Join the Energy Efficiency Revolution with Thermal Studs!
Manufacturers and builders face several challenges in creating high-performance, energy-efficient, and sustainable building assemblies and systems that meet stringent building codes while controlling costs.
These challenges include:
Rising demand for energy efficiency and sustainability in both residential and commercial construction.
Complex or multi-step installation requirements that increase labor costs and project timelines.
Inadequate insulation and air tightness in traditional framing, which lead to heat loss, moisture issues, and increased energy costs for the owner which last the lifetime of the structure.
Strict code compliance needs, particularly for regions with extreme climate or seismic activity, such as in Dade County (Florida) and Los Angeles County (California).
What is Our Solution?
Thermal Studs are a comprehensive suite of patented, code-compliant building products that create the highest-rated sustainable building assemblies and systems. These products streamline construction while enhancing energy efficiency, structural strength, and durability.
KEY PRODUCT OFFERINGS INCLUDE:
Tstud™ Products (R19, R28, Uninsulated, and MiniTstud): Advanced thermal break studs that significantly reduce heat transfer, resulting in higher energy savings and comfort.
WarmStud™: Cost effective solution to provide a thermal break.
RhinoStud™: Engineered for enhanced insulation and strength as an insulated metal stud.
Thermal Studs Ultimate Panel System: Pre-engineered, panelized systems (walls, roofs, and floors) that include integrated continuous insulation, vapor control, and pre-drilled electrical holes with wall heights to 24’.
DrainStrip™ Ventilation and RainScreen System: Facilitates 360 degree moisture control and longevity by allowing effective ventilation behind cladding and roofing materials.
Why is Ours Better than Competitors?
Our products are designed to meet and exceed market expectations in energy performance, durability, and ease of installation.
KEY ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:
Exclusive Patents: With 14 patents for the Tstud™ products and additional patents for WarmStud™, RhinoStud™, and DrainStrip™, Thermal Studs offer proprietary solutions that competitors lack.
Comprehensive Insulation and Thermal Breaks: Continuous insulation minimizes thermal bridging, condensation risk, and temperature fluctuations, leading to improved comfort and reduced HVAC costs. We also offer a thermal break stud without insulation, providing a 96% thermal break for those who prefer to choose their own insulation solution, avoiding foam.
Code Compliance: All products are code-compliant, with further testing underway to meet rigorous standards for wind load and seismic performance, making them ideal for regions with challenging building codes without the use of rigid insulation.
Energy Savings and Sustainability: The use of high R-value insulation, combined with thermal breaks, results in a highly efficient thermal envelope, lowering both energy use and environmental impact.
What are the Benefits to Using Our Product(s)?
Pre-insulated Panels: Engineered for fast, simplified installation saving on labor, reducing on-site modifications and enhances precision. Built-in insulation reduces steps in the construction process, as builders no longer need to install separate insulation.
Openings for Easy Installation: The Uninsulated Tstud™ has openings between the truss system allow for easy passage of electrical. For insulated versions, a screwdriver can be used to poke through the spray foam, simplifying electrical installation. For the panels, pre-drilled openings are created for electrical. Pre-engineered headers for windows and doors in the panels minimize adjustments and allow for faster on-site assembly.
Streamlined Airtightness: Achieving zero ACH (air changes per hour) through panels is as simple as taping panel joints and sealing openings, meeting air-tightness requirements efficiently.
Panel Customization Options: Options for stud sizing (2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12, etc.), spacing (16” or 24” on center), sheathing, and spray foam depth provide flexibility to meet different project needs. Liquid applied water resistive barrier is also an option.
Stud Customization Options: Options for stud sizing (2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12, etc.), spacing (16” or 24” on center), and your choice of insulation with the Uninsulated Tstud™.
How Easy is it to Manufacture Our Product?
Thermal Studs’ manufacturing process is designed for cost-effectiveness and quick setup. Licensees benefit from:
Two Manufacturing Models: Licensees can choose to produce individual products (higher CapEx but high returns) or the ultimate panel system which creates Thermal Studs within the panels and a double thermal break with Tstud™ technology (lower CapEx, can be operational within 60 days) or a licensee can purchase both licenses.
Direct Material Sourcing: Licensees can purchase commodities at wholesale rates directly, bypassing distributor and lumberyard markups.
Efficient Manufacturing Setup: The fully loaded Ultimate WarmStud™ Panel and the Ultimate RhinoStud™ Panel is a straightforward assembly, with an estimated cost of goods of $X.37 per square foot, which includes framing materials, labor, spray foam insulation, sheathing, pre-drilled electrical holes, applied water-resistant barriers, royalty, panel engineering, and the DrainStrip™ Ventilation and RainScreen System.
Compatibility with Existing Equipment: Depending on the equipment a licensee already owns, minimal adjustments may be needed, reducing startup costs.

The finished panels, now foamed in with closed-cell spray foam, showcase a consistent, even application—a proprietary process by Thermal Studs.
The Thermal Studs Ultimate Panel System with Uninsulated Tstud™ enabled the rapid construction of walls for this 15,000-square-foot building in Minnesota, completing the entire wall assembly in just 5 days. The front wall's center section stands at an impressive 24 feet, while the remaining walls reach 16 feet in height.

Pre-loaded R20 outboard and inboard insulation of 3” of closed cell spray foam for an effective barrier against Mother Nature.
This is a 5,000 square foot shop that achieved ACH of .10 through the assembly and achieved a 98% thermal break using Tstud™ by Thermal Studs.
A 4,500-square-foot home was assembled in just 1.5 days using the Thermal Studs Ultimate Panel System—all without the need for a crane.
