Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
The Smart Building Solution
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are high-performance building panels made of a foam core sandwiched between two oriented strand board (OSB) facings. They offer superior strength, airtightness, and energy efficiency compared to traditional stick framing, making them ideal for walls, roofs, and floors. SIPs provide exceptional insulation, reduced energy costs, and improved indoor air quality by minimizing allergens and pollutants.
Why Choose SIPs?
-
Superior Strength: Engineered to handle structural loads effectively, ensuring a robust build.
-
Energy Efficiency: The airtight design slashes heating and cooling costs, with air infiltration contributing 33.33% to potential energy savings (per energy conservation data).
-
Health Benefits: Reduces allergens and pollutants for healthier indoor air.
-
Faster Construction: Pre-fabricated panels speed up build times, saving labor costs.
Performance Tips
-
Maximize Savings: The tight envelope reduces energy bills significantly.
-
Moisture Control: Use flashing, sealants, and ventilation to prevent damage.
-
Durability: Protect edges from moisture with precise installation.
