| Home built using SIPs |
|
Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) technology can be used with any house design or style.
The advantages of Structural Insulated Panel
Homes abound.
The advantages of this type of construction are:
Energy efficiency- more than twice as energy efficient as conventional construction due to superior insulation values
Increased Structural strength- three times stronger than conventional methods allowing increased living spaces
Reduced air leakage-less drafty, less mold, moisture and dust
Pre-cut at the factory- Speeds the construction process
Quieter- less noise infiltrates home
Environmentally friendly-made from sustainably harvested trees or reconstituted wood and limited petroleum usage
Waste reduction-Little job site or factory waste is produced in panel manufacturing

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are used in Structural Insulated Panel Homes
and consist of a rigid foam core sandwiched between two structural skin boards. The strength of the panels are similar to steel an I-beams with the insulation making up the center section and the two outside members being the wood panels. SIPs are pre-cut, custom fabricated and quickly fitted together at the job site. Both exterior walls and the roof system,
in Structural Insulated Panel Homes, can be constructed from panels. Some companies do not pre-cut their panels and a tremendous amount of job site waste and loss of production is the result. All of our panels are pre-cut, ready to fit windows and doors.
Although the SIP technology has been in use since the 1930s the increased need for energy efficiency as well as environmental considerations has made this technology an important part of today’s building practices.
