WARMSTUD™
The WarmStud™ is a special kind of 2x4 made from high-quality lumber that has a layer of dense pour foam (2.2# density PUR foam) attached to its outer surface. Available in a 5.5” and 7.25” depth. This design aims to create a thermal break in the wall assembly, similar to what the BareNaked Tstud™ does. The WarmStud™ goes above and beyond the 2021 IECC Energy Codes for rigid insulation, meeting the requirements even for Climate Zone 7.
100% Complete Thermal Break Through The Stud
Code Compliant in the United States and Canada.

KEY BENEFITS
Provides ~12% reduction in heating and cooling costs, depending on how many times to you open the door
Provides a payback of approximately ~1 year compared to 5 years with blue or pink rigid insulation
Least expensive method of achieving a thermal break
Least expensive method of achieving a sound break
Holds in axial compressive loading 900# to 1400# depending on species of lumber
Can use a 3.5” nail to affix sheathing
WarmStud will ultimately offer a sound transmission rating as well but is untested at this time.
