Stresskin Panel System: Strength, Efficiency, and Modern Design

At Timber Ridge Contracting in Orillia, Ontario, we combine traditional craftsmanship with innovative building technology. Our Stresskin Panel System offers unmatched energy efficiency, strength, and precision for both timber frame and log home construction.

These structural insulated panels (SIPs) create a tight, well-insulated building envelope that keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer — all while reducing energy costs and improving indoor comfort.

What Is a Stresskin Panel System?

A Stresskin Panel System consists of two structural layers of oriented strand board (OSB) bonded to a solid foam core, forming a lightweight yet incredibly strong building component. These panels replace conventional framing and insulation, creating an integrated structure that is both airtight and highly efficient.

At Timber Ridge, we use custom-engineered Stresskin panels designed to fit seamlessly with your home’s timber frame or log cabin structure. Each panel is precision-cut and installed to ensure perfect alignment, structural integrity, and superior insulation performance.

Benefits of Stresskin Panel Construction

Building with the Stresskin Panel System offers many advantages over traditional methods:

  • Superior Energy Efficiency: Exceptional insulation values mean lower heating and cooling costs.
  • Fast Installation: Large prefabricated panels go up quickly, saving time and labour.
  • Incredible Strength: The composite structure resists warping, settling, and shifting.
  • Reduced Air Leaks: Provides a continuous, airtight envelope for better indoor comfort.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: Uses sustainable materials and reduces job-site waste.
  • Perfect Match for Timber Frames: Integrates beautifully with handcrafted timber structures.

From cozy log cabins to expansive custom homes, Timber Ridge’s Stresskin Panel System delivers precision performance and enduring quality.
