Structural
Insulated Panels or SIPs as they are
commonly referred to by construction and
fabrication companies, are high performance
building panels. SIPs are commonly employed
in walls, floors, and roofs for residential
and light commercial buildings.
SIPs consist of three components: the two
outer skins, an inner core of insulating
material, and the adhesive used to bond the
facings to the core. When manufactured under
the right factory controlled conditions,
SIPs result in a building system that is
energy efficient, structurally strong, and
cost effective.
Building with SIPs has proven to be far
superior to "stick framing" in that SIPs
require less labor, time, and money.
