STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANEL BENEFITS
- Greater insulation values are possible with SIP construction. Typically 50% savings on the cost of heating and 35 % savings on the cost cooling. Constant R-Value regardless of weather conditions.
- Requires between 35% to 45% less dimensional lumber.
- Superior Sound Insulation.
- Complex Roof Systems are installed faster and require less high-priced skilled labor on site.
- Greater Structural Performance and Greater Structural Design Flexibility. Cantilever Options are less expensive and easier to execute.
- Contributes to a higher Energy Star Rating. Typically a Platinum Rating.
- Contributes to improved scores concerning LEED Program. (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
- Environmentally Responsible – Less Material Waste – A Green Building Material.
- No air can infiltrate the wall or roof which eliminates the possibility of mold and mildew. No condensation can form in the walls or roof panels, which eliminates soffit and ridge vents.
- Reduce the risk of loss due to lightning hits.
SIPs MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER, SAVE YOU MONEY, AND ARE KIND TO THE ENVIRONMENT
- Reduced job-site injuries since panels are erected in far less time than stick-frame and workers are in fewer vulnerable positions on the job site.
- Better quality and increased energy efficiency compared to site-built stick-frame.
- Less labor at lower wages from a broader pool of laborers.
- Less on-site storage for SIPs than raw lumber.
- Lower costs by reducing theft and vandalism because structures are closed up faster in which to store materials.
- Reduced cost by shortening the schedule and reduce the chance of weather related delays.
- Less waste, which is a savings of debris removal and environmentally conscious.
- A fast SIP set is a breeze compared to stick-built framing in the mud.
