Wall Systems
Phoenix Building Components recognizes that prefabricated building is more advantageous than ever. With labour shortages, fluctuating material costs and time restraints to consider producing components in a controlled environment is far more advantageous than traditional stick builds. Phoenix Wall Systems are accurately designed to ensure quick and easy assembly on site. Take advantage of reduced labor costs and complete more homes in less time with less skilled labor on site. Find detailed information for our Wall Systems below.

– Optional lifting straps can be pre-installed on panels for ease of erection - Deliveries are made via drop deck or flatbed trailers up to 53’
– Site unloading by customer
- Provided job site package includes a wealth of information on proper safety and installation practices
- Numbered layouts and individual panel elevations are provided for installation
- Panels are labelled on all 4 corners to easily locate and identify on site
- Reduces site waste by up to 75%
- Speeds up framing time by up to 70%
- Identifies and eliminates errors on plans before getting to site
- Reduced need for skilled trade workers,
- Save on site labour costs up to 55%
- Peace of mind for engineers that specs are being followed when designs are completed and submitted ahead of time for review
- Built in an interior controlled environment means we can build day and night, year around with no weather delays keeping your project on schedule
Structural Insulated Panels
SIP:
- Made of exterior layers of 7/16” OSB skins with EPS foam core.
- Panel thickness – 4-1/2”, 6-1/2”, and 8-1/4”
- Made to work with dimensional lumber (fits between exterior skins)
- Panel sizes 4’x8’ up to 8’x24’ (jumbo panels)
- CNC cut package provides “pre-cut ready to assemble panels”
– Panels designed and pre-cut to fit in place
– Window and door rough openings cut out
– Raked walls and other angles and slopes pre-cut - All accessories required for assembly are provided
– Insulated connection splines
– Insulated LVL headers
– Spray foam
– Adhesive
– Screws
– Custom cut full width very top plate - Panels treated with borate to protect against fungus and insects
- Custom Engineer stamped layouts and details for building permit application
- Up to 8x more airtight than conventional framing reducing heat loss
- Energy use reductions of up to 50%
- Utility bill cost savings of 50-80%
- CNC cut package has almost zero site waste
- Reduce on site framing time but up to 50%
- R-values meet or exceed min. code requirements and also count as continuous insulation layer eliminating the need for additional exterior layers of insulation
- Great compliment to close-in Timber Frame wall systems
Heavy Timber
Timber Frame:
- Materials – Solid Sawn Timber, Glulam, and Parallam (PSL)
- Appearance grade and Structural grade
- Wide variety of sizes and custom curved shapes
