Shades of Green Construction
SIPs
Structural Insulated Panels...The Future of Green
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high performance building panels used in floors,
walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial buildings. The panels are
typically made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation between two
structural skins of oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are manufactured under factory
controlled conditions and can be custom designed for each home. The result is a
building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective.
Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.
SIP buildings are 66% more energy efficient than standard frame construction
2-1/2 times stronger than standard building materials
Cuts framing time by 2/3rds
