Titan Panel System

One panel.
One engineered
building envelope.

Structure, insulation, air barrier and vapour barrier in a single engineered panel — MGO skins permanently bonded to a high-density EPS core under hydraulic press, then CNC-machined to your drawings.

Construction: MGO / EPS / MGO
Fire rating: ASTM E84 Class A
R-value options: R-23 – R-48

Panel Construction

Built from the inside out.

Every Titanwall MGO SIP is a five-layer assembly: two white MGO exterior skins, two layers of specialised structural glue, and a high-density EPS core between them. The result behaves as one solid structural unit, not as separate materials stacked together.

Lamination

Why the bond will not fail.

The panels are not simply glued. Structural glue is applied evenly to the MGO skins and EPS core, the layers are assembled and placed in a hydraulic press, and extreme uniform pressure is applied across the whole panel until cured — forcing the adhesive deep into both surfaces.

Adhesive applied

Specialised structural glue is applied evenly to the MGO skins and the EPS core.

Assembled and pressed

The layers are stacked and placed into a hydraulic press.

Cured under pressure

Extreme, uniform pressure is applied across the entire panel until the bond has cured.

The result is a mechanical and chemical bond far stronger than field-applied adhesives — engineered for load-bearing applications, dimensionally stable, and with no swelling or shrinking the way OSB behaves.

Electrical Chases

Wiring runs built into every panel.

Every panel is manufactured with pre-burned circular electrical chases running vertically through the EPS core. Electricians pull wire through the channel without drilling framing members or modifying the structure — so the structural integrity of the panel is never compromised on site.

Electrical Installation

Electrical without all the extra layers.

In conventional construction, electrical wiring is run through the stud cavities — and the interior then typically needs a separate poly vapour barrier before drywall.

With the Titanwall MGO SIP system, no separate polyethylene vapour barrier is required as part of the wall assembly. So installing outlets and switches doesn’t mean working around, cutting or repairing a layer of interior poly.

Wiring is routed through the pre-planned electrical chases in the EPS or GPS insulation core, electrical boxes are installed directly into the panel, and the interior is then finished to the project specifications.

No separate poly vapour barrier.
No stapling wire to every stud.
No conventional insulated stud cavities.
Fewer layers. A simpler wall assembly.

Behind the Wall

What’s behind your outlet?

It may look like an ordinary electrical outlet when the building is finished — but what’s behind it is very different.

The SIP carries continuous insulation with reduced thermal bridging, so the full envelope acts as a thermal blanket. A stud wall interrupts its insulation at every framing member. Compare every thickness and core ↓

Fire Performance

Fire resistance is inherent to the material.

Magnum® MGO board is a fibreglass-reinforced, cementitious sheathing with no organic binders — so the fire performance is a property of the panel itself, not a coating added in a secondary layer.

R-Value

How much R-value do you really need?

When it comes to insulation, more isn’t always proportionally better.

R-value measures resistance to heat flow. As insulation is added, heat loss drops dramatically at first — but the benefit of each additional R-value becomes smaller as the wall reaches higher levels of insulation. That’s the idea behind diminishing returns.

So the goal isn’t simply to build the thickest wall possible.

The goal is to build the right wall for your climate, your building and the performance you want.

That’s where Titanwall gives you options.

Titanwall MGO SIP panels let you select the insulation and panel thickness that make sense for your project. EPS provides approximately R-3.8 per inch, while GPS graphite insulation provides approximately R-5.0 per inch — giving you the ability to achieve greater R-value without simply continuing to make the wall thicker.

Choose your R-value

GPS core: R-29

8.5 in216 mm

EPS core: R-29
GPS core: R-38

10.25 in260 mm

EPS core: R-37
GPS core: R-48

But R-value isn’t the whole story.

A high R-value is valuable — but how the insulation is installed matters too. Traditional framed walls contain studs, headers and other structural members that interrupt the insulation and create paths for heat to travel through the wall.

With Titanwall, the insulation core is continuous throughout the panel, helping reduce thermal bridging while the MGO skins form part of the complete panel system.

So when you’re comparing building systems, don’t look at the insulation number alone. Look at the entire wall.

The diminishing return of insulation

Higher R-values reduce heat loss — but the biggest gains happen at lower R-values.

The largest reduction in heat loss occurs at lower R-values.
From R-19 to R-30, energy consumption decreases by about 10%.
An additional R-10 beyond R-30 reduces energy use by less than 5%.
A well-designed, continuous insulation system like Titanwall MGO SIP helps you achieve high performance efficiently.

Illustrative model of whole-building heat loss; actual savings vary by climate, design and air-tightness.

Build for performance — not just a number.

A home in southern Alberta, a mountain cabin in Montana and a building in Arizona don’t experience the same conditions. That’s why we don’t believe every project needs exactly the same panel.

The question isn’t “How much insulation can we put in the wall?”

It’s “How do we build the wall to perform better?”

That’s the Titanwall approach.
