Modular Homes with SIP Panels

      Structural Insulated Panels, also called SIPs are a sandwich of wood
(usually osb) with insulating foam on the inside. They are considered to be a
Green product for many reasons. Modular Homes that use SIPs enable
manufacturers that are already building green homes to make their modular
homes even more energy-efficient by utilizing panels in the walls, roof, and
floors.

      Homes constructed using these panels have proven to be very
energy-efficient because they create a tight seal to the home that does not let
heated or cooled air escape from the house. When they are used on a site built
home they can save time because they come assembled and can be easily
constructed, which cuts down on cost overruns.

      There are some modular home companies that are now combining these
two building methods to build houses that are even stronger and more friendly to
the environment. Rather than describe what these companies are doing, we'll
just put links to the websites of modular home companies that are utilizing SIPs
in their building process.
