Build Stronger: Create a stronger wall assembly and use less wood than traditional construction.
Build Smarter: Construct a wall assembly that incorporates continuous insulation and an air/vapour barrier system without the need for a conventional vapour and weather resistive barrier.
Build Sustainable: Minimize energy loss with reduced air leakage and high R-values while enhancing indoor comfort.
Systematic Success
The HP+™ Wall System XR Series is designed to deliver a smart new way to build affordable, high performance homes.
The wall assembly features the following:
- 2x6 bottom and top plates
- 2x4 wood framing at 16"or 24" on center construction
- 2" Neopor® graphite-enhanced rigid thermal foam insulation. Also available in different thicknesses and R-values to fit your climate zone needs and code requirements
- MasterSeal® NP1™ sealant
- 2 1/2" WALLTITE® insulating air/vapour barrier material
- 2" x 4" finished timber girts with 1/2" plywood strips
- Extra room to add more WALLTITE® for an increased R-value
Strength in Numbers
By combining 2x4 framing with foam sheathing and spray polyurethane foam in a composite design, the HP+ Wall System XR Series can increase structural strength while reducing lumber content and eliminating the need for plywood or OSB sheathing. When properly designed and installed, the HP+ Wall System can offer one of the best values available for residential construction.
Benefits include:
- Can reduce lumber content by eliminating wood sheathing (plywood, OSB)
- Wood girts allow WALLTITE to get behind studs greatly reducing thermal bridging and increasing effective R-value
- Stronger walls with increased lateral resistance compared to a typical wall (studs and exterior sheathing)
- Improved moisture management that can mitigate thermal and structural issues
- Mitigate thermal and structural issues; reducing potential builder callbacks
Build a Better Barrier - Thermal, Air, Water and Vapour Drive
With integrated thermal, air, water and vapour flow management in a single system, the HP+ Wall System XR Series provides an effective building envelope against severe Canadian climates.
- Provides higher thermal performance in 2x4 wood framing and interior square footage without increasing the building's footprint
- Reduces thermal bridging through continuous insulation which can also perform as a weather resistive barrier
- Creates a superior air and vapour barrier using WALLTITE and MasterSeal NP1
Tested wall assembly. Increased peace of mind.
The HP+ Wall System XR Series has been tested by third party
organizations and evaluated by CCMC.
