What
makes the SIP panel system superior to the stick-and-fiberglass
approach in residential and light commercial construction?
approach in residential and light commercial construction?
SIP
shells can be erected much faster than stick-framed shells. This increased
speed not only saves the home-owner money but allows for the building to be
"closed in" much faster. This is especially important in climates
that are weather dependent. Moreover, this speed efficiency can reduce the
potential for on-the-site theft, a very serious problem for a stick-framed
structure undergoing lengthy construction.
Unlike most stick framed and fiberglass insulated shells, SIP shells are eligible for tax credits, green mortgages, energy efficient loans, and other financial incentives because of their superior energy efficiency and environmental benefits. These incentives can increase your borrowing amount and place more initial cash in your pockets.

Conventional
Stick Framing
SIPs
SIPs
are environmentally friendly. The OSB facings of SIPs come from renewable,
farm grown tress such as aspen and popular which are harvested without contributing
to environmental degradation.
A SIP home reduces less CO2 than a conventional stick framed home, thereby reducing dangerous green house gases, a nasty pollutant to our environment. SIP panel homes are more airtight. This increased thermal performance results in decreases heating and cooling costs and reduces the necessity of fossil fuel based energies.
SIP homes create less on the job waste than do stick framed homes. This not only reduces costs associated with trash removal, but saves landfill space and reduces toxic emissions from waste burning disposable facilities.

SIP
panels have higher R-Value ratings than stick framed shells. This superior
thermal performance is due to virtually airtight panels that have continual
foam webbing as insulation. As a result of this increased energy efficiently,
occupants enjoy greater control over the indoor interior environment. Moreover,
occupants enjoy reduced energy costs as heating fuels inevitably increase.
Structural
Properties of EPS Foam
SIP
buildings are strong. SIPs have been rigorously tested and analyzed over the
years and have been found to have superior racking resistance as well as transverse
and axial loading capabilities that far exceed those of conventional stick
framing. In addition, the superb structural properties of EPS foam are worth
mentioning:
SIPs
are a safe, strong, energy efficient, cost effective, and environmentally
friendly alternative to conventional stick framing.
