SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panel. These panels are made like a sandwich composed of two sheets of oriented strand board (a durable and stronger version of plywood), plus rigid, extruded, polystyrene foam (EPS) which comes in different thicknesses and various predictable insulation values (based upon the value R 4 per inch of thickness). These sandwich panels provide 2-3 times the strength of a traditionally built wall, floor and roof, because they have the properties of a continuous column or I-beam. These panels don’t twist, warp or crack. Instead, they provide perfectly square and plumb walls, roofs and floors…which are a huge benefit to every builder.

How Do I Get Started?

 

The first step in building with sips is either choosing your house design or bringing the house design you have to us. We can take a sketch on a napkin to permit ready plans or modify a design to suit your needs as well. If you have a plan for a stick frame house we can advise you on how your design can be converted to a sip panel structure.
