Structural Insulated Panels or SIPs
Structural Insulated Panels are building materials made from an insulating layer of foam between
two layers of board . The board is generally OSB and the foam polyurethane, but there are variations in
the makeup of SIPs. For example, the boards can be made from steel, sheet metal, plywood or even
cement. Structural Insulated Panels can be used in the construction of walls, roof, floors and the
foundation of the house.
Homes built using SIPs can provide benefits over other forms of construction. They can reduce the
construction time of your new home because once they are delivered to the home site the home can be
completed in less time than traditional site built homes. Although SIPs may cost more initially to build,
the time savings can save some on overall construction costs. More importantly, homes built with
Structural Insulated Panels have such a tight building envelope they can significantly reduce energy
costs for the life of the home.
There are many experienced Panelized Home Builders in the U.S. that can build your dream home
with Structural Insulated Panels. Some home builders also buy the SIPs for their home project and
have them delivered to the site, then complete the construction themselves, usually with the help of a
construction manager.
