What Thermocore Structural Insulated Panel Systems does

Thermocore Structural Insulated Panel Systems is a privately held US manufacturer of polyurethane foam core structural insulated panels (SIPs), based in Mooresville, Indiana. The company fabricates custom wall and roof panels consisting of closed-cell polyurethane foam injected between two skins of 7/16-inch oriented strand board (OSB), CNC-cut to building-plan specifications with factory-installed electrical boxes, conduit, door/window bucks, and headers. Its product portfolio centers on two lines: Thermocore Wall Panels (including a patented 4-inch R-24 panel compatible with standard window jambs and a 6-1/2-inch R-40 panel) and Thermocore Roof Panels (6-1/2-inch R-40 and 8-1/4-inch R-50 configurations), each backed by a limited lifetime warranty against delamination.

The company differentiates on polyurethane chemistry (R-6.9 per inch, roughly double EPS SIPs), integrated electrical infrastructure, and a patented wall-panel geometry that eliminates window-jamb extensions. Products are sold direct to customers through a quote-based, plan-submission process, with regional builder and framing-crew partners handling installation. The customer base spans individual homeowners, custom and production home builders, commercial developers, timber framers, architects, and engineers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time hardware sales of custom-manufactured panels, with no disclosed recurring revenue or subscription model; pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed. Marketing relies on a website with technical library and blog, project case studies, social media (Facebook, Instagram), and trade show participation at log home and timber frame expos.

Core offering

Thermocore designs and manufactures custom structural insulated panels (SIPs) consisting of a closed-cell polyurethane foam core bonded between two 7/16" oriented strand board (OSB) skins, CNC-cut to specific building plans. The product line includes wall panels (4" R-24 and 6-1/2" R-40) and roof panels (6-1/2" R-40 and 8-1/4" R-50) with factory-installed electrical boxes, conduit, door/window bucks, headers, and tongue-and-groove joinery. Panels are custom-manufactured at the Mooresville, Indiana facility and sold to builders, developers, architects, and homeowners for residential and commercial construction projects across North America.

Product overview

Thermocore Structural Insulated Panel Systems offers a unified portfolio of structural insulated panels (SIPs) consisting of two core product lines: Thermocore Wall Panels and Thermocore Roof Panels. Both product lines use polyurethane foam cores sandwiched between oriented strand board (OSB) skins, manufactured with CNC precision and factory-installed electrical components. The company differentiates through patented 4-inch R-24 wall panels (the only SIP accommodating standard window jambs), industry-leading R-values (up to R-50 for roof panels), and a limited lifetime warranty against delamination. The product suite is complemented by technical documentation, specifier resources, and project support services.
