Product Description
ArmorWall Structural Insulated Sheathing™ Symmetrical Panel (SP) Vapor Permeable (VP) was launched to enable architects to pursue previously unattainable design features through its industry-leading structural strength, durability, continuous insulation properties, and fire, air and water-resistant capabilities.
ArmorWall SP-VP arrives to the job site with a factory-applied vapor permeable coating that makes it an excellent choice for most multifamily and commercial buildings. Based on the project needs and architectural specifications, ArmorWall SP-VP can be delivered in various sizes and with various insulation thickness and R-value.
Like our other products in the series, ArmorWall SP-VP drastically reduces the number of installation revolutions around a building. This helps to reduce costs and time to weather-in by weeks.
ArmorWall SP-VP’s innovative properties allow projects to meet and exceed continuous insulation, building code and green certification programs faster and more cost effectively. ArmorWall SP-VP is manufactured in a near zero waste manufacturing plant in North Carolina.
Key Features of ArmorWall SP-VP Include
- Has the ability to provide a two-hour fire rated exterior wall assembly in one step.
- ArmorWall SP-VP is the preferred solution for buildings in densely populated areas as well as high rise buildings where installers are able to work with single panels in place of several components
- It is unique due to its additional layer of sheathing, made of Magnesium Oxide (MgO), a natural mineral with fire-resistant properties, on the interior face encompassing the rigid foam insulation.
- The MgO layers replace the common sheathings (such as gypsum, plywood, etc.) and compounds found in other products that require additional coatings, time and cost.
ArmorWall SP-VP is the Best Solution for These Building Types
- Buildings or specific wall areas that require a fire-rated wall assembly
- Projects with thinner walls that require fire ratings
- Projects with plenum spaces
- Core and shell buildings
- High rise buildings
- High velocity wind zones
- Job sites with minimum lay down space or short timelines
Project Highlights Featuring ArmorWall SP-VP
Know the Advantages of ArmorWall
ArmorWall fully passes NFPA 285 standards testing without protective cladding on the front. This allows for engineering judgements to be made for most NFPA 285 tested and approved exterior finishes when used with ArmorWall to create a complete wall assembly.
Thanks to Fusion Technology and the materials used in ArmorWall, the structural strength of the panel allows direct attachment of cladding to the panel, without pin-pointing the studs beyond.
ArmorWall passes the ASTM E331 and Chapter 14 of Building Code for WRBs as a water-resistant barrier for pressure totaling two hours. Once the fasteners and seams have been sealed the structure is considered dried-in and interior construction may commence.
When properly sealed using ArmorSeal™ Sealant at all seams and fasteners, the factory coated panels meet the IBC requirements for an air barrier assembly without the need for additional materials.
The insulation fused to our sheathing provides an easy way to comply with continuous insulation requirements in building codes. The thermal layer is offered in three standard thicknesses and R-Values (R10, R15, and R21).
ArmorWall handles the stress of factory-built wall assembly manufacturing, including movement within the facility, deflection during transportation, and racking during wall erection.
No paper facings exist within the assembly to promote biological growth.
