What are structural insulated panels?

SIPs are pre-fabricated building panels that combine insulation and structure in one unit.

How much energy can SIPs save?

They can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 60% compared to conventional construction.

Today’s most innovative builders are choosing to build with SIPs, and these are just some of the reasons why:

Less than Lumber

Fast Installation

Large, pre-cut structural panels allow building envelope to be erected 50% faster, with no need for separate on-site framing and insulation work, enabling you to finish your project faster.

Economical to Operate

The tight building envelope reduces heating and cooling costs by up to 60%, offering significant savings on operating costs as well as greatly reduced mechanical equipment needs.
