Cut your panel top plate to be continuous over 
the opening and at least 1’ past each end of 
the opening and 1’ from any panel joint.  Install 
the top plate into the panel recess and over the 
header.  Nail the top plate to the Insul-Beam II 
first with 2 16d nails 12” o.c.  Nail the panel 
skins on either side of the header to the top 
plate first then down the sides of the panels 
along the Insul-Beam II.  
Fur out both sides of the Insul-Beam II with 
7/16” sheathing to match the thickness of the 
panels, keeping the sheathing flush with the top 
of the top plate.

In typical platform framing, the rim is placed on 
top of the panel, flush to the exterior, and the 
joists are placed on top of the panel. 
(Floor joists can be either engineered wood 
or dimensional lumber.  For more information,
