True-pitch can provide volume or additional square footage Insulated roof compared to insulated ceiling No need for attic ventilation Custom pitch cuts can be created in factory to reduce field labor A SIP roof system differs from a truss roof […]
Sill Plate set first Plate is caulked Panel has factory recess to fit over sill plate Following conventional framing techniques, a sill plate is first set and squared. The structural insulated panel is then set over the plate and fastened […]
Labor-efficient framing All rough openings can be created in factory by custom manufacturers Chases created in factory for electrical/plumbing High R-Values, Low infiltration Connection splines can be factory installed, or field installed As previously stated, custom SIP walls will have […]
Fastened with factory-approved screws on 16” centers Framing members typically 24” O.C. Underlayment should be utilized between finished flooring materials Considerations for HVAC systems should occur in the design phase SIP floor systems can offer less deflection than some floor […]

SIPs are square, straight, and built to the dimensions of the structure in a controlled environment Framing, sheathing, and insulation in one step Less labor, better R-Value, tighter structure 2 ½ times stronger than stick frame construction SIP construction continues […]
Created conceptually in 1935 Frank Lloyd Wright used SIPs in affordable housing in the 1930s & 1940s. By 1960s, SIPs were manufactured as we know them today. Many people are not aware that SIP construction have been around for […]
Structural Insulated Panels are a high-performance, energy-efficient system. They consist of structural skins laminated around a solid foam (EPS, XPS or PU) core. SIPs are a composite building material. They consist of an insulating layer of rigid core sandwiched […]
Blabbity bloobity blah. This answer is always C. Except in Question 3.
