What are ICS-SIPs?
SIPs stands for Structural Insulated Panels. When installed, a SIP provides both structure (support strength) and insulation (resistance to the transfer of heat, cold, sound, vibration, etc.). SIPs designed and manufactured by Insulated Component Structures (ICS) provide the best thermal/structural envelope available today. While most commonly used for exterior walls, SIPs can also serve as a load-bearing floor and ceiling/roof. ICS SIPs are designed to carry the entire range of structural loads in a building. ICS panels are manufactured by injecting polyurethane foam between two surfaces. As part of each panel, structural elements add tremendous strength. These panels are joined together via a patented panel connection system featuring embedded steel cam-locks and a double tongue-and-groove interface, ensuring a sealed, tight fit. A typical lCS 4-1/2 inch (11.43 centimeters) thick panel has an R-value of R-28 or higher (compared to the claim of R-13 for fiberglass insulation). A 6-1/2
