Cracking the code on foam insulation
By Hunter Panels. Behind every high-performance wall is a code-compliant design. When you see a wall packed with polyiso foam insulation from manufacturers like Hunter Panels, you're looking at more than just energy efficiency, you're looking at a component that was carefully crafted for code compliance. At the center of ...
Understanding IECC compliance
By Hunter Panels. Designing energy-efficient exterior walls that meet IECC code requirements without compromise, confusion or unnecessary cost. Above-grade exterior walls must meet the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and building professionals face a choice: follow the R-value path or the U-value path. Both are prescriptive methods allowed under the ...
Reducing costs on tapered roofs with extended panels
By Hunter Panels. Learn about the benefits and strategies for using extended panels when working with a tapered polysio system. Designers and installers working on tapered roof systems often end up utilizing a range of specialty products to reduce the overall cost of building a tapered roof system. From prefabricated ...

Flip the board, control the cure
By Hunter Panels. Roofers finally get to call the shots on adhesive flash-off times. Roofers have long worked against the clock, not with it — especially when the weather refused to play nice with adhesive flash-off times. Now, that outdated trade-off is gone. ReadyFlash from Hunter Panels puts timing back in the ...
Choosing the right fastener
By Hunter Panels. Precision matters — secure your insulation the right way. When it comes to securing roofing and wall composite insulation panels, not all fasteners are created equal. The right choice can mean the difference between a long-lasting, weather-resistant installation and one that fails under pressure. Whether you’re working with structural ...
Understanding R-Value testing in building products
By Hunter Panels. Demystifying the heat flow resistance measurement. The R-value of a building material, which measures its resistance to heat flow, determines its insulating capability and is crucial for the energy efficiency of a structure. But how exactly is this critical value determined? From the precision of ASTM C518 testing methods ...
The building blocks of a taper roof system
By Emma Peterson. To help visualize and conceptualize the steps to installing a tapered roof, Hunter Panels design team came up with a creative, 3D solution. While at the 2024 International Roofing Expo (IRE), RoofersCoffeeShop® crew member Lauren White stopped by the Hunter Panels booth. Like many of the tradeshow attendees, she ...
The true insulating power of roofing materials
By Hunter Panels. How real-world conditions can influence a product's thermal efficiency. In the quest for the perfect insulation, homeowners and builders often rely on R-value as the gold standard of measurement for the insulation’s performance. But what happens when laboratory conditions differ from the real world? Understanding the gap ...
