What are SIPs panels?
SIPs stands for structural insulated panels. The panels are like a foam sandwich. With osb being the bread and foam being the goodies inside. There are different types of foam used with different companies. I like to use panels from Enercept. They use an expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) in their panels. The thing I like about the structural insulated panels is the uninterrupted amount of foam that reduces thermal bridging which brings down the R-value (insulation effectiveness) of a conventional framed house.
