What Are SIPs?
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high-performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. SIPs are the preferred choice for builders who have a passion for their craft and want to leave a legacy with their quality work. The innovative panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are precisely manufactured under factory-controlled conditions and fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system to be proud of.
Better for All
Build healthier, energy-efficient resilient structures for clients who care about the environment. Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) provide superior strength against wind, snow and natural disasters, and the tighter envelope means significantly less air leakage for a healthier, more efficient building.

Here are some other advantages of SIPs
- They go up Quickly and Easily. Depending upon the size and design of a home, it can be enclosed with SIPs within days or even hours. This saves money on labor, insurance and financing, as well as energy on the job site.
- They’re Flexible. SIPs can arrive at the home site and the panels will be cut exactly to the home’s design at our factory, then numbered for easy installation, which results in less wasted materials and resources.
- They’re Energy Efficient. SIPs cut heating and cooling costs by as much as 60 percent over products used for conventional “stick” construction. Even where wall thickness is the same, SIPs outperform stick framing on whole-wall energy performance by 40 to 60 percent, according to a study by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
- They’re Soundproof. SIPs block sound like few other materials—a big perk, especially in bedrooms, dens, home offices and media rooms. This due to the solid construction and lack of air transfer,
- They’re Environmentally Friendly. Components that comprise SIPs come from renewable resources. The insulation is a form of plastic, and oriented strand board (OSB) is made from fast-growing trees and shrubs once considered waste by the lumber industry.
