What are SIPs?
Structural Insulated Panels or SIPs join expanded polystyrene foam and oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood. The rigid closed-cell foam is sandwiched between the OSB or Plywood to create the SIP panel. This high-performance foam thickness can be adjusted to increase R-Value.
SIPs are manufactured under factory-controlled conditions and can be custom designed for each project. SIPs can be used for residential, commercial, and agricultural projects.

Energy Efficiency
The biggest benefit of SIPs is energy efficiency. Don't pay to heat and cool the outdoors! Air leakage and improperly installed insulation in a stick-built home can waste 20% or more of the energy you use to heat and cool your home.
Choose from R-18, R-26, R-33, or R-40 wall panels.

Superior Strength
Impact resistance is another standard feature of SIPs. The continuous bonding of the polystyrene core to the OSB or plywood offers incredible strength and impact resistance. Vertical and horizontal stress loads are tested two times stronger than conventional stud walls. EPS walls resist up to 7,000 pounds per foot, which results in structures that are stronger, straighter, taller, and wider.
Get Started
Why should you use SIPs for your new home?
- The insulation is solid and does not allow for air movement. Which prevents dust and allergens from penetrating the building.
- The insulation resists water.
- There are no thermal shorts.
- Framing and insulation are combined into one panel allowing for faster construction.
- Larger clear spans can be designed as the panel loads are distributed over the entire panel.
