Why Use Structural Insulated Panels?
There are a number of reasons why you should consider using Structural Insulated Panels. For one, homes built with a SIP roof and walls consume up to 50% less energy by providing a tighter building envelope and higher effective R-value than wood framed walls. SIPs are also easy to install and can shorten the time required to frame a home from a few weeks down to a matter of days. SIPs are good for the environment. Not only do they help conserve our resources by being more energy efficient, the manufacturing of SIPs is also environmentally sound. OSB board produces no lumber waste and uses fast growing tree species, while the foam itself does not off gas and is produced without emitting any o-zone harming chemicals.
