Abstract: A wall panel that has a reflective barrier of an aluminized biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BPET) between an OSB panel, and an industrial grade paper (which is pressed to look like natural wood grain). The aluminized BPET can be integrated into the industrial paper to become one sheet. This wall panel could be applied to interior paneling, drywall or gypsum board, as desired. Another option is to sandwich the aluminized BPET between the industrial paper and the reflective barrier, a layer of self-sealing asphalt. This makes the wall panel waterproof and airtight and helps to keep intact the engineered wood integrity. The aluminized BPET could go between a layer of insulation or particle board and its laminate. The panel's BPET should have a flap of an inch or so on one side to help with air sealing. This creates a barrier between varying temperatures, and adds an R value, and helps keep a building cool.
