cichlid hobby. Experienced cichlid keepers often find unlikely combinations of cichlids which work well by chance (e.g. a shortage of tank space, or a fish jumping into another tank). Aquarists will commonly attempt to group fish of similar geographical origin, e.g.

Several lineages of Reiki are now in the Western world, all of which trace their origins back to Dr. Usui. Following the death of Hawayo Takata in 1980, the unitary tradition of Reiki she espoused in North America quickly branched out, and several versions of Reiki are now found in various parts of the world. Most have taken the traditional Usui Reiki and added to or subtracted from it to come up with their variation. Imagine a tree. It has a single trunk but it has many branches.

Cholesterol travels through the blood attached to a protein. This package of cholesterol (a lipid) and protein is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are either high-density or low-density, based on how much protein and fat they have. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are the "bad" cholesterol. LDL is mostly fat with only a small amount of protein. It can clog your arteries. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor will want you to lower your LDL.

PHYSICAL: Shaking, beating, burning, failure to provide necessities of life (e.g., adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care). A child is physically injured by other than accidental means. A child is being subjected to willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment. Any kind of contact with a child could be considered a sexual act. It will depend on the intent of the person making the contact.

There are several species or kinds of lice that feed on people. One species feeds specifically on the head and is called the head louse.

There are many kinds of clinical trials. They range from studies of ways to prevent, detect and diagnose, control and treat cancer, to studies of the psychological impact of the disease and ways to improve the patient's comfort and quality of life (including pain control). Most cancer clinical trials deal with new treatments.

With so many lenses available, it is difficult to find ones that will protect your eyes if you don't know what each one will do. Blue-blockers block blue light and usually have amber lenses. Researchers are still unsure whether or not blue light is harmful, but these are popular among skiers, hunters, boaters, and pilots. Both polarized lenses and anti-reflective coating cut reflected glare. Polarized lenses in particular are popular with those who play water and snow sports.

Research continues to verify that touch is a crucial element in the proper physical and psychological development of children. Infant massage is an activity that provides many proven and potential benefits to infants and their parents. Massage also assists a baby in discovering their body, potentially improves flexibility, and strengthens their self-esteem.

We carry several levels of quality in our treadbelt line. These treadbelts are intended for varying levels of use in your facility or home. If you order the OEM treadbelt, you will receive a treadbelt that was ordered direct from the manufacturer. Premium treadbelts are our top of the line treadbelt and are intended to be used in facilities where they will be used 8+ hours a day. Standard treadbelts should be used where the treadmill is expected to receive 3-8 hours of use a day.

There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, effleurage, petrissage, taponment, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. Ask the practitioner about the methods he or she uses.

There are two basic cell types of melanoma as seen with the microscope. These are spindle and epithelioid. Most melanomas have a combination of these 2 cell types. Only if the eye is removed or the tumor resected can the doctor judge the cell type. Melanomas with predominantly spindle cells have thin elongated cells and imply better prognosis. Epithelioid cell type melanoma have round cells and imply worse prognosis.

CBT is not at all like traditional psychotherapy. In traditional psychotherapy, the focus is often on talking about one's past. Talking about the past can be very helpful in dealing with many life issues, but it has very limited value in helping people to overcome panic disorder. CBT focuses on overcoming panic in the present, as opposed to searching the past for contributing factors. In CBT, you learn skills that you practice in the therapist's office and on your own.

Most definitely yes, and it's a good thing considering there are so few traditional jobs for astronomers! Ph.D. astronomers can be employed in a variety of technical fields, since astronomy itself is so multi-disciplinary. Many astronomers in the 1970's found themselves employed by the defense and aerospace industries.

Product certification attests that a product complies with the safety, fitness for use and/or interchangeability characteristics defined in standard(s), and in specification(s) supplementary to standards, where they are requested by the market. Organization certification demonstrates the conformity of, for example, an organization's quality, environmental or other management system to the relevant management system standard(s).

Yes. When you define the command line to run the module, you use the substitution variable <R> to reference the R configuration property, which provides the full path to the R installation used by GenePattern. To use a different R installation, create a custom property, set that property to the desired R installation, and reference that property in your module command line (see Defining the Module Command Line).

A total precast concrete system provides a single source supplier. There is only one schedule and one field construction management which minimizes coordination conflicts. The precast concrete components are cast off-site regardless of weather constraints. Talk to a MAPA precaster regarding schedules and estimates.

Since physiatrists focus on restoring patients to maximum function, the difference they make can be dramatic. In the case of the herniated disc, the physiatrist not only takes care of the acute problem, but also treats the patient until he or she returns to optimal functioning, usually without surgery. The physiatrist also teaches the patient how to prevent the injury in the future. A broken hip in an elderly patient is another example.

YES. The hydraulic drive system allows very tight turns. The turning radius of the SURF RAKE matches that of its towing unit. Most tractors have a narrow turning radius.
